• If the machine is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or flooded
with water, return it to a service center.
• Do not pull the machine by the cord, do not use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or
pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the machine over the cord. Keep the cord
away from heated surfaces.To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Do not let the pump run dry. If you run out of water, turn the machine off and refill.
INSPECTION:
Carefully unpack and inspect your HSC 585-MULTI for shipping damage. Each machine is tested
and inspected before shipping. Any shipping damage incurred is the responsibility of the carrier.
You should notify the carrier immediately if you notice damage to the box or to the machine or
parts.
CLEANING SOLUTIONS:
Select a proper pre-spray for the surface to be cleaned, and apply the pre-spra y. Use a neutral
pH rinse or detergent (6 to 9 pH) in the HSC 585 to prevent premature wear of the pump, seals
and other components. Powdered chemicals are not recommended.
MAINTENANCE:
For optimum performance, flush the machine with clear water at the end of each working day.
Once a month, minimum, run a flushing compound through the machine to break up any
mineral or chemical build-up that may have formed in the lines, the pumps, or the heater.
The vacuum motor, pump motor, and the pump do not require any scheduled maintenance;
however, the vacuum motors may require replacement brushes after 1000 - 1500 hours, and the
high pressure pump and unloader valve may require rebuild kits after 500 -1000 hours (refer to
machine part list for numbers). Clean the body with an all purpose detergent, and protect it with
an automobile interior polish. Lubricate the wheels, castors, and quick disconnects with an allpurpose silicone spray.
NOTE: to remove the complete reel with hoses from the machine, pull the vacuum hose loose
from the hose barb on the front of the tank, and push the short piece of vacuum hose into the
center of the hose spool. Disconnect the solution hose quick coupling. Grasp the spool from either
side, and lift it off the machine.
NOTE: before servicing any component in the base cabinet, remove the hoses and spool before
opening the tanks.
