Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the machine - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a
grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A
temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in figures B
and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (figure A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is
used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted
by the Canadian Electrical Code
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only three-wire 12/3 or larger gauge approved extension
cords that have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole
receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug. Replace or repair
any damaged cords or plugs.
When servicing, refer to authorized person only. Use only identical replacement parts.
NOTE: Do not use adapters shown in figures B & C in Canada

OPERA TING & MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
WARNING! - For the safe operation of this ma-
chine follow instructions given in this booklet and
the training given by your supervisor. Failure to
do so can result in personal injury and/or damage
to machine and property!
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IN AN
EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT!
WARNING! - NEVER USE THIS MACHINE TO PICK
UP VOLA TILE OR EXPLOSIVE MA TERIALS.
OPERATION
T o prepare the machine for operation, make sure it is of
the correct voltage and properly assembled. If in doubt,
ask your supervisor.
This machine in its original configuration is designed for
wet/pick up utilizing the front mount squeegee but for
convenience a dry filter bag has been included to enable you to use this unit for various functions. A tool kit
must be ordered as an accessory for dry pick up.
T o assemble your unit:
Unpack your unit from its shipping carton. Locate the
front mount squeegee assembly & hose assembly (see
page 8). The squeegee assembly mounts to the unit
by sliding the support bracket (item 15 on page 8) attached to the front mount squeegee onto the squeegee
mounting bracket located at the base of the tank at the
front of your unit. Position the front mount squeegee in
the center postion and then lock the assembly onto the
unit by turning the locking knob (item 8 on page 8) to
the right until firmly tightened. Depending on your
applicatiion, you can also offset the front mount squeegee further tot he right or left to get under toe kicks.
Attach the hose assembly by pushing the button on the
coupler located at the front of your tank (item 25 on
page 6) and inserting the vac end adapter (item 1 on
page 8) into the coupler and releasing the button to lock
it in. Then slide the other hose end into the port located
at the top of the front mount squeegee. You would reverse this process to remove the front mount squeegee
for transport.
To adjust the downward pressure on your front mount
squeegee you can turn the adjusting knob (item 9 on
page 8) to create more downward pressure (clockwise
turns) or less downward pressure (counter-clockwise
turns) until your squeegee is moving across the floor at
your preferred height.
Additional squeegee height adjustment can be made
by turning the caster knobs (item 19 on page 8) on the
front mount squeegee to increase or decrease the caster
height which would raise or lower the squeegee height .
FOR WET PICK UP:
“Wet” refers to liquids such as water, scrub solutions
and detergents, NOT volatile or explosive materials.
1. Release the clamps on the sides of the tank and
head assembly . Lift the head assembly of f and set
it aside.
2. Then lift the cloth filter assembly out of the collector
tank. Store the filter assembly for future, dry pick
up use. DO NOT RE-INSTALL.
3. Empty the collector tank of all dust and debris. Also
wipe the inside of the collector tank to remove cling
-ing dust.
4. Check the float shut-off device on the lower portion of
the head assembly . The float should have free move
-ment. When the recovered liquid soilage reaches
the collector tank capacity, the float will rise to shut
off the air flow , stopping the liquid recovery. This
prevents damaging over flow and signals the opera
-tor when to empty the collector tank.
5. Replace the head assembly and fasten the clamps.
Attach the short vacuum hose to both the coupler
on the tank and to the front mount squeegee.
6. Plug the power cord into a 120-volt grounded outlet.
7. Turn the machine’s motor on by pressing the rocker
switch that is located on the head assembly.
FOR DRY PICK UP:
“Dry” refers to material such as dust, dirt, debris and
dry foam shampoo.
1. Release the clamps on the sides of the tank and
head assembly . Lift the head assembly of f and set
it aside.
2. The lift the cloth filter assembly out of the collector
tank. Clean the cloth filter if needed (reference the
“Maintenance” section).
3. Empty the collector tank of all dust and debris. If the
debris is wet, empty and dry the inside of the tank
thoroughly .
4. Place the cloth filter assembly back into the
collector tank.
Check for a good seal around the outer filter lip and
tank rim.
5. Replace the head assembly and fasten the clamps.
Att ach the hose, wand and floor tool of choice. Note:
Tool kit must be ordered as an accessory for this
model.
6. Plug the power cord into a 120-volt grounded outlet.
7. Turn the machine’s motor on by pressing the rocker
switch that is located on the head of the assembly .
