INSPECTION:

Carefully unpack and inspect your 879 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, the machine, or its parts.

CLEANING SOLUTIONS:

We recommend liquid cleaning chemicals. Powder chemicals ma y be used, but unless mixed very thoroughly they could cause a build-up in the pump, lines, and quick disconnects. Any problem caused by a chemical build-up is not covered by warranty . Use a neutr al cleaner with a pH between 5 and 10 to avoid premature wear of the pump, seals, and/or other components. It is a good idea to test an inconspicuous area of the ﬂ oor.

DANGER: DO NOT USE SOLVENTS, OR ANY CHEMICALS

THAT MAY BE FLAMMABLE, EXPLOSIVE, OR COMBUSTIBLE.

MAINTENANCE:

For optimum performance ﬂ ush the machine with clear water at the end of each working day. Once a month, minimum, run a ﬂ ushing compound through the machine to break up any mineral or chemical build- up that may have formed. The vacuum motor and the pump do not require any scheduled maintenance; however, the motor may require replacement brushes after 1000 - 1500 hours. 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 all purpose silicone spray.

PARTS AND SERVICE:

Repairs, when required, should be performed by your Servpro distributor who maintains an inventory of original replacement parts and accessories. Call the distributor from whom you purchased this machine if you need parts and service. Be sure to specify the machine model. Have your serial number handy.

SET-UP & OPERATION

1. Before each use, inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tools for cleanliness and completeness.

Make sure hoses are in good condition and the spray nozzle(s) is tight.

2. If not using the auto-dump feature, just make sure the brass cap is on the drain hose connector on the front of the base of the machine.

If you choose to use the auto-dump feature, remove the brass cover on the hose connector on the front of base of the machine, attach a hose, and place the open end of the hose in a drain. Make sure the recovery tank drain gate is closed, and the lid is tight on the recovery tank.

3. If you choose not to use the auto-ﬁ ll feature, just ﬁ ll the tank with water and cleaning chemical. Follow chemical directions regarding dilution and mixing. Do not use harsh chemicals; they may damage seals in pumps and valves, and cause the pump to wear prematurely. .

If you choose to use the auto-ﬁ ll feature, connect the ﬁ ll hose to the auto-ﬁ ll connector (located over the solution tank ﬁ ll hole). Turn on the water source -- HIGH PRESSURE IS NOT NECESSARY -- and allow the tank to ﬁ ll with water. When using the auto-ﬁ ll system, the auto-ﬁ ll ﬂ oat will automatically turn on and turn off as the tank empties and then ﬁ lls.

NOTE: Never put water with a temperature exceeding 130

4. Pre-spray the area to be cleaned, with a pump-up sprayer, while the tank is ﬁ lling. Follow chemical

directions.

5. Plug in the two power cords. Do not connect both cords to the same outlet. The green, ‘separate circuit locator light (1) on the switch plate should light up. If the locator light does not come on, check the circuit breaker box in the wall, and/or try different outlets until it does turn on. Although all systems in the machine may work correctly if you are not on two circuits, a circuit breaker in a wall panel may trip. If you make sure the green light is turned on, you will prevent tripped circuit breakers.

F / 54 °C in the solution tank

6. Prime the 1200 psi pump: ﬁ ll the solution tank with water, if not already done, and turn on the pump. You may notice a ‘tone’ change in the sound of the pump (smoother, with less of a rattle).

CAUTION -- NEVER TURN ON THE SOLUTION PUMP BEFORE CONNECTING YOUR

SOLUTION LINE TO YOUR MACHINE AND TO YOUR TOOL. If the pump builds pressure before you connect the hose and tool, you will not be able to connect them.

7. Use defoamer to prevent foam.

8. Attach the solution spray hose to the solution quick disconnect. Attach the vacuum hose to the hose

barb on the front of the recovery tank. Connect the other ends of the hoses to the tool.

9. Turn on the vacuum (2) and turn on the dump pump (3). Begin spraying.

10. When the job is ﬁ nished, turn off the water source. Vacuum the remaining solution from the solution

tank into the recovery tank.

11. Run a few gallons of clean water through the system. Drain the recovery tank by opening the drain gate over a bucket or drain. Disconnect the hoses from the cleaning tool.

12. Unplug the power cords.

13. Clean the machine and the tool. Never store your machine outside, and keep it from extremes in tem-

peratures.

NOTE: if the green, circuit locator light does not illuminate when the cords are plugged in, then both cords are on

the same circuit. Try other outlets with one of the cords until you get the locator light to come on. NOTE: if the heat switch is turned on when both cords are on the same circuit, the breaker in the wall may trip.

AUTO VACUUM SHUTOFF:

When the recovery tank is full, the ball ﬂ oat will shut-off the suction to prevent the machine from overﬂ owing. NOTE: the ﬂ oat may not work if there is foam in the tank. Always use defoamer to

prevent overﬂ ow.

AUTO-FILL

1 Operation:

• Attach a 3/4” garden hose to the auto-ﬁ ll valve, and connect the other end of the hose to your water

source.

• Make sure the ﬂ oat that hangs from the auto-ﬁ ll valve into the tank is free of obstruction and can move freely.

• Turn the water supply on.

• The auto-ﬁ ll ﬂ oat will automatically shut-off the ﬂ ow of incoming water when the solution tank is nearly full, and it will allow the valve to open again once the water level has dropped to a predeter mined level.

AUTO-DUMP

1 Operation:

• Before each use: if necessary, unscrew the stainless steel ﬁ lter at the bottom of the recovery tank and clean it. Also make sure the ﬂ oat in the recovery tank is clean.

Attach a 3/4” garden hose to the dump pump outlet ﬁ tting on the back of the base of the

• machine.

Run the other end of the hose into a drain.

•

Turn ON the dump pump switch (switch is located on the switch panel on the top of the machine).

•

• NOTE: the dump pump is ‘self-priming.’ You should see water start to ﬂ ow within 30 seconds of the pump turning on. If water does not begin to ﬂ ow, check the ﬁ lter to see if it is plugged with debris.

• After each job: run clear water though the dump pump to wash out any chemical residue. Remove and clean the stainless steel ﬁ lter in the back of the tank. Reinstall the ﬁ lter once it is clean. Clean and empty the recovery tank.

CAUTION: Use care when handling hazardous chemicals.

CAUTION: Never leave the machine running when you are not actively using it.

CAUTION: always use a defoamer in the recovery tank to prevent water or foam from entering the vacuum motor.

CAUTION: Always make sure the ﬂ oat cage is clean and the ball can

travel freely before turning on the machine.
