• Do not pull by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord

INSPECTION:

Carefully unpack and inspect your KING COBRA-1200 PRO 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-spray. Use a neutral pH
rinse or detergent (6 to 10 pH) in the King Cobra to prevent premature wear of the pumps, seals,
and other components. Damage caused by the use of improper or strong chemicals is not covered by
warranty. Powdered chemicals are not recommended.

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, pump motors, and the pumps do not require any
scheduled maintenance; however, the motors may require replacement brushes after 1000 - 1500
hours, and the high pressure pumps and unloader valves 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 all purpose silicone spray.
