WARNING
GENERAL
The CTV-1501 TowerVac® is a pumping/ltering system for removing sediment and
other debris from the basin of cooling towers. Its integrated lter captures particles
down to 3/16” (4,76 mm). When the TowerVac® is used by itself, the removed
debris can be ushed down roof or storm drains. When it is used with Goodway
Technologies’ CTV-F2 ltration system the water can be returned to the
cooling tower.
The CTV-1501 consists of the following components:
1. CTV-1501 TowerVac® Cooling Tower Vacuum
2. 15' (4,5 m) inlet and 25' (7,6 m) outlet vinyl crush proof hoses with
storage bag
3. 4' (1,2 m) wand with 6' (1,8 m) gulper tool attachment
Cooling tower manufacturers recommend regular cleaning of the basin to achieve
maximum equipment life.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for the electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged 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 electrocution. Check with a qualied electrician or service
personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the product - if it will not t the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualied electrician. Do not use any type of adapter with
this product.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION
The CTV-1501 is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into
the power supply cord. This device provides additional protection from the risk of
electrical shock. Should replacement of the cord or plug become necessary, use
only identical replacement parts that include GFCI protection.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and
3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the product. Use only extension
cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identied by a
marking "Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors while not in
use." Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of
the product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cords before
using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not pull on any
cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect
the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the
extension cord. If supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualied person in order to avoid hazards.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off
the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.
CAUTIONS
•DO NOT RUN THE PUMP DRY FOR MORE THAN 15 SECONDS
•Do not spray water onto the machine housing as serious damage can result,
voiding the warranty
• Not for use with ammable or hazardous liquids
• If foam or liquid escapes from appliance, switch off immediately
ELECTRIC MOTOR
The CTV-1501 utilizes an electric motor equipped with thermal overload protection.
Should the motor overheat, the thermal overload will cut off power to the motor.
The overload is automatically reset when the motor cools down sufciently.
ALWAYS DETERMINE AND CORRECT THE CAUSE OF THERMAL OVERLOAD
BEFORE USING THE MACHINE AGAIN.
SET-UP
ADVANCED PREPARATION:
Allow the debris in the basin to settle for 24 to 48 hours before cleaning.
Approximately 20 to 25 percent of the basin water will be discharged during the
cleaning process. The basin water level can be raised before cleaning by adding
make-up water to the basin.
