IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE!
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
1. You must be trained to operate this machine. This machine is to be operated for its intended use
only.
2. Do not operate this machine unless it is completely assembled.
3. Always use a three-wire electrical system connected to the electrical ground. For maximum protec-
tion against electrical shock, use a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Con-
sult your electrical contractor.
4. To prevent electrical shock: Always remove the electrical plug from the electrical outlet before per-
forming any repairs, maintenance or cleanup and when leaving the machine unattended.
5. To prevent electrical shock: Keep the machine surface dry; Do not subject to rain; Store the machine
in a dry building area; Clean the machine with a dry cloth only.
6. Machines can cause an explosion when near flammable materials and vapors. Do not use or store
this machine with or near fuels, grain dust, solvents, thinners, or other flammable materials. Do not
use flammables to clean this machine.
7. Maintenance and repairs must be done by a qualified or authorized person.
8. If the machine is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into
water, return it to a service center.
9. To avoid damage to the machine’s electrical cord, always lift the machine over the cord. Do not run
the machine over the electircal cord.
10. Make sure all labels, decals, warnings, cautions and instructions are fastened to the machine.
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric cur-
rent 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 con-
ductor 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 16/3 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 replace-
ment parts.
Grounding Instructions
NOTE: Do not use adapters shown in figures B & C in Canada

MAINTENANCE
Good maintenance procedures assure better operation,
fewer repairs and longer life to your machine.
DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL PLUG OF THE MA-
CHINE FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE
DOING ANY CLEANUP, REPAIRS OR MAINTENANCE
OFTHEMACHINEANDWHENLEAVINGTHEMACHINE
UNATTENDED.
CLEAN THE MACHINE AFTER EACH USE:
1. Wipe the outside with a clean cloth.
2. Clean the collector tank: Release the clamps on each side
of the tank and head assembly. Lift the head assembly off
and set aside. Lift the filter assembly out of the collector
tank and set aside. Then wipe the inside of the collector tank
with a clean cloth.
3. Empty and check the filter assembly: Empty the recovered
soilage into a suitable container and shake to remove clinging
dirt. Brush the outside of the filter bag to remove embedded
dirt. Check the filter assembly for tears or holes; repair or
replace if necessary. Install the clean filter assembly into the
clean collector tank.
ELECTRICAL CABLE:
Check the cord for any nicks, cuts or damage. Report these to
your supervisor for correction.
VACUUM HEAD ASSEMBLY:
1. Gaskets: Clean the vacuum head gasket and the float shut-off
gasket.
2. Float Shut-Off Device: This should move freely. Remove
any debris or strings from the float cage.
3. Head Assembly: Replace and leave ajar if the collector tank is
damp to prevent mildew.
WHEELS AND CASTERS:
Check these for cuts and nicks. Remove any strings or debris that
may restrict the free movement of the wheels. Wipe the treads
clean.
CARBON BRUSH INSPECTION:
Check for wear at six month intervals or every 600 hours of
operation. The carbon brushes must be replaced if worn shorter
than 3/8 inch.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
WARNING! For the safe operation of this machine follow
the 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!
To prepare the machine for operation, make sure it is of the correct
voltage and properly assembled. If in doubt, ask your supervisor.
FOR DRY PICK-UP:
“Dry” refers to material such as dust, dirt, debris and dry foam
shampoo.
1. Release the clamp on each side of the tank and head assembly.
Lift the head assembly off and set it aside.
2. Then 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 both clamps. Attach
the hose, wand and floor tool of choice (reference page 5).
6. Plug the power cord into a 115-volt, 60 cycle grounded outlet.
7. Turn the machine’s motor on by pressing the rocker switch
which is located on the head assembly.
WARNING! NEVER USE THIS MACHINE TO PICK UP
VOLATILE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS.
FOR WET PICK-UP:
“Wet” refers to liquids such as water, scrub solutions and deter-
gents; NOT VOLATILE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS.
1. Release the clamp on each side of the tank and head assembly.
Lift the head assembly off 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 REINSTALL.
3. Empty the collector tank of all dust and debris. Also wipe
the inside of the collector tank to remove clinging dust.
4. Check the float shut-off device on the lower portion of the
head assembly. The float should have free movement. When
the recovered liquid soilage reaches the collector tank capac-
ity, the float will rise to shut off the air flow, stopping the
liquid recovery. This prevents damaging overflow and signals
the operator when to empty the collector tank.
5. Replace the head assembly and fasten both clamps. Attach
the hose, wand and floor tool of choice (reference page 5).
6. Plug the power cord into a 115-volt, 60 cycle grounded outlet.
7. Turn the machine’s motor on by pressing the rocker switch
which is located on the head assembly.

PART #608510
TOOL KIT ASSEMBLY:
1. Connect the hose to the collector tank by inserting the
large, grooved hose adapter end into the tank adapter.
Pull the locking pin up to allow the hose adapter to slide
further in. Release the locking pin to engage the large
groove.
2. Insert the upper wand half firmly into the lower wand
assembly. The dimple on the lower wand aligns with the
groove of the upper half to assure a rigid fit.
3. Insert the wand end into the free end of the vacuum hose.
Then fasten the proper floor tool to the to the wand by
inserting the mating end of the floor tool into the adapter
collar of the wand assembly. Pull the tool locking pin to
allow total engagement of the adapter and tool. Release
the pin to lock the tool to the wand.
4. The hand tools may also be used by inserting their adapter
directly into the free end of the vacuum hose.
5. Tool Selection: Choosing the proper tool will give the
best results. To vacuum dust and debris from floors or
walls-select the bristle floor tool. To remove water, liquid
waste, strip solution, etc. from hard surfaced floors-use
the squeegee floor tool. When vacuuming carpets or
rugs-choose the carpet tool.
