IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This machine is only suitable for commercial use, for example in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories,
shops and offices other than normal residential housekeeping purposes.
When using any electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
NOTE: Read all instructions before using this machine.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
•Do not leave the machine unattended when it is plugged in. Unplug the unit from the outlet when
not in use and before servicing.
•To avoid electric shock, do not expose to rain or snow. Store, and use, indoors.
•Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.
•Use only as described in this manual. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
•Do not use with damaged cord or plug. 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.
•Protect the cord. Do not: use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around
sharp edges or corners. Do not run the machine over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated
surfaces. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
•Do not handle the plug, the cord or the machine with wet hands.
•Extension cords must be 12/3 and no longer than 50 feet. Replace the cord or unplug immediately
if the ground prong becomes damaged.
•Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
•Keep loose clothing, hair, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
•Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes, or
any health endangering dusts. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as
gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.
•Turn off all controls before unplugging.
•Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.

INSPECTION:
Carefully unpack and inspect your FLOOD KING for shipping damage. Each machine is tested and
inspected before shipping. Any damage incurred during shipping 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.
MAINTENANCE:
Prior to each job, inspect the recovery tank pre-filters, the stainless steel in-line filters, the float, and the
drain hose to make sure every thing is clean and able to function properly. After each job, remove and
clean both the nylon mesh pre-strainer at the vacuum inlet and the stainless steel filters in the bottom of
the recovery tank. Unscrew the clear caps off the in-line filters (located under the recovery tank) and clean
the screens often. Pump damage may occur if the filters become clogged.
Check hose clamps regularly to make sure they are tight. The pump discharges water at high
pressure. If a hose clamp becomes loose, the hose could also come loose, or fall off of the hose barb, and
leak water into the base compartment.
Lubricate the wheels, castors, latches, and quick disconnects with an all purpose silicone spray. The
vacuums and the pumps do not require any scheduled maintenance; however the vacuum motors may
require new brushes after 1000 - 1500 hours. Clean the body with an all purpose detergent, and protect it
with an automobile interior spray protectant.

SET-UP:
Connect the vacuum/recovery hose to the vacuum inlet hose barb on the recovery tank. Connect the
dump hose to the hose fitting on the rear of the machine. Check filters. Put the lid on the
recovery tank. Plug the machine into a grounded outlet.
VACUUM OPERATION:
A switch is provided for each vacuum motor. The machine can operate with either one, or both, vacuum
motors running.
VACUUM SHUT-OFF:
When the recovery tank is full, the float system will shut off power to the vacuum motor(s) to prevent
water from entering the motor(s). The float may not work properly if it is extremely dirty or if there is
foam in the tank. Use a defoamer any time foam is present. Once the tank has emptied sufficiently, the
vacuums will come back on automatically.
PUMP OPERATION:
Always be sure to uncap the pump-out fitting and connect the dump hose before turning the pumps on.
Failure to do so may result in blown hoses or loose fittings; water will damage motors and switches.
The two diaphram pumps on your Flood King work together. When you turn the pump switch on, both
pumps will run, and they will continue to run until you turn them off. Do not let the pumps run dry for
extended periods of time.
