120 Volt Machine Instructions For Connection  
To The Power Supply And The Electrical Ground  
This machine must be connected to the electrical  
ground to protect the operator from electric shock.  
The machine has an approved power cord with three  
conductors and a plug with three terminals. Connect  
the plug to a receptacle that has three holes and is  
connected to the electrical ground. The green (or  
green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the  
ground wire. Never connect this wire to any terminal  
other than the ground terminal.

This machine uses a 120 volt AC 60 cycle electrical  
circuit. Make sure you have the correct frequency  
and voltage before connecting the power cord to an  
outlet. The machine has a plug as shown in Figure 1.  
If a receptacle connected to the electrical ground as  
shown in Figure 1 is not available, have one installed  
by an electrical contractor. Do not use an adapter.

OPERATION  
This machine is a commercial vacuum designed for wet and  
dry pick-up.  
L N  
Dry soil can be vacuumed directly into the tank. To empty the  
tank of dry soil, remove the top and dump into trash  
receptacle.  
For wet pick-up, remove polyester filter. The machine is  
equipped with a float shut-off. As the tank is filled to capacity,  
a float rises and seals the vac intake, causing loss of  
vacuum. Switch off the vacuum when this happens and bring  
the machine to a floor drain.

ELECTRIC DRAWING  
1 terminal block  
2 switch  
3 motor  
Use the convenient drain hose at the back of the vacuum to  
empty the tank.  
With both wet and dry applications be sure to frequently  
clean the filter. This is especially true when the vacuum is  
being used with strippers and wax.  
2
DAILY MAINTENANCE  
Caution: Strippers and some detergents produce foam  
which will damage the vac motors.The vac shut-off may  
not be sensitive to all foams. Be sure to check that the  
tank is not filling with foam. Use a defoaming agent to  
avoid pulling foam through vac motor. Should vac motor  
become wet, remove source of overflow and immediately  
run vac motor open to dry.  
3
At the end of each working day:  
1. After each use, rinse tank with fresh water.  
Periodically inspect the recovery tank and  
decontaminate if necessary, using a Hospital Grade  
Virucide or a 1:10 bleach to water solution. Waste  
water should be disposed of properly.  
2. Remove head assembly and allow tank to dry.  
3. Remove filters for cleaning or to allow to dry.  
4. Inspect hoses for wear. Frayed or cracked hoses  
should be replaced to avoid vacuum loss.  
5. Inspect power cord for wear. This cable will lay on wet  
surfaces. To prevent electrical shock replace cords with  
frayed or cracked insulation immediately.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE  
(Every six to twelve months):  
1. Check filter for wear, replace dirt saturated filters that  
do not respond to normal cleaning.  
2. Inspect gasket seals and replace those which have  
begun to leak.  
Replace both carbon  
brushes when either is  
less than 3/8" long. (PN S8TOEG845)  
3. Examine carbon motor brushes and commutator.  
SERVICING THE FILTER  
The filter is accessed by lifting the head assembly off the tank.  
Polyester filter is easily removed by simply lifting the filter basket out of the tank.  
Cartridge filters Remove the filter retainer by turning the black knob 90 degrees counter-clockwise.  
Cartridge filter will then slide off of float assembly.  
NOTE:  
Be sure to frequently clean the filter.  
Allow filter to dry after being used for wet pick-up.  
Filters used for wet pick-up including stripper must be thoroughly cleaned before being allowed to dry.  
Worn filters can affect vacuum performance. Replace the filter when it becomes worn out and normal cleaning  
will not restore vac performance.
