Servicing of Double-Insulated Appliances

A double-insulated appliance is marked with one or more of the following: The words "DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED" or the double insulation symbol ⛋. In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace.

Warning: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Preparing and Operating

For WET suction use:

1. Remove the motor head from the vacuum's body by lifting the two handles. [Image of vacuum head being lifted by handles]
2. Check to ensure the float valve can travel up and down freely and is not restricted.
3. Remove the HEPA filter.
4. Reinstall the motor head back onto the vacuum's body and secure into place.

Warning: Do not use if the machine is in a slope and not in horizontal direction.

For DRY suction use:

1. Remove the motor head from the vacuum's body by using the handles.
2. Ensure the HEPA filter is fitted correctly, clean, and not damaged. For replacement HEPA filter order model 713169. Contact Global Industrial Customer Service at 1-800-645-2986 or visit www.globalindustrial.com.
3. Reinstall the motor head back onto the vacuum's body and secure into place.

Warning: DO NOT use this machine for wet suction while HEPA filter is in place. Do keep the HEPA in place for Dry cleaning. Debris will come in contact with the motor directly, and can cause damage. Make sure the tank contains no water when it is used for dust suction.

General Operation:

1. Connect hose (F) into the air inlet of the vacuum, push until hose snaps into place.
2. Connect relevant cleaning accessories and extension wands (D) if required, to the end of the hose.
3. Insert power plug into wall receptacle.
4. Press power switch on.

Note: Empty tank and clean thoroughly after each use. This vacuum contains a float valve which protects the motor from water when the tank is full. When the dirty water reaches its maximum capacity, the float valve will interrupt the water suction, and the machine will make an unordinary sound. Stop the machine immediately and empty the tank. After use or when the tank is full, press the switch button off to stop the vacuum, and pull the power cord plug from the outlet. Remove the suction hose from suction hole, if it is necessary, also disconnect the squeegee. Move the machine to an appropriate draining location and empty dirty water (tilt tank carefully if needed). Clean thoroughly after each use.

Maintenance

Warning: Disconnect the power before any maintenance.

Periodically:

1. Lift the motor head and check whether the filter absorbed water from excess foam. If the filter contains water, remove and check to see if the motor head area contains water as well. If this occurs, leave unit open until motor head is completely dry, at which point it is acceptable to reuse. If needed, allow motor head to sit upright in a ventilated area for 24 hours to dry.
2. Check condition of HEPA filter and replace if needed. For replacement HEPA filters (model 713169) contact Global Industrial Customer Service at 1-800-645-2986 or visit www.globalindustrial.com.
3. Clean tank and all accessories thoroughly with a wet cloth.
4. Clean the float valve, make sure it can travel up and down freely and is not restricted.
5. Clean motor head with damp cloth, DO NOT allow water to touch the motor directly.
6. Remove the filter dust bag, empty and reattach.

Troubleshooting:

Transportation & Storage

• The machine must be operated, transported and stored upright.
• When transporting, remove all accessories and make sure all vacuum parts are secure.
