GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
INSPECTION:
C
arefully unpack and inspect the PF85DX for shipping dam-
age. Each machine is tested and inspected before shipment.
Any damage incurred during shipping is the responsibility of
t
he carrier, who should be notified immediately.
OPERATION
Prior to each job, inspect the recovery tank inlet filter. The filter
should be thoroughly cleaned after each use. Do not operate
t
he machine without the filter in place, damage to the vacuum
motor and pump can occur.
1. Unscrew the discharge connector on the front of the machine.
Connect a standard garden hose to the discharge connector.
Place the opposite end of the hose outside or to a drain that
will handle large volumes of water.
CAUTION: Check hose connection regularly to make sure it is
securely fastened. The pump discharges water at high pres-
sure. If the hose should come loose, water in the hose will con
-
tinue to flow until the suction is decreased.
2. Attach a wand or hand tool to the intake hose.
3. Connect an extension cord to the pig tail on the back of the
machine and plug into a grounded circuit.
4. Turn the ON/OFF switch on the vacuum motors and pump to
the on position. Do not turn the vacuum motors on with the
hose submerged in water. The vacuum motor must have air-
flow for proper use.
CAUTION: Never turn the pump on before uncapping the dis-
charge fitting and connecting the hose. Failure to do so may
result in internal plumbing leaks and could damage compo-
nents. Do not let the pump run dry for long periods of time.
