Century WDV16 Vacuum Cleaner User Manual

This machine is a commercial vacuum designed for wet and
dry pick-up.
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.
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.
OPERATION
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.
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.
