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.
DAILY MAINTENANCE:
(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.
3. Examine carbon motor brushes and
commutator, replace or repair as necessary.
See page 8.
SERVICING THE FILTER:
The filter is accessed by lifting the head assembly
off the tank.
To remove the filter, pn 34193, loosen the black
knob, pn 48046, located in the center. This knob
should always be “finger tight”, don’t over-tighten.
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.
Allow the filter to dry after being used for wet pick-
up.
NOTE: 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.
GASKETS:
There are several gaskets in the Titan which must
have a good seal for the machine to operate
properly.
The gaskets on the vac motors should be replaced
together in the event that one wears out and begins
to leak.
The gasket inside the head assembly must contact
the tank all around. When repairing this gasket, pn
99862, apply glue to the ends and at the corners to
insure long life. Any instant adhesive which does
not attack ABS plastic will work, (CA40H by 3M or
equivalent).
There is a large gasket between the tank plate, pn
62307, and motor support/sound plate, pn 62370
(twin), pn 62371 (single). In the unlikely event this
gasket begins to leak, separate the two plates as
shown in the assembly drawing on page 9 and
remove the old gasket completely, then apply the
new gasket pn 35107 (both twin and single), taking
care to line it up correctly.
To replace the vac hose elbow gasket, pn 35103, it
will be necessary to remove the main cover and
loosen the nut which holds the elbow in place.
Always be sure the cover seats in the groove on the
elbow when putting it back on.
The gasket, pn 35066, located inside the filter cage,
pn 27240, must be in place to insure that no fluid
enters the vac motor if an over flow should occur.
