OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully unpack and inspect your machine for shipping damage. Each unit is tested and thoroughly inspected before
shipment, and any damage is the responsibility of the delivering carrier who should be notified.
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, do not expose to rain, store indoors.
Electric motors can cause explosions when operated near explosive materials or vapors. Do not operate this machine
near flammable materials such as solvents, thinners, fuels, grain dust, etc.
SPECIAL WARNING TO PURCHASER
Use of replacement filters not manufactured by Hako Minuteman, Inc. or its designated licensees, will void all warranties
expressed or implied. A potential health hazard exists without exact original replacement.
This machine is designated to operate on a standard 15amp 115 volt, 60 hz, AC circuit. Voltages below 105 volts AC or
above 125 volts AC could cause serious damage to the motor.
To protect the operator from electrical shock, this machine must be grounded while in use. This machine is equipped
with an approved three conductor power cord and grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Sketch A. Make sure that the machine is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter
should be used with this machine.
For equipment rated 150-250 volts: If the machine is provided with and attachment plug as shown in Sketch B, it is
intended for use on a 240 volt (nominal) circuit. No adapter is available for this plug.
If an extension cord is used, the wire size must be at least one size larger than the power cord on the machine and must
be limited to 25 feet in length. Extension cord must be three wire grounded.
Keep the motor intake cooling air screen clean. If this screen (on top of the motor) becomes clogged, it restricts the flow
of cooling air to the motor and will cause overheating.
No lubrication of the motor is required. Machine is equipped with sealed bearings.
For optimum performance, empty and clean filter bag regularly. A clogged and dirty bag restricts the flow of air and
results in reduced vacuum.
Check carbon brush periodically. Replace when worn down to approximately 1/2” in length.
For liquid pick up, remove the dry dust filter bag. Check the automatic shut off to be certain it is working properly.
Do not operate the machine without removing coiled electric cable from around the motor head so as to not restrict the
flow of exhausted cooling air and to prevent overheating.
Always unplug the machine when removing the motor head off the tank. This will prevent the accidental starting of the
motor and the possibility of fingers or objects getting into the unprotected impeller intake.
