OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INSPECTION
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 immediately. Read all
instructions carefully before operating.
WARNING
Model (X-1000) Dry Pickup Only, C80115-01, 02, 03, 04, C80130-01, 02, C80155-01, 02
Electrical shock could occur if used on wet surfaces. Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
Electrical 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.
WARNING
Model (MX-1000) Wet & Dry Pickup, C80215-01, 02, 03, 04
To avoid electric shock, do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
CAUTION
Hazardous materials must be disposed of properly. Never throw contaminated debris in your usual trash receptacle.
Place debris in a plastic bag or can marked “ HAZARDOUS MATERIALS” and take to a hazardous waste handler.
ELECTRICAL
This machine is designed to operate on a standard 15 amp. 115 volt, 60 hz, AC circuit. Voltages below 105 volts AC or
above 125 volts AC could cause serious damage to the motor.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 an 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.
EXTENSION CORDS
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.
MAINTENANCE AND USAGE
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.
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.
