 - FORM NO. 56041867 - SOLUS 500 B

INSPECTION:

Carefully unpack and inspect your SOLUS-500 for shipping damage.  Each machine is tested and inspected before shipping.  
Any shipping damage incurred is the responsibility of the carrier.  You should notify the carrier immediately if you notice dam-
age to the box or to the machine or parts.

CLEANING SOLUTIONS:

We recommend liquid cleaning chemicals.  Powder chemicals may be used, but unless mixed very thoroughly they could 
cause a build-up in the pump, lines, heat exchanger and/or quick disconnects.  Any problem caused by a chemical build-up is 
not covered by warranty.  Use a neutral cleaner with a pH between 5 and 10 to avoid premature wear of the pump, seals, and/
or other components.  Damage caused by the use of strong chemicals is not covered by the warranty.

MAINTENANCE:

For optimum performance 

fl

 ush the machine with clear water at the end of each working day.  Once a month, minimum, run 

fl

 ushing compound through the machine to break up any mineral or chemical build-up that may have formed.  The vacuum 

motor, pump motor, and the pump do not require any scheduled maintenance; however, the motors may require replacement 
brushes after 1000 - 1500 hours, and the pump and bypass valve may require rebuild kits after 1000 - 1500 hours, typically 
(refer to machine part list for numbers).  Clean the body with an all-purpose detergent, and protect it with an automobile inte-
rior polish.  Lubricate the wheels, castors, and quick disconnects with an all purpose silicone spray.

PARTS AND SERVICE:

Repairs, when required, should be performed by your authorized distributor who maintains an inventory of original replace-
ment parts and accessories.  Call the distributor from whom you purchased this machine if you need parts and service.  Be 
sure to specify the machine model.  Have your serial number handy.
