GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This piece of equipment must be grounded. Should an 

electrical malfunction occur, grounding provides a path 

of least resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk 

of electric shock. This piece of equipment is furnished 

with a cord that has a grounding conductor and ground-

ing plug. The grounded plug must only be plugged 

into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and 

grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi-

nances.

WARNING:

Connecting the equipment to an improperly grounded 

outlet can result in an increased risk of electric shock. A 

qualified electrician should be consulted if you are un-

sure that the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify 

the plug provided with the equipment. If it will not fit 

the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified 

electrician.

This appliance is designed for use on a 120-volt circuit. 

The grounding plug provided looks like the plug illus-

trated in Figure 1. Replace the power cord if the ground-

ing pin is damaged or broken.

Extension cords connected to this machine should be 

12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and 

outlets.  DO NOT use extension cords more than 25 feet 

(7.6 m) long.

DAILY MAINTENANCE: 

The FLOODBUSTER FB50 is engineered and built to

ing condition. Careful attention to these maintenance 

instructions will give you maximum operating perfor-

mance and life expectancy of the machine. 

CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord from the out-

let before doing any clean up or maintenance on the 

machine

1.  Keep the equipment and accessories, inside and out, 

clean and dry including lid, filter strainer, waste tank, 

hoses.

2.  Vacuum motor: It is very important that the vacuum 

motor is internally free of moisture when not used. 

Run the vacuum motor with the lid and hose off for 

3 minutes after every operation. 

3.  Pump motor: Periodically hose off the surface of the 

pump so that no debris may remain on the surface 

and opening of the pump. Such debris may cause 
pump damage in time.
