SETTING UP THE MACHINE BEFORE 
OPERATION:

1.  Position the machine on a dry place away from the 

flooded area. Lock in the casters so that machine does  

not change position during operation. 

2.  Connect your discharge hose (#2 on page 5) to the 

discharge hose hookup on the machine (#13 on page 

6). 

3.  Position the end of the discharge hose in a safe drain-

age location. Check local laws and regulations for 

proper waste water disposal.

4.  Make sure the debris basket with gasket (#3 on page 

4) is in place before you position the lid (#1 on page 4) 

on the tank. Without the debris basket in position, the 

vacuum motor will not create suction. 

5.  Make sure to tuck the lip on the lid under the metal 

bracket 

6.  Turn the lid locking latch to the closed position. 

7.  Check on the drain valve and make sure it is fully 

closed position. 

8.  Connect your vacuum hose (#1 on page 5) to the    

vacuum intake barb (#2 on page 6).  

IMPORTANT:

To ensure a secure lock on the lid:

1.  Make sure the lip on the lid is tucked under the metal  

bracket.          

2.  Pivot the lid locking latch (#5 on page 4) over the lid.  

Note: To prevent the lid from being lost, 

the above steps should also be followed when 

transporting the equipment, especially in open air ve-

hicles or trailers.
