Edic FLOODBUSTER FB50, Owner'S/Operator'S Manual

OPERATION OF THE MACHINE:

1.  Turn on both vacuum and pump switches. Vacuum 

motor will turn on immediately and start pulling    

water inside the tank.  The pump will not start dis-

charging water until a certain level of water is reached 

and the float switch is activated. 

2.  For deep flooding, you may submerge the end of the 

vacuum hose directly into the flooded area. Continue 

extracting until the flooding is low enough to use the 

appropriate hard floor or carpet tool. 

3.  For hard floors, attach the squeegee head to the wand 

and vacuum hose. Use the wand to recover as much 

fluid as possible.

4.  For carpets, connect the scallop tool to the wand and 

vacuum hose. Use scallop tool and wand to recover as 

much fluid as possible.

5.  Continue the operation until the task is complete. 

Note: 

During operation, it is normal for both the 

vacuum motor and pump are designed to start and stop 

automatically as the float switches regulate the level of 

water in the tank.
 

AFTER OPERATION:

1.  remove the hoses and run the vacuum motor for a 

minimum of three minutes with only air moving 

through the system. Doing so will ensure all mois-

ture is removed from the vacuum system. Residual 

moisture in the system may damage the vacuum 

motor. 

2.  Turn off the switches and unplug the power cord 

from the machine power inlet and also from the wall 

power outlet.

3.  Dump the water remaining in the tank after opera-

tion.

4.  Rinse the tank with clean water.

5.  Drain the tank completely.

6.  Detach the hoses from the machine.
