1.3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS—SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, read operating instructions carefully before using.
WARNING: Risk of injection or injury to persons – do not direct discharge stream at persons.
WARNING RISK OF ELECTROCUTION:
Connect to a properly grounded outlet. Do not remove ground pin.
Inspect cord before using – do not use if cord is damaged.
Keep all connections dry and off the ground.
Do not touch plug with wet hands.
This product is provided with a ground fault circuit interrupter built into the power cord. If replacement of
the plug or cord is needed, use only identical replacement parts.
Test the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) before each use.
Do not close a door on the cord or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not spray liquid from the Kaivac onto electrical outlets or on any electrical devices.
Turn off the unit before unplugging.
Do not pull on the cord to unplug. Grasp the plug at the outlet and pull.
Grounding Instructions:
THE KAIVAC MUST BE GROUNDED. If it should malfunction or stop working, grounding provides a path of least re-
sistance for the electrical current and reduces the risk of electrical shock. The Kaivac is equipped with a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) to further reduce danger and risk of electric shock. It must be maintained and tested regularly.
An equipment grounding cord and plug is included with the unit. Cutting off the ground wire or using a cord with an
ungrounded plug will void the warranty on the Kaivac.
Improper connection of the equipment grounding cord can result in the risk of electrical shock. Ask a qualified electri-
cian or service person to check the outlet grounding if you are unsure. Do not modify the plug provided with the Kaivac.
If it will not fit into the outlet, have a properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING: When using this product, basic precautions should always be followed, including the fol-
lowing:
Read all the instructions before using the product.
To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when a product is used near children.
Know how to stop the product and bleed pressures quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
Stay alert – watch what you are doing.
Do not operate the product when fatigued or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Keep operating area clear of all persons.
Do not overreach or stand on unstable support. Keep good footing and balance at all times.
Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible materials.
Follow the maintenance instructions specified in the manual.

2.1 PREPARING YOUR KAIVAC FOR USE
1. Fill machine with clean, cool water.

using by attaching the chemical feed line
and cap to the top of your chemical bottle
and selecting the proper metering tip. (See
placard for metering tip information)
3. Check machine for all tools and supplies
needed to complete task. See “Tool
Arrangement” in Section 2.2 of this manual.
4. If using a cleaning product that has high
foaming use a foam inhibitor to cut down on
foam. Pour 2 capfuls of inhibitor in the vac
hose with vac running to coat inside of hose.
5. Check all hoses and spray lines for damage
prior to use. If damage is found, do not
continue until proper repairs are completed.
6. Plug in machine and test GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) to ensure it is
working properly. You are now ready.

2.3 VAC TANK & HOSE CLEANOUT INSTRUCTIONS
3. Vac hose can now be wrapped onto machine.
Leave vac motor running while wrapping to avoid
water dripping from end of hose. To completely
dry hose leave vac motor running for about 3
minutes.
4. With Dump Hose opened to floor drain, spray
inside of vac tank with clean water moving hose
in a circular pattern to insure tank walls and float
shutoff are rinsed.
1. Unwrap vac hose and lay it on floor.
2. Suck water and air from water tank.
Lower hose end to surface of water
gulping both air and water. This
action flushes soils from line and
quickly empties water tank.
