11. Remove the strainer basket from the waste
tank, clean out any accumulated debris, and re-
install. Inspect the vacuum inlet filter inside the
waste tank. If there is any lint or debris, remove
and clean filter.
NOTE: When removing the vacuum inlet
filter, grip the plastic hexagonal section of filter.
Grasping filter by the screen may collapse or
ruin the filter. Re-install the filter hand-tight.
NEVER operate this unit with this filter removed,
damaged or improperly installed.
NOTE: When replacing this filter, we recommend
using the stainless steel PROCHEM filter
(Part #14-806518 for PERFORMER, #14-806509
for PERFORMER 405) only.
12. At the end of your work day, rinse out the waste
tank with fresh water. DUO Deodorizer may be
added to the waste tank to inhibit the growth of
bacteria.
13. Clean the unit, tools, hoses, van interior, etc., as
needed. Inspect ALL equipment for any
damage, wear, leaks, etc.
FREEZING PROTECTION
If the unit is exposed to freezing weather the
water in the unit may freeze, causing SERIOUS
DAMAGE to the unit. To avoid this, the following
is recommended during the cold weather
season:
When the unit is not in use, always park it in a
heated building.
While in operation, avoid long shutdowns as the unit
provides heat while running. Shut it down just prior
to leaving for the next job.
If a heated building is not available, we recommend
that you winterize the unit with anti-freeze. At
present, it is only possible to winterize units, which
do not have an auxiliary water tank. Units with
auxiliary water tanks must be stored in a heated
building when not in use.
ADDING ANTI-FREEZE TO YOUR UNIT
1. Shut off the water supply. Disconnect the water
inlet hose from the front of your console.
2. Connect all high pressure hoses and tools
that may have water in them.
3. Start the unit and turn water pump on. Open the
tool valve until water pressure drops and water
stops flowing.
4. Fill the water box with approximately two gallons
of 100% glycol base anti-freeze.
5. Close the heat bypass valve by turning the
knob all the way clockwise.
6. Turn the water pressure override switch to the
override position and start the unit. Turn the
water pump switch ON.
7. Open the tool valve until anti-freeze begins to
come out of the tool. Recover ALL anti-freeze
that comes out of the tools into an approved
container. We strongly recommend that you re-
cycle and re-use the anti-freeze.
Repeat this procedure with all the remaining
tools. After all tools and pressure hoses have
been filled with anti-freeze, disconnect and store
them.
8. Turn the water pump switch OFF. Attach the
winterizing loop hose with attachment, Part
#10-805380, to the solution outlet connection
and the water inlet connection. Turn the water
pump switch ON.
Allow the unit to run for approximately 3 minutes
with the winterizing loop hose attached.
