MAINTENANCE
Besides those outlined above, all additional servicing and repairs
should only be performed by an
Authorized Tornado Servicing Agent.
Recommended operator checks prior to use:
Prior to performing any maintenance, ensure unit
is OFF and disconnected from power supply.
To receive reliable service from this equipment, regular daily maintenance
is a requirement. Fabric cleaning, both carpet and upholstery, are very dirty
environments for any equipment. The following recommendations are offered.
1. Keep the equipment clean, both inside and out.
2. Lubricate brass quick disconnects with a quality lubricant such as WD-40®.
3. Flush solution systems after use with clear, clean water. A white vinegar solution
may also be used. This will counter-act hard water and alkaline deposits and aid in
keeping orifices clean.
4. Do not allow fluid either in solution or recovery tank to sit overnight. The unit
should be emptied and cleaned daily.
5. Clean the strainer in the solution tank (Fig. 4) daily.
6. Do not use the same receptacle (pail) to fill solution tank that has been used to
remove waste water from recovery tank.
7. When the unit is not in use, leave the tank lids open.
8. At the end of each day, run the vacuum for 3 minutes with lid open.
