Tim C says - "You need to use a defoamer whenever you're recovering liquids with this vacuum, especially if you're stripping floors or dealing with any type of slurry solution. Failure to use a defoamer can cause the seal plate on the end of the ball float to become so hot that it starts to melt and weld itself to the bottom of the vac motor assembly. This prevents the seal plate from dropping back down when the recovery tank is emptied, resulting in a blockage and total loss of suction. Replacing the seal plate requires disassembling the entire vacuum, which voids the warranty. So, to reiterate, we always recommend using a defoaming product in any water recovery scenario with this vacuum."
Maintenance Tips
Use defoamer with each use, either by pouring directly into the recovery tank or by sucking a few ounces up through the front mount squeegee or through the handheld tools.
Before & after each use, make sure the ball float is moving freely.
Wipe down the squeegee blades after each use to avoid build-up and remove any chemicals still on the blades. Many chemicals if left on a squeegee can cause warping or deterioration.
Empty out & clean the machine after each use.
