1. The first step is to identify the different pads.

2. Cleaning Pads used in combination: The two combinations below can be used for hard scrubbing cleaning jobs or fine polishing cleaning jobs.

16

NOTE – Cleaning Carpet. Use of the Prolux AllVac with waxing/polishing/scrubbing nozzle for carpet cleaning is not intended for prolonged use. It can only be used for small jobs and spot cleaning. To do so one pad and fine polishing seat must be totally removed and the Floor Polishing/Lint pad must be added to the one remaining. In this manner it may be used for spot cleaning carpet and rugs. If the unit powers off during use that means the motor has over worked and turned off to protect itself and carpet cleaning must be stopped immediately or the warranty will become void. Connecting the “Fine Polishing Seat” and the “Rough Polishing Nylon Brush” to the Unit. Hold the above mentioned discs and make them align with the special section hole of the gear of the waxing head. After being lined up, as shown in the image below press the discs until you hear a clicking sound. If you need to remove the discs you just need to pry discs off in backwards order that you put them on.

17

With the pads attached to the waxing/polishing/scrubbing nozzle it is now time to attach the nozzle to the vacuum cleaner as shown in the image below. To do this align the elbow of the waxing/polishing/scrubbing nozzle to the installation hole to the main body and insert down until you hear a “click”. If you need to take off the waxing/polishing/scrubbing nozzle press on the locking block release button and pull off.

When user is at the step to plug cord into wall outlet always make sure unit is in upright locked position.

With the waxing/polishing/scrubbing nozzle there are 2 cleaning states. Waxing/polishing/scrubbing only and waxing/polishing/scrubbing PLUS vacuuming. When the ON/OFF switch is turned to the first position it will only be waxing/polishing/scrubbing with no vacuum suction. When the ON/OFF switch is turned to the second position it will be waxing/polishing/scrubbing AND vacuum suction through the 2 suction holes as shown in the image below.

NOTE – The Prolux AllVac in waxing/polishing/scrubbing mode is not designed to suck or vacuum up water or liquids but only dry suction. When using the spraying application make sure the suction of the vacuum is not turned on.

How to use for Waxing or Wet Application in spraying mode: As shown in the image below when the switch is pressed the indicator light comes on and then the liquid spray or wax sprays out of the unit and onto the floor. By pressing the button ON it will spray right away. Then as the button is left ON it will spray automatically every so often (in seconds). To turn off the spraying feature push the button again and the indicator light will turn off and it will not spray anymore. This is a great feature for use in waxing and scrubbing floors and tile cleaning.

NOTE- Different floor surfaces have different resistance on the pads. So in this mode there will

22

be different heating conditions on the motor. It is suggested that the unit not be used more than 30 minutes in this mode to keep the motor cool and dependable. Solution tank may be filled with liquid wax or other liquid cleaning detergents. To add solution to the solution tank unscrew the lid and add up to 2.7 Fluid Ounces.

NOTE- For liquid waxing applications please follow the manufacturer instructions on the wax you are using and the floor you are treating. In most cases waxing is applied with Polishing Nylon Brush, allowed to dry for 15 minutes and then buffed with fine cloth pad (Floor Polishing Lint Pad). If you are using a cleaning detergent the same applies please follow manufacturer instructions of cleaning detergent and floor surface.

Emptying the Dust bin- When the dust bin is full of dirt and ready to be emptied the first step is to turn the unit off. When this is done press the button shown by the arrow below and lift the dust bin off and away from the rest of the vacuum.

29

Then holding the dust bin over a garbage sack or garbage container release the latch shown below.

30

That latch will release and the door will open up. Shake or gently tap the dust bin so all of the dirt and dust will fall out and into the garbage. Then snap the door back into place and put the dust bin back on the vacuum.

31

3. Grab the dust cup handle and rotate it counter clockwise to pull out the wind shield.

4. Clean the 2 parts as shown in the image above. When there is hair in these parts it is especially suggested to clean as to improve suction performance of the vacuum.

5. Remove the top of the dust bin to gain access to the filter. 6. Clean the filter by rinsing it in warm water only. Pat and air dry. When filter is all the way

dry then reinstall it.

7. Then put all the parts of the dirt bin back together by reversing the steps shown above.

32

Cleaning the Vacuum Brushroll - 1. Power off the unit and remove the vacuum brush attachment. 2. Turn the vacuum brush attachment upside down as shown in the image below. 3. With a flat head screw driver turn the release screw and remove the bottom plate. 4. Pull the brushroll out. 5. Disengage the belt and remove the brushroll from the Vacuum Brush and clean the brushroll

and surrounding area. Especially take care to remove any hair or string from this area and the end of the brushroll.

Troubleshooting- Waxing/polishing/scrubbing nozzle does not rotate – Make sure cord is plugged into live outlet, power button is turned on and handle is released to angle as shown in this manual. If still does not turn on check for reset switch on the unit to be pressed. Sharp friction sound during waxing – Debris is in the cleaning pads (which can cause scratching on certain surfaces). Stop unit, unplug from wall, and clean pads. During waxing/polishing/scrubbing nozzle mode unit turns off - Motor is being over worked. Change brushes to least resistant brush type (Cloth Polishing Lint Pad has least resistance), or remove one cleaning disc or quit cleaning surface that causes motor to over heat. Suction decreases – Clear hose of any clogs. Unsnap hose and clean hose out where it enters the back of the vacuum.

33

Maintenance & Storage- After finished cleaning: Unplug power cord from outlet. Wipe down and clean the the unit with a soft cloth. Store upright in a protected, dry area. Carefully remove mop pads and clean for next use. IMPORTANT – Always empty the solution in the solution tank then add water to the solution tank and spray water out for 30 to 60 seconds. This is important because some liquid waxes and cleaning detergents can dry out when unit is in storage and cause the pump to be clogged for next time. Cleaning solution out and running water through the unit before storage can cure this problem. WARRANY INFORMATION- Warranty Information for the Prolux AllVac
