INTRODUCTION
INSPECTION
Carefully unpack and inspect your new KaiZen cleaning machine for shipping damage. Each unit is tested and thoroughly inspected before shipping. For instructions regarding any shipping damage, contact Kaivac, Inc. immediately. All returns must have a Return Authorization Number (RAN), which is available by calling the Kaivac, Inc. Customer Service Department.
WARNINGS
- DO NOT operate with a frayed, worn or damaged electrical cord.
- DO NOT use to pick up flammable or combustible materials.
- DO NOT run the pump without water in the water tank or without filter.
- DO NOT use hot water.
- DO NOT remove the float shutoff.
- ALWAYS test chemicals for compatibility on surfaces to be cleaned.
- ALWAYS winterize your Kaivac equipment between uses if it will be exposed to freezing temperatures.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
THE KAIZEN MUST BE GROUNDED. If it should malfunction or stop working, grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electrical current and reduces the risk of electrical shock. The KaiZen is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to further reduce danger of electric shock. It must be maintained and tested regularly. An equipment grounding cord and plug is included with the unit. The plug must be inserted in an appropriate outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Cutting off the ground wire or using a cord with an ungrounded plug will void the warranty on the unit, and Kaivac, Inc. will NOT accept responsibility for the unit.
Improper connection of the equipment grounding cord can result in the risk of electrical shock. Ask a qualified electrician or service person to check the outlet grounding if you are unsure. Do not modify the plug provided with the KaiZen. If it will not fit the outlet, have a properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Equipment Warning
- Read all instructions to ensure safe operation of the KaiZen.
Training
- Proper training is required before using the KaiZen. Contact your authorized Kaivac distributor for training information.
- Instruction placards are attached to each KaiZen and should not be removed. These placards show proper cleaning procedures and safety precautions.
Equipment Use
- Use the equipment for the purposes specified by the manufacturer. Do not use the equipment for any other purpose.
- See the S-I-M-P-L-E Operation section for proper use of the equipment.
Spray Gun
- Never point the spray gun at people.
Prevention of Electrocution
- Use the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) with the KaiZen at all times.
- Test the GFCI before each use.
- Do not spray liquid from the KaiZen onto electrical outlets or on any electrical devices.
Personal Protection
- Wear gloves, eye protection and ear protection when operating the KaiZen.
Machine Integrity
- Do not run the pump dry. This will void the machine warranty.
- Do not run hot water through the pump. This can cause pump cavitation and will void the warranty.
- Always be sure the water tank and water line filters are clear of debris. Running the pump with clogged filters can cause pump damage.
- Replace any damaged cords before use.
Winterize Your Kaivac Equipment
Your Kaivac machinery should be winterized between uses if it is to be exposed to freezing temperatures.
To winterize your machine:
- Pour 1/2 gallon of windshield wiper fluid into the empty water tank.
- Aim the spray gun into the water tank.
- Run the pump and spray the gun until the fluid begins running through.
Chemical Use
- Only use chemicals approved for use with the KaiZen. Use of non-Kaivac chemicals may cause machine damage and will reduce warranty periods.
- Turn chemical line off when not in use.
- Keep the appropriate chemical MSDS sheets on hand at all times.
- Cleaning chemicals should not be put in the water tank (with the exception of KaiDri in small amounts). Chemicals in the water tank can harm operator and machine because:
- Chemicals in the water tank must pass through the pump, which may cause premature pump failure.
- Use of chemicals in the water tank voids the warranty.
- Chemicals in the water tank will be aerosolized and may harm the operator.
Electrical
- Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.
- Do not pull the KaiZen by the cord or use the cord as a handle.
- Do not close a door on the cord or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners.
- Do not run over the cord.
- Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
- Turn off the unit before unplugging.
- Do not pull on the cord to unplug. Grasp the plug at the outlet and pull.
Prevention of Water Damage to Buildings
- The KaiZen is to be used on water resistant building surfaces only. These include concrete, terrazzo, ceramic tile and quarry tile.
- The KaiZen may be used for stripping on vinyl composite tile floors, but daily cleaning of resilient flooring using the KaiZen is not recommended.
- Never overflow the water tank or the vacuum recovery tank.
- Discontinue use if any leaks occur in the KaiZen.
Limited Warranty Protection Plan

MACHINE MAINTENANCE
| Item | Procedure |
|---|---|
| Floor Squeegee | * Check condition of rubber squeegee blades and wheels on the floor tool. Rough floor surfaces will cause the blades and wheels to wear out more quickly. Replace as necessary. |
| Spray Gun | * Check spray pattern. If spray pattern will not pinpoint, clean orifice by removing it with an Allen wrench and flushing. Replace if not pinpointing. * If nozzle becomes difficult to move from high to low pressure lubricate nozzle with lithium grease. |
| Pressure Hose | * Wipe clean after each use. * Check for cuts or frays in the hose jacket, particularly at the end of the fittings. Replace hose if cuts are found. |
| Water Filter | * Check filter screens for debris and clean as needed. Be careful not to crush the end of the filter screen when replacing. * Check the clear filter bowl cover to be sure it is tight. * Check for leaks around filter and filter connections. |
| Water Tank | * Check condition of filter in water tank. Clean as needed. * Empty the water tank to prevent mildew and bacteria growth. Empty tank by dipping the vacuum hose onto the water tank and transferring the water to the vacuum tank. |
| Vacuum Tank | * Empty and flush vacuum tank. * Clean and disinfect. * Check the float shutoff screen to be sure it is not plugged up. A plugged filter screen restricts airflow and results in reduced suction. |
| Leaks | * Be alert for leaks around hoses, fittings, spray wand, tanks or elsewhere. Discontinue use until leaks are repaired. |
| Electrical System | * The ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) must be tested before each use. * Electric cords must be inspected for tears or cuts in the insulation. |
| DVD System | * Make sure DVD player is dry and free of any debris placed on top or inside of storage compartment. |
