1.5 Battery Information
In short This section explains how to care for the Kaivac lithium-ion battery: store it at room temperature, expect capacity to fade over time, and recycle it properly when its life ends. It also lists the battery, charger and storage specifications.
Batteries and chargers: make sure your charger is compatible with your batteries, and set its charging algorithm to your battery pack before you use it.
Keep Batteries at Room Temperature: That means storing between 32 and 80 degrees F (0ºC to 27ºC). The worst thing that can happen to a lithium-ion Battery is to have it exposed to elevated temperatures.
Batteries Lose Capacity Over Time: Batteries naturally deteriorate over time whether being used or not. Batteries deteriorate at a rate of 10% run time per year.
Fully Discharge vs. Partial Discharge and the Effect on Battery Cycles: Unlike lead acid batteries typically used in auto scrubber, the Kaivac Battery is not damaged by fully discharging. The BMS (Battery Management System) has a cutoff voltage of 30V which protects the Battery from experiencing full discharge. Running the Battery to full discharge will reduce the amount of charge cycles. The expected hours of use are approximately 600 hours. For example, if running to full discharge, you would expect 400 cycles. If you run to 80% discharge, then you would expect to get more cycles (500 cycles).
Extended Storage: It is recommended to discharge to 40% capacity (35V) and store in a cool location (between 32ºF to 80ºF or 0ºC to 27ºC). Hour
Battery Gauge: The Kaivac Batteries come with a built-in Battery Gauge or “Fuel Gauge” which shows the approximate run time remaining.
Disposal: Properly dispose of Battery at a local recycling location.

2.2 Preparation For Use
In short This section lists the six checks to make before cleaning: fill the machine with water, set up the chemical line and metering tip, confirm tools and supplies, and use a foam inhibitor if needed. Then inspect the hoses and spray lines and test the GFCI after plugging in.
- Fill machine with clean, cool water.
- Prepare the cleaning solution you will be using by attaching the chemical feed line and cap to the top of your chemical bottle. Then select the proper metering tip. (See placard for metering tip information)
- Check machine for all tools and supplies needed to complete task. See Tool Arrangement in Section 2.2 of this manual.
- If using a cleaning product that foams, use a foam inhibitor to cut excess. Pour 2 capfuls of inhibitor in the Vac Hose with Vac running to coat inside of Hose.
- Check all hoses and spray lines for damage prior to use. If damage is found, do not continue until proper repairs are completed.
- Plug in machine and test GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) to ensure it is working properly. You are now ready.
