Introduction

Introduction

INSPECTION

In short Unpack the new machine and check it for shipping damage. If you find any, contact KaiVac right away, and note that all returns need a Return Authorization Number (RAN).‌‌​⁠‍‍⁠‍‍‍⁠‍⁠‍⁠⁠‍‍⁠⁠​​​​​​‌⁠​​​‌​⁠​​‌⁠⁠⁠‍‍‍⁠‌‌‌‌‍⁠⁠⁠‌⁠‌‌​​‌​

Carefully unpack and inspect your new KaiVac cleaning machine for shipping damage. Each unit is tested and thoroughly inspected before shipping. For instructions regarding any shipping damage, contact KaiVac immediately. All returns must have a Return Authorization Number (RAN).‌‌​⁠‍‍⁠‍‍‍⁠‍⁠‍⁠⁠‍‍⁠⁠​​​​​​‌⁠​​​‌​⁠​​‌⁠⁠⁠‍‍‍⁠‌‌‌‌‍⁠⁠⁠‌⁠‌‌​​‌​

WARNINGS

  • DO NOT operate with a frayed, worn or damaged 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THE KAIVAC MUST BE GROUNDED. If it should malfunction or stop working, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current, thereby reducing the risk of electrical shock. The KaiVac is also supplied with a ground fault circuit interruptor (GFCI) to reduce danger of electric shock. It must be maintained and tested regularly. This unit is equipped with a cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted in an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Cutting off the ground wire or using a cord that is not equipped with a ground plug will void the warranty on the unit, and KaiVac will accept NO responsibility associated with the unit.

Improper connection of the equipment grounding connector conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you doubt the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the KaiVac. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Safety Precautions

Safety Precautions

In short This section lists the safety rules for using the KaiVac: get proper training, use it only as intended, and use a GFCI. It also covers wearing protective gear and keeping water away from building surfaces that are not water-safe.‌‌​⁠‍‍⁠‍‍‍⁠‍⁠‍⁠⁠‍‍⁠⁠​​​​​​‍​​​​‌​⁠​​‍⁠‌​⁠‌‌​​‍​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠‍‌⁠​‍

Equipment Warning

  • Read all instructions to ensure safe operation of the KaiVac.

Training

  • Proper training is required before using the KaiVac. Contact your authorized KaiVac distributor for training information.
  • Instruction placards are attached to each KaiVac and should not be removed. These placards show proper cleaning procedures and safety precautions.

Equipment Use

  • Do not use the equipment in a manner that it was not intended for by the manufacturer.
  • See 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 interruptor (GFCI) with the KaiVac at all times.
  • Test the GFCI before each use.
  • Do not spray liquid from the KaiVac onto electrical outlets or on any electrical devices.

Personal Protection –

  • Wear gloves, eye protection and ear protection when operating the KaiVac.

Prevention of Water Damage to Buildings

  • The KaiVac is to be used on water-resistant building surfaces only. These include concrete, terrazzo, ceramic tile and quarry tile.
  • The KaiVac may be used for stripping on vinyl-composite tile floors, but daily cleaning of resilient flooring using the KaiVac is not recommended.
  • Never overflow the water tank or the vacuum recovery tank.
  • Discontinue use if any leaks occur in the KaiVac.
CAUTION: Prior to cleaning, always inspect area to ensure that the surfaces to be cleaned are water-safe. In addition, check for poor construction, damaged walls and floors, missing or damaged tiles or grout, missing or insufficient caulk, and loose wall coverings. If problems are discovered, resolve them prior to cleaning in order to avoid any harm that may result from exposure to water or cleaning solution.

SAFETY

Chemical Use

In short This page lists safety rules for using the KaiVac. Use only approved chemicals, keep chemicals out of the water tank, and handle the power cord properly. It also lists ways to avoid damaging the pump and machine.‌‌​⁠‍‍⁠‍‍‍⁠‍⁠‍⁠⁠‍‍⁠⁠​​​​​​‍‌​​​‌​⁠​​‍‌⁠​‌⁠‌​​​⁠‍⁠‍​‌‍‌‍‌​⁠⁠​
  • Only use chemicals approved for use with the KaiVac. Use of non-Kaivac Will reduce warranty and may cause machine damage.
  • 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). Cleaning chemicals in the water tank can cause operator harm and machine damage because of the following:
    • 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

  • Do not pull the KaiVac 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.
  • DO NOT pull on the cord to unplug. Grasp the plug at the outlet and pull.
  • Turn off the unit before unplugging.
  • Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.

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.
  • Replace any damaged hoses before use.

Maintenance

Maintenance

In short This table lists what to check on each part of the machine, such as the squeegee, spray gun, hoses, filter, tanks, leaks, electrical system and DVD system. It tells you when to clean, empty, lubricate or replace items, and to stop using the machine if leaks are found.‌‌​⁠‍‍⁠‍‍‍⁠‍⁠‍⁠⁠‍‍⁠⁠​​​​​‌‍‌​​​‌​⁠​​‍‌‌⁠​‍⁠‍​⁠​⁠‌​⁠‍​‍‌‍‌‌‍‌
CAUTION Always make sure machine is unplugged before lifting electrical cover assembly
ItemProcedure
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.

FLOW DIAGRAM

Flow Diagram

In short This page is a flow diagram of the machine. It shows how water and chemical travel from the tanks, pump and injector to the spray gun, and how air and water return through the vac hose to the vac tank.‌‌​⁠‍‍⁠‍‍‍⁠‍⁠‍⁠⁠‍‍⁠⁠​​​​​‌⁠‌​​​‌​⁠​​⁠‌​​⁠⁠‌⁠​​⁠‌‌‌​⁠‌​⁠⁠​‍​​
Flow diagram of the machine. Chemical A and Chem B bottles with a safety cap and metering tip feed a chemical selector valve (A, B) and injector. Water from the water tank passes through the finger filter, water filter, suction line and pump, with discharge, return and unloader lines, to the quick disconnect and spray gun. Air and water come back through the vac hose into the vac tank with the float shut-off and standpipe, then to the vac motor and muffler in the base.
