SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
EQUIPMENT WARNING
- Read all instructions to ensure safe operation of the KaiWhiz.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
-THE KAIWHIZ MUST BE GROUNDED. If it should malfunction or stop wprking, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current, thereby reducing the risk of electrical shock. The KaiWhiz 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 appropiate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordances. 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.
TRAINING
-Proper training is required before using the KaiWhiz. Contact your authorized KaiWhiz distributor for training information.
-Instruction placards are attached to each KaiWhiz 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 Groung Fault Circuit Interruptor (GFCI) with the kaiwhiz at all times.
- Test the GFCI before each use.
- Do not spray liquid from the KaiWhiz onto electrical outlets or on any electrical devices.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
- Wear gloves, eye protection and ear protection when operating the KaiWhiz.
PREVENTING WATER DAMAGE TO BUILDINGS
- The KaiWhiz is to be used on water-reaiatant building surfaces only. These include concrete, terrazzo, ceramic tile and quarry tile.
- The KaiWhiz may be used for stripping on vinyl-composite tile floors, but daily cleaning of reilient flooring using the KaiWhiz is not recomended.
- Never overflow the water tank of the vacuum tank.
- Discontinus use if any leaks occur on the KaiWhiz.

MACHINE PREPARATION
- Fill Kaiwhiz 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 and selecting proper metering tip.
- Check machine for all tools and supplies needed to complete task.
- Check all hoses and spray lines for damage prior to starting job. If damage is found do not continue until proper repairs are done.
- Test GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interupter) to insure it is working properly. You are now ready to operate your KaiWhiz.

MACHINE MAINTENANCE
| Area | 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 key and flushing. Replace if not pinpointing. * If nozzle becomes difficult to move from high to low pressure lubricate nozzle with a lithium grease. See Gun Lubrication procedure in manual. |
| Pressure Hoses | * 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 screens 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 into the water tank, and transferring the water to the vacuum tank. |
| Vacuum Tank | * Empty and flush vacuum tank. * Clean and disinfect. * Check the float shut-off 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 on the KaiWhiz. 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. |
