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.

MANUAL - VAC Rev. 12/19/05
SECTION 1
Introduction
INSPECTION
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
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.
Chemical Use
- 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.
Limited Warranty Protection Plan

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. |
