OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS
To operate this machine follow these procedures:
1.Position the CAV 26 in a convenient location near a wall outlet and within reach of the working area. If the surface is not level, set the brakes on the casters.
CAUTION: Do not use an extension cord with the CAV 26 or you will experience a loss in performance. Should an extension cord be necessary, use one sized 12 AWG and no longer than 50' in length. An extension cord sized smaller than 12 AWG or greater than 50' in length will overheat and potentially cause a fire.
2.Connect the CAV 26 to a wall outlet matching one of the two shown in figure 5. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.
WARNING: This appliance must be grounded. Should an electrical malfunction occur, the grounding conductors provide a path to harmful current. Do not connect this appliance to any other wall outlet than one of those shown in figure 5. Consult an electrician if there is reason to doubt that the wall outlet is not wired correctly. Do not remove the grounding pin on the power cord. Do not use this appliance with a damaged power cord or plug.
3.The CAV 26 uses three individually activated vacuum motors that allow tailoring the delivery for the available electrical supply and application.
For Light Duty Applications:
Activate one of the three vacuums. To activate a vacuum motor, push one of the three vacuum motor switches (see figure 6). To deactivate the vacuum motor, push the vacuum switch a second time.
For Heavy Duty Applications or Multiple Simultaneous Users:
Activate two of the vacuum motors if you are connected to a 15A wall outlet. You may activate all three vacuum motors if you are connected to a 20A wall outlet.
WARNING: Do not activate all three vacuum motors if you are connected to a 15A wall outlet or you will overload the circuit. An overloaded circuit will overheat and potentially cause a fire. Always deactivate the vacuum motor(s) before disconnecting the power cord.
