IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This machine is only suitable for commercial use, for example in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops, and offi ces. The Advantage 1200 is not intended for normal residential housekeeping purposes. NOTE: Read all instructions before using this machine. When using any electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following warnings FORM NO. 56041937 - SERVPRO 879 3 Serial Number: __________________ Model: #879 ADVANTAGE 1200 Purchase Date:_____________ Write the name and phone number of your distributor: _____________________________ _______________________________________ INSPECTION: Carefully unpack and inspect your 879 for shipping damage. Each machine is tested and inspected before shipping. Any shipping damage incurred is the responsibility of the carrier. You should notify the carrier immediately if you notice damage to the box, the machine, or its parts. CLEANING SOLUTIONS: We recommend liquid cleaning chemicals. Powder chemicals may be used, but unless mixed very thoroughly they could cause a build-up in the pump, lines, and quick disconnects. Any problem caused by a chemical build-up is not covered by warranty. Use a neutral cleaner with a pH between 5 and 10 to avoid premature wear of the pump, seals, and/or other components. It is a good idea to test an inconspicuous area of the fl oor. MAINTENANCE: For optimum performance fl ush the machine with clear water at the end of each working day. Once a month, minimum, run a fl ushing compound through the machine to break up any mineral or chemical build- up that may have formed. The vacuum motor and the pump do not require any scheduled maintenance; however, the motor may require replacement brushes after 1000 - 1500 hours. Clean the body with an all-purpose detergent, and protect it with an automobile interior polish. Lubricate the wheels, castors, and quick disconnects with an all purpose silicone spray.
