WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock, or injury:
• Do not leave the machine unattended when it is plugged in. Unplug the unit from the outlet when
not in use and before servicing.
• Never turn on the solution pump without fi rst connecting either the priming hose or your solution
hose to your machine and to your tool.
• Always turn off the pump and release the pressure in the pump before disconnecting hoses
• Never add water over 130° F/54° C to the solution tank.
• Always use chemicals or water with a pH between 5 and 10.
• Extension cords must be 12/3 and no longer than 50 feet. Replace the cord or unplug immediately
if the ground prong becomes damaged.
• To avoid electric shock, do not expose to rain or snow. Use and store indoors.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the machine is not working as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
• Do not pull by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around
sharp edges or corners. Do not run the machine over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated
surfaces. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle the plug, the cord, or the machine with wet hands.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair, and anything that may reduce air fl ow.
• Keep loose clothing, hair, fi ngers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, hot ashes, or any
health endangering dusts. Do not use to pick up fl ammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline
or use in areas where these liquids may be present.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.
• Liquid ejected at the spray nozzle could be dangerous as a result of its temperature, pressure, or
chemical content.

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.
PARTS AND SERVICE:
Repairs, when required, should be performed by your Servpro distributor who maintains an inventory of
original replacement parts and accessories. Call the distributor from whom you purchased this machine if
you need parts and service. Be sure to specify the machine model. Have your serial number handy.
DANGER: DO NOT USE SOLVENTS, OR ANY CHEMICALS
THAT MAY BE FLAMMABLE, EXPLOSIVE, OR COMBUSTIBLE.
