WARNING
Hazardous to your health
Avoid contact with water draining
from the pump
• Water is pressurized and may exit
the unit with force.
• Water may contain chemicals or
contaminants that can be a health
hazard upon contact.

Setup
Connect the vacuum recovery hose to the vacuum inlet on the recovery tank
(see Figure #1). Connect the drain hose to the drain hose/pumpout connec-
tion on the rear of the machine (see Figure #2). Put the pre-filter over the
vacuum inlet located in the upper right hand corner inside the recovery tank--
just cinch it on. Put the lid on the recovery tank. The recovery hose is for per-
forming a manual dump; draining the recovery tank without the use of the
diaphragm bilge pumps (using gravity flow only).
Connecting the
drain hose.
Check hose clamps before use to make sure they are tight. If a hose clamp
becomes loose, high pressure water may force a hose off spraying water into a
structure or onto the machine's components.
Turning the unit on
There is a switch for each vacuum motor. For optimal operation, turn on both
Vacuum #1, and Vacuum #2. The machine can operate with either one or
both vacuum motors running.
Vacuum Shut-Off:
The float system will automatically shut off power to the vacuum motors
when the recovery tank is full. This prevents water from entering the motors.
When the recovery tank becomes excessively dirty, or there's foam in the
tank, the float may not work properly. Be sure to keep the tank clean, and
use a defoamer any time foam is present.
If the unit does automatically shut-off the vacuums, empty the tank and the
vacuums will come back on automatically.
Operating the Pump
Remove the pump-out cap and connect the drain hose before turning the pumps on.
Failure to do so may result in blown hoses, loose fittings, or water on the motor and
switches.
There are 2 diaphragm pumps on your Flood King DX. These work together
and run simultaneously. Both pumps will engage when you turn the pump
switch on, and will continue to run until you turn them off. It is not recom-
mended to run the pumps dry for any period of time.

AINTENANCE
Prior to each use
Inspect the following to ensure they're clean and able to function:
• all filters (pre-filter, inline filters, tank filters)--pump damage may occur if
filters become clogged
• the float--it can become clogged with debris, impairing its ability to
function
• the drain hose--make sure the passage is clear so that water can flow
• check all hose fittings--look for cracks, debris, etc. anything that could
impact its ability to create a good seal or contain water.
