Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Use: Wipe down the head assembly and the vacuum housing to remove dust, debris, and moisture that could trap dirt and accelerate wear.

• Check Seals & Gaskets: Inspect any rubber seals or gaskets on the top head for cracks or hardening — replace worn seals to maintain suction and prevent leaks.

• Inspect Electrical Components: Ensure switches, cord entry points and wiring connections are secure and free from damage; loose connectors can cause poor performance or safety issues.

• Tighten Fasteners: Periodically check and snug mounting screws and bolts that secure the head assembly to the tank — loose hardware can cause vibration or misalignment.

• Dry Thoroughly Before Storage: Moisture left inside the head assembly can promote corrosion; allow components to dry fully before long‑term storage.
