The Soap You Use Can Hurt Your Machine.
Some materials dissolve plastic, others
brass. The soap you use could abuse your machine in ways that the warranty will not cover. If in
doubt about what kind of soap to use, ask your Factory Cat dealer about Factory Cat Solutions.
For users of Factory Cat Solutions
, the vacuum motor (which is sensitive to high foam) will
be guaranteed for as long as our soap is continuously and exclusively used. If you would like to
know about Factory Cat "Solutions", please call us at 800 634-4060 for details.

Turn Knob Clockwise
To Reduce Flow
Solution flows from the righthand tank, through the screen that is at the bottom of it,
through a hose, through a variable-flow electrovalve, to a "tee" and then to each individual brush.
What goes wrong with this system:
1.
Dirt in the solution tank, or detergents in powder form that have not properly
dis
solved, can clog the screen inside the tank. You can unscrew this, remove it and
wash it off.
(Be careful, however, that particles not enter the plumbing below, or they can
clog the electrovalve).
2.
Hose pulled off the fixtures.
3.
Wire pulled off the electrovalve.
4.
Grit is inside the valve because the tank screen is missing or was damaged.
(Valve must be removed, dismantled, cleaned and reinstalled).
5.
Variable flow cable to electrovalve disconnected or broken. The electrovalve
varies flow by a screw at the back of the valve. The control panel knob (Item 12 on
Page 7) turns this screw via a "speedometer cable" that runs from the control panel
to the valve.
6.
Dashboard flow on/off switch is off. (Item 13 on page 7).
7.
Unequal Flow To Brushes. There is a flow equalizer on the left brush. Tighten or
loosen to increase/decrease flow to this brush.
Note that you can vary the flow output of the valve.
If when the dashboard control is
turned to maximum you do not have sufficient flow for your job, remove the dashboard stop screw,
and turn the dash knob clockwise one or two turns--until flow is adequate. Then reinstall the stop
screw.
Flow Equalizer is on
