Pacific Steamex TRIUMPH 1190 Operating & maintenance instructions - Servicing

SERVICING
TRIUMPH self-contained extractors are designed and manufactured to provide years of trouble free service with a minimum of
maintenance and service. The following recommendations are intended to assist the operator and Service Technician in perform-
ing routine maintenance.
Failure to follow these recommendations can result in damage to your machine and diminished performance.
Warning: Always unplug your machine before performing any service. Severe personal injury could result if the electrical
power is not disconnected.
1.
Always follow through with the recommended prestart-
up checks found in the Preparation and Transportation
section of this manual.
2.
Store your machine in a dry, protected area with the
brush chassis raised and locked in place. Do not ex-
pose this machine to rain, standing water or freezing
temperatures.
3.
We recommend a good, thorough cleaning after each
use. Clean the dome top, intake filter screen and recov-
ery tank with fresh, clean water. Flush the fresh water
tank and strainer periodically with clean water.
4.
After continuous or repeated use, the jet tips and
strainer/check valves will need cleaning. Unplug the
cord and empty the recovery and solution tanks. Tilt
the machine backward allowing it to balance on the
wheels and drain valve. Remove the jet caps shown in
the brush chassis illustration and clean with white vin-
egar and a soft bristle brush. Remove the jet tip and
strainer/check valve and soak it in vinegar until visible
deposits are dissolved, then scrub with a soft bristle
brush.
Jet tips and strainer/check valves should be replaced
once a year because they tend to erode under
extended use. This can cause overuse of solution
and possible streaking.
AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER SHOULD PERFORM THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES
1.
Drive Belt Adjustment and/or Replacement: The
cogged drive belt system rarely needs tightening, so if
it becomes loose from wear, it is time to replace it. Fol-
low this procedure:
a)
Remove the two screws that attach the hanger
bracket to the brush shroud. Then remove the
thru-bolt from the brush chassis and lift handle.
Remove the lift handle and lift stop.
b)
Tilt the machine backward allowing it to balance
on the wheels and drain valve. The brush chassis
will remain on the floor exposing the brush drive
belt and motor.
c)
Loosen the two motor bracket mounting bracket
mounting bolts with a 7/16
″
wrench. DO NOT RE-
MOVE THE BOLTS UNLESS YOU ARE REPLAC-
ING THE MOTOR. Slide the motor away from the
brush to tighten the belt or toward the brush for
removal.
Unlike a “V” type belt, the cogged belt is run with basically
zero deflection. To test the belt tension, hold the belt be-
tween your thumb and forefinger and twist to the side. It
should turn approximately 90
°
with little effort. If it twists
more than 90
°
, retighten the belt.
2.
Pump Replacement:
a)
Remove the lift stop handle as described in the
“Belt Drive” procedure (#1a).
b)
Tilt the machine backward as described in the “Belt
Drive” procedure (#1b)
c)
Disconnect black wire (#2) and the white wire from
the bridge rectifier (part #A130172). Also discon-
nect the ground wire (this will need to be respliced
and reconnected to the ground wire on the brush
motor when reassembling). Reference the electri-
cal schematic.
d)
Remove the two hoses from the pump. It is now
fully exposed for replacement.
e)
When reassembling after any repairs, make certain
that all wire connections are properly plugged in
and secure.
f)
Make all solution hose connections secure.
