GENERAL INFORMATION

 Now that the machine is unpacked remember to
recycle all packing materials.
 Inspect the machine for damage or missing
components. If damage is found, contact the local
freight company to file a freight claim.
ASSEMBLY
COLT 1050
The transport handle needs to
be installed prior to using this
machine. Insert the handle into
the tank as shown, use (4) four
3/8-16 x 1 1/4 oval head
Phillips Machine Screws to
secure the handle.
INSTALLING HOSE COUPLING
Colt 1050 and Colt-Ranger 1450 Machines
 Slide the button on the left side of the intake to the
left, then, insert the larger diameter end, of the
hose coupling into the intake opening until it stops.
Release the button. To remove; slide the button to
the left, grasp the coupling and pull.
Colt and Ranger 1250 Machines
 Push in on the plunger pin, on the left side of the
intake, then, insert the larger diameter end, of the
hose coupling into the intake opening until it stops.
Release the plunger pin. To remove; push in on
the plunger pin, grasp the coupling and pull.
Attaching Various Hoses
Hose cuffs may be difficult to attach when new. To
ease installation, you may have to run the hose cuff
under HOT tap water for 2 to 3 minutes to soften the
hose cuff.
Squeegee Hose
 Both hose cuffs are the same diameter; using
either end, slip a hose cuff on to the coupling at the
62 dB(A)
front of the machine.
Super Flex hose with Swivel cuff for use with a wand
 The end of the hose with the larger diameter cuff is
69 dB(A)
attached to the hose coupling by sliding it on. The
opposite end with the cuff that is smaller in
diameter and movable is attached to the wand.

MACHINE OPERATION

With the switch in the off position, plug the electrical
cord into an approved outlet (See page 2). To turn
the machine on, flip the switch located on the front
side of the machine.
 When using the wand with the squeegee tool on
floors, the operator should drop his / her arm
slightly to allow air to enter the front edge of the
tool on the forward stroke. On the backward stroke
the operator should raise his / her arm slightly to
allow the back edge of the tool to clear the floor.
This method gives the air a chance to do the work
in the most effective manner.
 The operator should make strokes at a leisurely
pace and at a length that feels the most natural.
 Always work away from the machine, pulling the
machine behind you.
Dry Pick Up
 Clean or replace the filter bag when suction is
reduced.
For bare floor or carpet:
 Choose the proper wand and tool
 Use a paper bag to make disposal easier.
Wet Pick Up
The Micro Filter Assembly, HEPA Assembly, or Filter
Bag may be used when picking up liquids. The Filter
Bag helps prevent debris and foam from being pulled
into the vacuum motor and fans, causing motor
damage and possible failure.
The motor will speed up and sound different when
the airflow is closed off.
As the liquid level rises the built-in float will be
activated, when the liquid reaches the bottom of the
float the float will close off the airflow only, not the
vacuum motor.
The built-in float will not be activated by foam.
NSS recommends that you always use a defoamer
agent along with low foaming chemicals diluted
according to manufacturer's specifications. If the
vacuum motor is flooded with liquids or foam
immediately turn the motor OFF.
HEPA Units - Dry Pick Up
The HEPA and the Micro Filter Assemblies must be
used to maintain HEPA level filtration. Clean or
replace the Micro Filter discs (3), and the filter bag
when suction is reduced.
Replace the HEPA Filter (complete box) when
suction is reduced.
