You should be fine, the lower hearing is protected pretty well from that stuff. It’s more the moisture from people storing the rainbow on a damp basin that does the damage. | ||

Leaving water sit in the basin for months or years = bad
If you get water backsplash in the motor, just take the motor off and lay it to drip-dry out the nearest opening and put a shop fan on it for a few hours. Will be fine. The motors are designed to be water resistant to a point to account for this very thing happening, or people overfilling it and getting the motor wet. These vacuums would have been banned years ago from people getting electrocuted or blowing up the motor if they didn't. Likewise the grease is made to be waterproof too in the same way the grease in kitchen mixers is made to be food-safe. I have a poor Rainbow D series that was used by a racing garage (one of the oddest places to have a rainbow) and the entire thing smells like gasoline or nitromethane, no idea how to get that odor out. | ||
