120VAC GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANGER!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in Figure 1 below. A temporary adapter illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can
be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, tab, or the like extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. Grounding adapters are not
approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire
must be attached to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong
plugs and outlets. DO NOT use extension cords more than 50 feet (15 m) long.

OPERATION
1Inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tools for cleanliness and completeness.
2Fill the solution tank with water. Using warm water may be a benefit in cleaning
effectiveness, but do not use hot water (above 140°F / 60°C) in the tank.
3Plug in the power cords. Do not connect both cords to the same outlet; the circuit locator
light on the switch plate should light up. If the locator light does not come on, try different
outlets until it does. If you are certain the cords are on separate circuits, turn the heat
switch on. CAUTION: using the heat switch when the cords are on the same circuit may
cause the breaker to trip. NOTE: the cord with the red sleeve powers the heat exchanger.
4Connect the priming hose to the machine, turn the pump on and prime the air out of the
pump. When the water is clear (no air in it) turn the pump off and remove the priming hose.
Priming may take 20 - 60 seconds.
5Add liquid cleaning solution, with a pH of between 6 and 9, to the solution tank
6Attach the spray hose to the solution quick disconnect and the vacuum hose to the hose
barb on the recovery tank. Attach the other ends of the hoses to the cleaning tool.
7Allow the heat exchanger two minutes to reach operating temperature.
8Turn the pump on. Select carpet or upholstery. Turn the vacuum on.
9Begin cleaning using the correct hoses and tool.
10 Use defoamer in the recovery tank any time foaming occurs.
11 Monitor water level in the solution tank. Do not let the pump run dry.
12 When the solution tank gets low, turn the pump and the vacuum off, fill the solution tank,
empty and clean the recovery tank.
13 When finished with the job, remove any unused solution from the solution tank, and run a
few gallons of clean water through the system.
BALL FLOAT VACUUM SHUT-OFF
Prior to using the machine, always check that the float filter is clean and the ball can travel freely.
When the recovery tank is full, the ball float will rise and will shut off the vacuum flow to prevent
any more water from entering the tank. Turn off the vacuum, and empty the recovery tank.
NOTE: if foam is present, or if the ball float is prevented from rising, the float will not be able to
stop the air flow, and the tank may over fill.
CAUTION!
To avoid vacuum motor damage, always make sure the float filter is clean and the ball can travel
freely prior to using the machine. And always use a defoamer when foaming occurs.
ELECTRIC CIRCUIT LOCATOR
This unique, patented system is operated by a solid state circuit. It will inform the operator when
the two cords are plugged into separate circuits by turning on the circuit locator light (see 1 on
switch plate). This helps to prevent tripping circuit breakers.
NOTE: if the circuit locator light does not illuminate when the cords are plugged in, then both
cords are on the same circuit. Try other outlets with one of the cords until you get the locator light
to come on. NOTE if the heat switch (2 on switch plate)is turned on when both cords are on the
same circuit, the breaker will trip.
