INDOORS.
• All carpet extractors, no matter what the time of year, are shipped with antifreeze in
the solution lines. Prior to rst use, ll the solution tank with one quart of warm water.
Attach the hose and using a hand tool or wand, ush out the system by spraying the
one quart of water through the pump.
• Attach the vacuum hose and the brass quick disconnect.
• Fill the solution tank with warm water (less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit). Fill to
approximately 4 inches from the top. Pre-spray and agitate the surface with detergent
made for oor cleaning or upholstery. Use only warm water to extract the pre-spray
from the surface.
• Be sure to replace any lters back into the machine prior to use.
• Do not use citric acid, butyl glycol or harsh degreasers inside the machine.
2.1 Electrical
Plug cord(s) into 10 AMP grounded wall outlet(s). 10 AMP circuits are normally found in
kitchens and bathrooms. Never remove ground prong from the plug. If a circuit breaker
trips during operation, turn machine off, reset the breaker and move the electrical cord to
a different outlet and resume operation.
2.2 Vacuum System
Automatic Vacuum Shut-Off: The oat assembly shut-off, located in the recovery
tank on the vacuum stand pipe, prevents the waste tank from overowing into the stand
pipe and damaging the vacuum motor(s). The oat assembly will cut-off vacuum to the
waste tank. The motor(s) will also reach a fast, high-pitched sound alerting you when the
recovery tank is about to over ow. When this happens, immediately turn off the vacuum
motor(s) and empty the waste tank. If the operator continues to use machine after the tank
is full, it will void the Warranty.
The oat assembly has a lter to prevent lint and debris from entering the stand pipe.
Refer to the “Maintenance” section for removal and proper cleaning.
Recovery Tank: the vacuum system requires the use of an external lter. The clear
view in-line lter is included with the machine and must be used on every job.
It is also necessary to use a defoamer to eliminate foam build-up in the recovery
tank which could lead to foam/moisture entering the vacuums and contributing to
early failure of the vacuum motors.
If moisture does enter the vacuum motors, contact an authorized service center. To
prevent moisture from damaging the vacuum motors during storage, empty the recovery
tank and store with the lid open.
