•Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the machine is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
•Do not pull by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the machine over the cord. Keep the cord away from
heated surfaces. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
•Do not handle the plug, the cord or the machine with wet hands.
•Extension cords must be 12/3 and no longer than 50 feet. Replace the cord or unplug immedi-
ately if the ground prong becomes damaged.
•Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust,
lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
•Keep loose clothing, hair, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
•Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes, or
any health endangering dusts. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as
gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.
•Turn off all controls before unplugging.
•Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
•Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.
•Liquid ejected at the spray nozzle could be dangerous as a result of its temperature, pressure,or
chemical content.
•Use a respirator and gloves when using dry cleaning solvents. In addition, a fan or blower is
helpful to blow fumes away from the operator.
•Always work in a well ventilated area.
•Always work with the exhaust hose attached to the machine when using solvents.

INSPECTION:
Carefully unpack and inspect your #770 Ultimate for shipping damage. Each machine is tested and
inspected before shipping. Any shipping damage incurred is the responsibility of the carrier. You should
notify the carrier immediately if you notice damage to the box or to the machine or parts.
CLEANING SOLUTIONS:
The #770 Ultimate is capable of either wet or dry cleaning. Only liquid cleaners are recommended (no
powders). Solvents with a flash point of 140° F or higher are required for safety. Solvents are normally
used full strength. Water based cleaners are normally diluted. Follow label directions. The stainless
steel holding tank can be filled with up to 3 gal. of cleaning solution.
MAINTENANCE:
For optimum performance, flush the machine with clear water at the end of each working day. Once a
month, minimum, run a flushing compound through the machine to break up any mineral or chemical
build-up that may have formed. Clean the float rod each time the recovery bucket is emptied. Inspect
the filters regularly and clean as needed. The vacuum filter is located under the recovery bucket. The
solution filter is located at the bottom of the holding tank. The quick disconnects and castors can be
lubricated with a penetrating spray lubricant. Fine steel wool will keep the brass quick disconnects shin-
ning. An auto interior spray cleaner/protectant will work well to keep the body clean and bright.

Set-Up
1 Make sure the recovery bucket is in place under the dome and in the correct position. The dome
must be flat or it won’t seal properly.
2 Fill the stainless steel holding tank with cleaning solution, to the desired level. Solution must be at
least 3” above the filter in the bottom of the tank. NOTE: Attach the exhaust hose when dry
cleaning.
3 Position the cleaning tool over the holding tank, and depress the trigger. Turn the pump on (center
switch). Allow the solution to spray for several seconds, to fill the lines.
4SOLVENT HEATING: turn on the Heater switch only. Make sure the Booster Heat switch is
turned completely off. Wait two minutes for the heater to reach operating temperature. Spray over
the holding tank again, for about 15 seconds, to preheat the solution line and the tool. NOTE: the
heat will shut off completely if the Booster Heat is turned on with solvent in the tank. Go to Step 5.
WATER HEATING: turn on the Heater switch, and position the Booster switch to the desired
temperature. Wait 2 minutes for the heater to reach operating temperature. Spray over the holding
tank for 15 seconds to preheat the solution line and the tool. Wait 30 seconds, then spray again for
15 seconds. Go to Step 5.
5 Turn on the Vacuum switch (first switch). All rocker switches should be turned on now. You are now
ready to begin cleaning.
6 When the recovery bucket is full, the vacuum will automatically shut off. Turn the vacuum switch
off. Remove the dome and lift the bucket out. Empty the bucket, and wipe off any spillage from
the outside of the bucket. Reinstall the recovery bucket and the dome.
7 Make sure the float in the bucket travels freely up and down the rod each time you empty the
recovery bucket.
TO SWITCH CHEMICAL BASE
8 When switching from a solvent-based product to a water-based detergent, or vice versa, use the
following procedure: turn off all the switches, except the vacuum switch. Leave the vacuum hose
in the dome, and disconnect the hoses from the tool. Place the open end of the vacuum hose into
the solution tank, and vacuum out any remaining solution. Place the hose over the filter in the tank
for 10 seconds.
9 Connect the end of the solution line to the black suction plug. Take the vacuum hose out of the
dome, and place the plug in its place. Let the vacuum run for 20 - 30 seconds to pull all the solution
out of the lines and the heater. NOTE: DO NOT LET THE PUMP RUN DRY.

SOLVENT HEATING:
WATER HEATING:
WATER ONLY
NO SOLVENT (E):
CAUTION:
Turn on the Heater Switch (D). The Booster Heat switch (E)
must be all the way off (turned counterclockwise until it ‘clicks’
off) or the machine will not heat at all.
Turn on the Heater Switch (D). Turn on the Booster Heat Switch
(E) to the desired temperature, 130 - 200
° F.
NOTE: Booster Heat will not work unless the Heat switch is on.
This indicator light (B) illuminates when the Booster Heat switch
(E) is turned on. It is a reminder that the Booster Heat will only
work with water-based solutions.
USE A RAG TO DISCONNECT BRASS FITTINGS
AFTER USING THE BOOSTER HEAT. THE FITTINGS CAN
GET VERY HOT AND MAY CAUSE MINOR BURNS.
AUTO VAC SHUT-OFF:
SOLVENT
SENSING SYSTEM:
When the recovery bucket is full, the vacuum motor will auto-
matically shut off. The float in the bucket may not be raised by
foam. Defoamer must always be used to avoid water damage to
the vacuum motor.
This unique, patented system determines whether there is
solvent or water-based solution in the tank. If solvent is used,
the sensor will automatically prevent heating above 140 ° F. To
prevent accidental over-heating of solvent, the use of the Booster
heat switch - with solvent in the tank - will cause the entire heat
system to shut off.
