GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Machine must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electrical current to
reduce the risk of electrical shock. This machine
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 in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not remove ground pin; if missing, replace

OPERATION

MACHINE OPERATION
FOR SAFETY: Do not operate machine unless
operator manual is read and understood.
1. Turn on the carpet extractor according to it’s
operating manual instructions.
2. Move the SPRAY switch to the upward position,
then squeeze the ON/OFF switch to start spray
and brush.
3. To begin cleaning: Pull the brush accessory
backwards slowing and slightly lift up on the
handle to apply brush pressure to the floor.
WARNING: Flammable materials or reactive
metals can cause an explosion or fire. Do not pick
up.
NOTE: If a spot does not come clean after first pass,
move the SPRAY switch to the downward position.
This stops the spray and allows you to scrub the spot
using only the brush.
4. When finished cleaning, turn off the extractor, then
squeeze the ON/OFF switch on the brush
accessory to relieve pressure in the solution hose.
5. Disconnect hoses and wrap the power cord
around the handle and cord wrap.
Brush Circuit Breaker
The machine is equipped with a brush circuit breaker.
Circuit Breaker will trip under conditions of excessive
brush overload. Periodically check brush for entangled
carpet strands and debris. If circuit breaker should trip.
Remove obstruction and reset circuit breaker switch
by pushing button located on side of handle. Resume
to normal operation.
MACHINE MAINTENANCE
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine, turn off machine and unplug cord from
wall outlet.
Plumbing System
Each week of operation, flush out plumbing system
with an acetic acid solution. This will prevent the
plumbing system from clogging up with an alkaline
buildup. Follow instructions below:
Mix 473ml (2 cups) of acetic acid solution with 7.6L (2
gal) of host water, 60°C (140°F) max., in the
extractor’s solution tank. Hold a bucket under brush
attachment spray tips and spray solution for several
seconds. Allow solution to sit in machine for 12 hours.
Next, flush out machine with clean water before using
again.
Power Cord
Always wind power cord around handle and cord wrap
rather than loosely looped over handle. Should power
cord become worn, replace immediately.
Inspect cord strain relief regularly to ensure that it is
not pulling out of housing.
Brush and Belt
Inspect regularly for entangled carpet strands and
debris.
Pick–Up Head
Inspect pick up head intake for lodged debris. Use a
coat hanger to remove debris.
Vacuum Hose
Inspect Vacuum hose regularly for holes, loose cuffs
or clogged debris.
