115VElectricalConnectionInstructions
DANGER: Electrocution and/or damage could
occur if this machine is plugged
into anything other than the cor-
rect frequency as specified on the
nameplate. This machine will
operate only on AC frequency and
on electrical voltage shown on the
nameplate. Make sure you have
the correct frequency and voltage
before connecting the power cord
to an outlet. The machine has a
plug as shown in figure 8.
This machine must be connected to an electrically
ground circuit in order to protect the operator from
electric shock. This machine has an approved power
cord with three conductors as well as a plug with three
terminals. Connecttheplugintoathreeholedreceptacle.
For maximum protection against electric shock, use a
circuitthatisprotectedbyagroundfaultcircuitinterrupter.
This machine uses a 115V AC 60 cycle electrical circuit.
Make sure you have the correct frequency and voltage
before connecting the power cord to an outlet. Do not
use an adaptor to plug in this machine. Contact an
electrical contractor and have a 3-prong receptacle
installed.
DANGER: Electrocution could occur if the
machine is exposed to water or
rain. Keep the machine in a dry
building.
DANGER: Electrocution could occur if ma-
chine is improperly connected to
the electrical system. To prevent
possible electric shock, always use
a 3-wire electrical system con-
nected to an electrical ground.
For maximum protection against
electrical shock, use a circuit that
is protected by a ground fault cir-
cuit interrupter. Consult your elec-
trical contractor.
DANGER: Electrocution could occur if the
ground pin is tampered with in any
way. Do not cut, remove, or break
the ground pin. Do not try to fit a
three-terminal plug into a recep-
tacle or connector body other than
a three plug receptacle or connec-
tor body. If the outlet does not fit
the plug, consult your electrical
contractor.
DANGER: Electrocution could occur if the
machine is used with a damaged
plug or power cord. If the cords or
plugs are worn or damaged in any
way, have them replaced by an
authorized service person or elec-
trician.

MACHINEOPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: Failure to read the operator’s
manual before operating this
machine could result in injury to
you or to other personnel,
damage to the machine or to
other property as well.
CAUTION: Pump damage can occur if the
pump is operated without water
in the solution tank. Do not
activate the pump if the solution
tank is empty.
RecommendationsforBest Wash -n-Rinse
CleaningResults
1. Vacuumcarpetthoroughlybeforecleaning.
2. Precondition spots, stains and any high traffic
areasasneeded.
3. Clean carpet by following the instructions in this
section. See "How to Operate the Machine".
4. After cleaning, dry carpets by using Clarke's
Direct Air carpet dryer or by using fans. Windows
should be open to assist in proper drying.
How to Operate the Machine
1. Put water into rinse tank and cleaning solution
into the chemical tank. Clarke recommends
usingClarkare®ExtractorConcentrateas a
cleaningsolution.
Wash-n-RinseOperatingInstructions:
a.) Soap tank must be filled with liquid soap
only. It must be at the consistency similar
to that of water.
b.) Pump setting must be placed in the maximum
range.
c.) Soap concentration used for pre spray jets is
factory set at 4:1 ratio. To change
concentration,dilutesoapin container 50%
water to 50% solution to equal 2:1 ratio etc.
DANGER: Electrocutioncouldoccur if
machine is connected to an
electrical outlet that is not
properly wired or grounded.
Always use a 3-wire electrical
system connected to electrical
ground. For maximum protec-
tion, use a circuit that is pro-
tected by a ground fault circuit
interrupter(GFCI). Consultyour
electrical contractor.
2. Connect the power cord to the machine and to
the correct electrical source.
3. Press the power switch to the "ON" position.

MACHINEOPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS
4. Press vacuum switch to the "ON" position.
5. Select "Floor" setting on the accessory switch.
6. Turn the traverse speed control to the desired
position.
7. Turn pump pressure knob to desired setting.
8. Lower the recovery tool.
9. Apply pressure to either traverse switch on the
control handle.
10. Adjust the brush to the proper carpet height
setting.
11. Guiding the machine by the control handle, move
across the floor in the forward direction.
12. Follow the path sequence.
NOTE: By properly planning the cleaning pattern, a
minimum number of turns will need to be made.
See figures 10a and 10b.
13. When cleaning in a corner, change the accessory
switch to accessory, raise the brush, maneuver the
machine as illustrated in figure 11. Lower the
recovery tool, turn the accessory switch back to
"Floor" and proceed with cleaning.
NOTE: If the extractor removes an excess amount of
foam from the carpet, add a de-foamer such as
Clarkare ® Defoamer Concentrate to the recovery tank.
The amount needed will vary according to the amount of
detergent already in the carpet.
To stop the machine follow these procedures:
1. Press the accessory switch to "ACCESSORY".
2. Release pressure from the traverse switch on the
control handle.
3. Raise the recovery tool handle to the “storage”
position.
4. Wait 5 - 10 seconds to allow all dirty solution to
reach the recovery tank, and then raise the recov-
ery tool handle to the “OFF” position.
WARNING: Failure to turn all switches to
the “OFF” position could result
in injury or machine damage.
Always position all of the
switches into their "OFF"
position when not in use.
WARNING: Machine can roll if left parked
or unattended on an un-level
surface and cause damage or
injury. This machine is not
equipped with a parking brake.
Never leave the machine
unattended. For added safety,
always place a chock in front of
and behind the drive wheel.
