IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The Maxx 400 is only suitable for commercial use, for example in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops, and
offices. The Maxx 400 is not intended for normal residential housekeeping purposes.
NOTE: Read all instructions before using this machine.
When using any electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following warnings:
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
•Do not leave the machine unattended when it is plugged in. Unplug the unit from the outlet when not in use
and before servicing.
•To avoid electric shock, do not expose to rain or snow. Use and store indoors.
•Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.
•Use only as described in this manual. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
•Never add water over 130º F/54º C to the solution tank.
•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 immediately 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, 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 these liquids 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.

INSPECTION:
Carefully unpack and inspect your MAXX-400 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:
We recommend liquid cleaning chemicals. Powder chemicals may be used, but unless mixed very thoroughly they
could cause a build-up in the pump, lines, heat exchanger and/or quick disconnects. Any problem caused by a
chemical build-up is not covered by warranty. Use a neutral cleaner with a pH between 5 and 10 to avoid premature
wear of the pump, seals, and/or other components.
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. The vacuum motor and the pump do not require any scheduled maintenance; however, the motor
may require replacement brushes after 1000 - 1500 hours. Clean the body with an all-purpose detergent, and
protect it with an automobile interior polish. Lubricate the wheels, castors, and quick disconnects with an all
purpose silicone spray.
PARTS AND SERVICE:
Repairs, when required, should be performed by your authorized distributor who maintains an inventory of
original replacement parts and accessories. Call the distributor from whom you purchased this machine if you
need parts and service. Be sure to specify the machine model. Have your serial number handy.

PUMP SWITCH (3):
The pump switch will illuminate when it is activated, and it will turn on the pump.
HEAT SWITCH (4):
The heat switch will illuminate when it is activated and will turn on the heater. NOTE: if the green, two-circuit
indicator light is not turned on, you may have both power cords on the same circuit and this can trip the circuit
breaker in the wall.
GREEN, TWO CIRCUIT INDICATOR (5):
This light will automatically turn on when you have plugged the two power cords into separate circuits. If this light
does not turn on, try other outlets with one of the cords until the light does turn on. NOTE: all systems in the
machine will operate if this light does not turn on, but you may trip a circuit breaker in the wall.

SET-UP & OPERATION:
1. Inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tools for cleanliness and completeness.
CAUTION: Always make sure the float cage is clean and the ball can travel freely before
turning on the machine.
2. Screw the lid on the recovery tank. Close the drain gate.
3. Fill the holding tank with clear water.
NOTE: Although this machine is designed to supply instant hot water, the addition of warm water to the
solution tank would increase heater efficiency. Never use water above 130º F/54º C in the solution tank.
4. Turn off all the switches. Plug the power cords into properly grounded outlets. Do not connect both cords to the
same outlet. The green, circuit locator light (5) on the switch plate should light up. If the locator light does not
come on, try different outlets until it does.
5. Connect the priming hose to the machine, and position the open end of the hose over the solution tank. Turn the
pump ON (3) to 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. NOTE: If priming is difficult, place the open end of the priming hose into the vacuum inlet hose
barb, and turn the vacuum on. Use your hand to block the open area in the hose barb. This will allow the pump and
the vacuum to work together to get the water moving. Priming may take 20 - 60 seconds, and the solution tank
should be full.
Once the pump has been primed, turn off the motor(s) off. Remove the priming hose.
6. Turn on the Heat switch (4), and wait two minutes for the heat exchanger to reach temperature.
7. Pre-spray with the detergent of your choice. If you choose to add a detergent to the solution tank, be sure to
mix well, and always follow the use & dilution instructions on the chemical label. Use a chemical with a pH
between 5 and 10.
8. Attach 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.
9. Turn on the vacuum (2).
10. Turn the pump ON and begin cleaning.
11. Use defoamer any time foaming occurs to prevent damage to the motor or other components. NOTE: Foam will
not lift the ball float.
12. Monitor the water level in the solution tank. Do not let the pump run dry.
13. When the solution tank gets low, turn off the pump and the vacuum, fill the solution tank, empty
and clean the recovery tank.
14. When finished with the job, remove any unused solution from the solution tank, and run a few gallons of
clean water through the system. Drain the recovery tank by opening the drain gate over a drain or a bucket.
Disconnect the hoses from the cleaning tool.
NOTE: If the green, 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 is turned on when both cords are on the same circuit, the breaker in the wall may trip.
AUTO VACUUM SHUT OFF:
When the recovery tank is full, the ball float will shut-off the suction to prevent the machine from overflowing.
NOTE: The float may not work if there is foam in the tank. Always use defoamer to prevent overflow.

This pump motor runs on AC voltage, so it should start running as soon as you
turn on the switch. If the pump motor does not start running, check the wiring
to the switch and to the motor. Check the switch to see if it is ‘open.’
Debris is plugging cleaning tool or vacuum hose.
Drain gate is not completely closed, or seals are damaged.
Vacuum lid is not closed completely or is damaged.
Ball in the float is blocking air flow. Turn off the vacuum so the ball will drop down.
No power to motor. Does the switch light up? If not, the switch may be bad or
there may be no power getting to the switch. Check wiring connections.
Test the switch.
Test the vacuum motor.
Spraying for too long will significantly drop the heat. Try spraying for 8 - 10 seconds,
or about three strokes.
Heat exchanger needs to be flushed.
Wrong tool being used. Too much water passing through. Longer hose or larger
diameter hose, than standard.
Heat is not turned on.
No power in the wall outlet - check to see if the breaker has tripped.
No power to the heat switch - check wiring for ‘opens’.
No power out of heat switch. Replace switch.
Call your distributor for additional help.
