Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: Electric shock may occur if used on wet surfaces. Store indoors.
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or injury:
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only the attachments recommended by the manufacturer.
• Test all outlets with an outlet tester before plugging machine into any outlet. Plug cord into the nearest grounded outlet.
• DO NOT unplug by pulling on the cord, grasp the plug. DO NOT pull unit by the cord.
• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Never attempt adjustments or repairs while the machine is plugged in.
• DO NOT use if cord or plug are damaged.
• DO NOT use outdoors, in standing water on wet surfaces.
• Pay close attention when using machine near children.
• DO NOT pick up ammable or combustible materials or use machine where they may be present.
• DO NOT leave machine outdoors, in extreme heat or cold. Harsh weather elements will damage components and void
warranty.
• Lift using only the appropriate handles.
• Always wear the appropriate clothing and safety equipment when operating the machine.
• Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from openings and moving parts.
• Use extra care when cleaning stairs. Never move the machine up or down stairs with uid in the machine.
• Use common sense to protect yourself and others from injury when using the machine.
Grounding Instructions
IMPORTANT: Improper grounding method can result in a risk of electrical shock.
The machine must be grounded.
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If the machine should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The Carpet Extractor is equipped with a cord containing a
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the grounded wire to a at bed terminal. The grounding
wire is the wire with insulation and an outer green surface, with or without yellow stripes.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualied electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician. RINTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT: the carpet
extractors have a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated. Make sure that the carpet
extractor is connected to an outlet having the same conguration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with
these carpet extractors.

Set-Up / Prepare Unit for Use
IMPORTANT: Do not use on wet surfaces. Do not expose to rain. Store 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 tank with one quart of warm water. Attach the hose and using the hand tool wand, ush out the system by spraying the
one quart of water through the pump.
• Attach the 1-1/2 inch vacuum hose and the brass quick disconnect.
• Fill the base unit (the recovery tank must be removed) with warm water (less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit). Fill to
approximately 4 inches from the top. Pre-spray a liquid detergent made for carpet cleaning or upholstery on carpet and
agitate carpet. Next, use clean water from solution tank to extract – this procedure is highly recommended. Note: read and
mix your pre-spray solution to the dilution ratios as directed.
• Be sure to replace any lters back into the machine prior to use.
• Do not use citrus acid, buterol or harsh degreasers inside the machine.
Electrical
Plug cord(s) into 20 AMP grounded wall outlet(s). 20 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 o, reset the breaker and move the electrical
cord to a dierent outlet and resume operation.
Vacuum System
The extractor uses a dual vacuum motor system that provides outstanding water lift and air ow.
Vacuum Float Assembly Warning System
The oat assembly on the vacuum stand pipe prevents the waste tank from overowing the stand pipe and damaging the vacuum
motors. Motors will 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 switches and empty the waste tank.
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.
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.
Shutdown Procedures
When nished cleaning, turn OFF all switches.
• Disconnect the solution hose and vacuum hose from the cleaning tool. Pull the valve
trigger to release pressure from the hose before disconnecting the solution hose
from the cleaning tool.
• Disconnect the clear view in-line lter from the vacuum hoses and clean the lter as
needed.
• Disconnect the vacuum hose and solution hose from the machine.
• If water remains in the solution tank, use the short vacuum hose and vacuum the
excess water from the tank.
• Disconnect the power cords from the outlets and from the machine.
• Remove the oat assembly from the recovery tank and clean lter as needed. Replace
oat assembly and tank lid.

ENGLISH
• Drain any remaining water from the recovery tank and dispose of in a sanitary drain. DO NOT
use the same bucket to drain the tank that you used to ll the tank.
• Roll up all hoses and tools. Collect and store extractor, all tools and accessories.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is required to keep your Carpet Extractor in proper working condition. Failure to properly
maintain your machine could void warranty. Thoroughly clean all equipment and accessories after each use:
• Rinse the solution and recover tanks with clean water.
• Flush the pump system with clean water, including all hoses and wand(s).
• Do not allow water to remain in the tanks after use.
• Lubricate all quick disconnects with WD-40 or similar lubricant.
• Clean vacuum oat assembly screen.
WARNING: Disconnect electrical power cord before performing any service or maintenance inside the machine base
or before testing or repairing switches or power cords. Failure to do so may result in severe personal injury or death.
Operation Interval
Clean chemical feed lter Daily - after each job
Clean vacuum assembly screen Daily - after each job
Rinse out recovery tank Daily
Flush solution tank and pump Daily
Clean pump-inlet lter Weekly - as needed
Clean Fresh Water Tank Filter
The fresh water tank lter is located at the bottom of the solution tank. Unscrew the lter counterclockwise and rinse with fresh
water. If necessary, use a tooth brush to remove detergent build-up. Note, a heavy build-up is a warning sign that the solution
system should be ushed. See the“Flush Chemical System”section.
Clean Vacuum Float Assembly Screen
Inside the recovery tank, on top of the stand pipe, is the vacuum oat assembly. It functions to prevent debris and water from being
sucked into the vacuum motors. Operating the Carpet Extractor without the oat assembly or with a poorly maintained assembly,
will greatly decrease the life of the vacuum motors and will void the warranty.
If debris builds up on this lter, it will reduce the vacuum air ow and may cause a signicant decrease in the rate of water recovery.
If debris prevents the oat ball from moving or seating inside the assembly, it may not stop the airow when the tank lls with water
and the water will be sucked in the vacuums and blow out the exhaust.
To clean, twist o the oat assembly from the stand pipe and clean the screen. Pull bers and
lint o and rinse with clean water. Push the assembly back onto the stand pipe and replace the
recovery tank lid.
This screen should be cleaned frequently if the Carpet Extractor is being operated in an
environment which has an abnormal build-up of lint and debris, such as cleaning newly installed
carpet. Loss of vacuum is most normally associated with lint build-up in this lter at the top of
the vacuum stand pipe.
