For units with heat :
•Do not run heater dry.
•Water hookups must be in place and water flowing through the heater prior to turning it on.
Failure to do so may cause internal component damage and will void warranty.
•Heater must be filled with water or water based solutions at all times when in use.
•Turn off the switch and unplug the heater from outlet when not in use, allow to cool before
cleaning.
•Do not use heater at more than 300 PSI.
•Do not immerse heater in water.
•To avoid explosions and/or fire, do not use solvents or any flammable liquid in heater.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE WARNING INSTRUCTIONS WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The 120 V. A/C and the 220 V. A/C models have been outfitted with the appropriate
grounded connectors. Make sure the machine is connected to a grounded outlet
having the same configuration as the grounded plug. No adapter should be used
with this machine. Any modification to the connectors will void the warranty.
PREPARING THE MACHINE (All Fastracts Equipment)
IMPORTANT: For all Fastracts BX12 equipment, use only the correct Eagle Power high pressure,
high heat wands & upholstery tools. They are designed to deliver and maintain the correct gallons per
minute (GPM), pressure (PSI) and heat when attached to the Fastracts pump system. Use of other
manufacturers wands can cause over-wetting of carpet, damage to the pump system (including hose
& fittings), lack of pressure and heat.
1. Pour clean solution into the solution tank.
2. Slide vacuum hose on to the black hose adapter (located at the back of machine) and the
wand or upholstery tool.
3. Connect the male end of the solution hose to the wand and the female end to the machine
by sliding knurled collar on the female quick disconnect fitting back. Push the male fitting in
and release the knurled collar until it snaps back.
4. Make sure the drain valve is closed by pushing the T-handle all the way in.
5. Previously shampooed carpets usually have a heavy build-up of old shampoo residue which
can cause the vacuum system to ingest foam and result in damage to the vacuum motor.
Remember to add recommended amount of defoamer to the recovery tank every time you fill
the solution tank.
6. If a Powermate (Models 1204AC & 1800AC-100) is to be used with the machine, connect the
male plug on the wand to the optional receptacle on the machine.
For Fastracts BX12 with heat, see additional instructions below.
Additional instructions for BX12 with heat:
1. Be sure to fill solution tank with water before plugging in machine.
2. Plug heater power cord and machine power cord into separate outlets on separate circuits.
3. turn on heater switch when you are ready to clean.
4. CAUTION: When the green light on the heater is on, the heater is heating. When the green light
is off, the water in the heater tank is up to temperature and the thermostat switch in the heater
has turned the heater off. It will automatically turn on again when the water temperature in the
heater has cooled.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - CARPET TOOL
1. Turn on the vacuum and solution switches. Slowly pull the tool towards you
with the solution valve trigger engaged. Then make a pass forward and
backward with the vacuum only (no spray) over the cleaned area to remove
as much dirt and solution as possible. Do not overwet carpet! Make
overlapping passes to prevent streaking.
2. If the carpet is heavily soiled, squeeze solution valve lever on the forward
pass as well as backwards, allowing cleaning solution a few seconds longer
to work prior to vacuuming. Another method is to raise the wand 8" above the
carpet and pre-spray lightly prior to cleaning passes. On extremely soiled
carpets, we recommend using a pre-spray solution.
3. When you run out of solution, turn off the pump. Attach the drain elbow on the
drain valve. Place a pail under the downspout and pull up the drain valve
T-handle. Dirty solution will pour out until the tank is empty. Close the drain
valve. Use a clean bucket when you refill the solution tank.
4. When the job is completed, turn the switches off, disconnect the vacuum and
solution hoses from the carpet tool and the machine. Drain the recovery tank
through the drain valve as before.
CLEANING UPHOLSTERY
Cleaning upholstery with success requires a good knowledge of the type of fabric to be
worked on. Look for the cleaning instruction label sewn on the underside of the furniture for
the recommended method of cleaning the fabric. If it calls for dry cleaning, do not attempt to
clean with the wet extraction method. Otherwise, damage to the fabric could occur. Extraction
works perfectly on most synthetic fabrics including synthetic velvets.
Before proceeding, test the fabric for color fastness. Apply a small amount of ready-to-use
cleaning solution on the fabric in an inconspicuous spot. Wait for 2 to 3 minutes and rub the
area with a white terry cloth towel. If no color comes off the towel, the fabric should be safe to
clean. If a little color comes off, there is some risk of colors running when you clean. It may be
possible to stabilize colors by cleaning with an acidic rinse.
1. Prepare the machine in the same manner as for carpet (see preparing the
machine) cleaning except attach the upholstery tool to the vacuum hose. Connect
the solution hose. Pour hot water into the solution tank. Add recommended amount
of cleaning concentrate into the solution tank. Turn on the vacuum and pump
switches.
2. Adjust the pump “operating pressure” to 50 psi or below for upholstery cleaning
(See pare 3 PREPARING THE MACHINE items 8 and 9).
3. Clean with the upholstery tool using as little solution as possible. Make overlapping
passes to prevent streaking. Go over the area you just cleaned without depressing the
lever (vacuum only) and gauge the amount of moisture extracted through the view window
for dryness. On heavily soiled areas like arm rests, pre-treat with a recommended pre-
spray and /or hold the upholstery tool a few inches above the fabric and press lever to
spray on the solution before making a pass.
321 AC

DAILY MAINTENANCE
1. Always keep the machine clean inside and out.
2. Pour 2 gallons of clean hot water in the solution tank. Turn the pump on and flush the entire
system through the wand nozzles for about a minute to prevent alkaline build-up.
3. Remove dirt and lint build-up inside the filter screen in the recovery tank. Lint should be
cleaned off so that air flow is not impeded.
4. Check the solution tank strainer in the solution tank. If lint has accumulated in the screen,
remove and rinse it in clear running water.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
All Eagle Power machines are engineered and built to require a minimum of maintenance. But like any
machine, it does require some care to keep it in optimum working condition. Careful attention to these
maintenance instructions will give you maximum operating performance and will increase the life
expectancy of your machine.
Solution Lines and Fittings. Flush the machine at least once a month with a solution of 1 part
water with 3 parts white vinegar in order to neutralize the alkaline residue left by the cleaning
solution.
Quick connect coupler. Spray with WD-40 or equivalent lubricant to prevent coupler from sticking.
Drain Valve. Apply light oil on gate seals. If machine has to be stored, leave the gate valve open.
Solution pump. The same above procedure used on solution line and fittings applies to the pump.
