and mouth.
WARNING: When all work is completed and the pump is off, the pressure must be discharged by depressing the
valve lever.
CAUTION: Should extension cords be used, ensure that the cable rating is suitable for use with the equipment. Do
not use the cable coiled as this could result in a voltage drop or overheating. Keep dry at all times.
CAUTION: If the equipment should overturn, it is recommended that that the machine be righted before
switching off.
CAUTION: If foam or liquid should come from the machine exhaust, switch off immediately.
CAUTION: Aggressive solvents or detergents should not be used.

TO CHANGE FROM CARPET TOOL TO
DOUBLE USE BRUSH ATTACHMENT
1. Unclip the injection nozzle from carpet tool.
2. Remove carpet tool from lower bent wand
piece.
3. Firmly press the double use brush attachment
into the lower bent wand piece.
4. The injection nozzle and hose serves no
function for the double use brush. Either remove
or attach the injection nozzle to the wand assem-
bly so it does not interfere with vacuuming.

DAILY MAINTENANCE
Caution: Some detergents produce foam which will damage the vac motors. The vac shut-off
may not be sensitive to all foams. Be sure to check that the tank is not filling with foam. Use
a defoaming agent to avoid pulling foam through the vac motor. Should vac motor become
wet, remove source of overflow and immediately run vac motor open to dry.
At the end of each working day:
1. After each use, rinse tank with fresh water. Periodically inspect the recovery tank and decontami-
nate if necessary, using a hospital grade virucide or a 1:10 bleach to water solution. Waste water
should be disposed properly.
2. Remove head assembly and allow tank to dry.
3. Remove filters for cleaning or allow to dry.
4. Inspect hoses for wear. Frayed or cracked hoses should be replaced to avoid vacuum loss.
5. Inspect power cord for wear. This cable will lay on wet surfaces. To prevent electrical shock
replace cords with frayed or cracked insulation immediately.
