GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
is piece of equipment must be grounded. Should an
electrical malfunction occur, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electrical current- reducing the risk
of electric shock. is piece of equipment is furnished
with a cord that has a grounding conductor and ground-
ing plug. e grounded plug must only be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
WARNING:
Connecting the equipment to an improperly grounded
outlet can result in an increased risk of electric shock. A
qualified electrician should be consulted if you are un-
sure that the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the equipment. If it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
is appliance is designed for use on a 120-volt circuit.
e grounding plug provided looks like the plug illus-
trated in Figure 1.
A temporary adapter such as the one illustrated in
Figure 2 may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle (see Figure 2), if a properly grounded outlet
is not available. Temporary grounding adapters should
only be used until a properly grounded outlet (see
Figure 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician. e
green-colored rigid ear, tab, or similar, extending from
the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever
an adapter is being used, it must be secured by a metal
screw. ese temporary grounding adapters are not
approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or
broken.
e Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the
grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must
be attached to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be
12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and
outlets. DO NOT use extension cords more than 25 feet
(7.6 m) long.

Assembling the accessory racks:
e CR2 is shipped with the accessory racks and hard-
ware in the solution tank. When you receive your CR2,
it is necessary to secure the racks to the body. e only
tool required to complete this action is a Phillips head
screwdriver.
e CR2 comes equipped with threaded inserts pre-in-
stalled in the body. e two larger racks are installed
toward the front of the machine- one per side and the
two smaller racks are installed toward the rear, also one
per side.
Installing an accessory heater:
If a 600HR Heat “n” Run heater system has been pur-
chased for the CR2, use the following illustration to
familiarize yourself with the heater.
Opening the machine:
is unit can be opened by simply removing two bolts
located on the back of the machine. e unit will open
forward by liing up on the handle. If you need to open
the unit further, you may release the vacuum hose going
from the base of the vacuum plate to the bottom of the

pet, the green lamp will turn on and o throughout your
job as the thermostats regulate the temperature.
Note: e heater is mainly to be used for carpet cleaning.
While the heater may provide some heat during chem-
ical application, it is unlikely to reach desired tempera-
tures during continous spray conditions.

Chemical feed system and hard surface clean-
ing:
e chemical feed system is designed to deliver accu-
rate chemical dilution for touchless surface cleaning.
e chemical feed system is activated by low pressure
spraying and is not suited for chemical dispensing while
performing carpet cleaning. To clean hard surfaces:
1. Fill the solution tank of your CR2 with sucient
water for the task at hand
2. Connect hoses and accessory pressure gun
3. Select the appropriate tip and install on the cap of
the chemical feed (number 8 on page 4)
4. Place a bottle into bottle holder (number 9 on page
4)
5. Take the feed tube attached to the cap (number 8 on
page 4) and place it inside the bottle.
6. Take the cap from number 8 on page 4 and thread it
onto the bottle of chemical to secure it in place
7. Turn the chemical dispensing valve (11 on page 4)
to the le to the word “SOAP”
8. Chemical will only draw in the “Low pressure”
setting of your pressure gun. To activate the Low
pressure setting, pop the collar of the gun out.
9. While in the low pressure setting, apply chemical to
the walls and xtures starting from the lowest point
to the highest.
10. Spray the oor as you make your way out of the
room
11. Allow the chemical to dwell according to the chemi-
cal manufacturers recommendations
12. You may use the brush on your squeegee/brush
wand to agitate particularly soiled areas
13. When you are ready to rinse away chemical, simply
turn the Chemical dispensing valve to the right to
the word “RINSE”
14. Set your pressure gun to “high” pressure by pulling
the collar back in. Rinse surfaces starting from the
top down.
15. See “Recovering liquid” for nal steps

Recovering liquid:
e CR2 is equipped with two dedicated tools for liquid
recovery: the squeegee/brush wand and the Gulper tool.
Other accessories are available for the CR2.
1. Connect recovery vacuum hose to the recovery inlet
barb (number 7 on page 4)
2. Turn the vacuum switch (19 on page 4) into the on
position
3. Using either the squeegee/brush wand or the Gulper
tool, extract the liquid from the surface.
4. Monitor the levels in the recovery tank and empty
as necessary. Use defoamer to ensure your vacuum
motor does not take in uid
Using the blower hose:
e CR2 has a hose barb (13 on page 4) tted to the vac-
uum motor’s exhaust. By attaching a hose to this tting,
the energy from the exhaust is redirected and allows the
operator to use the accessory hose as a blower.
Convenient for:
• Blowing uid o countertops and walls onto the
oor
• Drying Faucets and other xtures
Cleaning carpet or upholstery:
e CR2 can be used as a cold or hot water extractor.
If you do not have an accessory heater, then perform e
steps below 1-12. If you do have a heater, read the heater
steps on page 6 and continue at step 10 below.
1. Prespray the area of carpet to be cleaned
2. Connect your solution line
3. Connect your recovery vacuum hose
4. Connect your wand or upholstery tool to the solu-
tion and vacuum hoses
5. Fill the solution tank of your cr2 with water
6. Turn the pump switch to the “on” position
7. Turn the priming valve to the le to the open posi-
tion if pump needs to be primed
8. Allow pump to prime
9. Close the Priming valve
10. Turn on the vacuum motor
11. Spray on the backstroke and do a dry stroke when
pushing forward.
12. Overlap your previous path slightly when you pull

cals
• Do not add chemical to the solution tank- use the
chemical feed system
• For optimal performance, it is suggested that the
operator ush the system aer every job or at the end
of the day.
• Pump seals and valves may need to be replaced at the
1000 hour mark if a loss in pressure is noted
e pressure regulator may require servicing should a
pressure drop be noted
Daily:
• Flush chemical lines
• Check and clean vacuum lter
Wee kly :
• Check and clean solution lter
• Check for obstructions in vacuum pathways
Quarterly:
• Check pump, plumbing and ttings for leaks
