INTRODUCTION
Only the highest quality components go into our equipment, to deliver you strength and
reliability in a long life, high performance machine. The E1200 ’s housing is made of
high impact, unbreakable polyethylene. We are so confident in the housing that we put
an unlimited 3 year guarantee on this unit.
The E1200 incorporates a unique dual 2 stage vacuum system. Two 2 stage vacuum
motors hooked up in sequence produce 150 inches of water lift. To compliment the
vacuum lift the E1200 comes standard with a Rule industrial pump which disposes up to
2800 gallons per hour under vacuum.
The E1200 is also available for hard surface and carpet cleaning with it’s adjustable
1000 PSI solution pumps.
The E1200 ’s clean water solution tank and the dirty water recovery tank both have a 40
litre capacity. Built into the recovery the E1200 comes standard with a high water
automatic shut off. You never have to fear overfilling your recovery tank, as the
vacuums will automatically stop extracting when the tank becomes full.

SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Prior to inspection or repair of this machine, disconnect all electrical cords
rendering the machine powerless. Failure to do so could result in serious or fatal
injury.
2. Inspect unit daily for worn or damaged components. E.g. frayed cord, loose plug,
or a plug with missing ground pin, etc.
3. This unit should only be operated when in an upright position on a level surface.
4. Do not operate unit unless it is properly grounded in a 3 pin grounded outlets.
Never bend or remove ground pin from plugs.
5. Ensure filters and screens are free from lint or dirt.
6. Do not run unit if vacuum motor or pump are wet. Allow sufficient time for motor
to dry before plugging unit in.
7. Do not use solvent based cleaning products in this extractor.
8. Keep air inlets and exhaust ports free from obstructions. Blocked air inlets or
exhaust ports can cause the unit to overheat.
9. Do not use solution or recovery tanks for storing hoses, cords or accessories.
10. When using electrical equipment around water it is important to wear rubber
soled shoes and keep machine properly grounded at all times. Failure to do so
could result in a fatal electric shock.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Hard surface Cleaning or Carpet Cleaning
1. Insert electrical cords into 3 pin grounded outlets.
2. We recommend the use of a liquid defoamer, to prevent the machine from
prematurely shutting off due to excess foam in the recovery tank. Turn on
vacuum switch and pour approximately ¼ cup of Esteam Liquid Defoamer into
the end of the vacuum hose.
3. The E1200 is equipped with auto fill and drain, simply attach the supplied hoses
to a water supply and the pump out hose to a sanitary drain. You may also
manually fill and drain the machine, especially for a small amount of cleaning.
4. Turn the pump out switch on, the pump will start sensing electronically for
present water and then turn off. The pump will sense every 2 minutes thereafter
for water to pump out.
5. The float in the fresh water tank will automatically allow water in to a preset level
and maintain that level thereafter.
6. The E1200 pump is adjustable from 400-1000 PSI. To adjust pressure turn the
regulator (located on lower front of machine) clockwise to increase pressure and
counter clockwise to decrease pressure.
7. Attach the prime hose to the quick connect on the E1200, inserting the other end
into the vacuum barb cupping off the remainder with your hand. Turn on the
pump switch and run for about 15 seconds. This will prime any air out off the
pump and fitting.
8. Connect vacuum and solution hoses to the machine and then to the hard surface
tool to be used.
9. Turn on switches and proceed to clean.
10. When not using the Auto Fill or Drain features, when the recovery tank becomes
full the vacuum motors will stop extracting. The vacuum motors make a
distinctive high pitched noise as all the air flow will be cut off. At this time turn off
all switches, then the recovery tank may be drained by pulling up the drain valve
handle on the front of the machine and emptying the contents into a pail for
disposal.
NOTE: Ensure that the high water level float screen inside the recovery tank is free
from any obstructions. Be sure to close drain valve before resuming cleaning.

6
11. To empty solution tank remove vacuum hose from wand. Turn on vacuum
switches and partially submerge end of hose into solution tank. Continue until all
water has been removed from solution tank and transferred into recovery tank.
Drain recovery tank.
WARNING: When using electrical equipment around water it is important to wear
rubber soled shoes and keep machine properly grounded at all times. Failure to do so
could result in electric shock.
