IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This machine is only suitable for commercial use, for example in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops and ofces other than
normal residential housekeeping purposes.
When using any electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
NOTE: Read all instructions before using this machine.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury:
• Do not leave the machine unattended when it is plugged in. Unplug the unit from the outlet when not in use and before
servicing.
• To avoid electric shock, do not expose to rain or snow. Store, and use, indoors.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
• Never add water over 130º F/54º C to the solution tank.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the machine is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or
dropped into water, return it to a service center.
• Do not pull by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do
not run the machine over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle the plug, the cord or the machine with wet hands.
• Extension cords must be 12/3 and no longer than 50 feet. Replace the cord or unplug immediately if the ground prong becomes
damaged.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may
reduce air ow.
• Keep loose clothing, hair, ngers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes, or any health endangering dusts.
Do not use to pick up ammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.
• Liquid ejected at the spray nozzle could be dangerous as a result of its temperature, pressure,or chemical content.
• Use a respirator and gloves when using dry cleaning solvents. In addition, a fan or blower is helpful to blow fumes away from
the operator.
• Always work in a well ventilated area.
• Always work with the exhaust hose attached to the machine when using solvents.

120VAC GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualied 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 qualied electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1 below. A temporary
adapter illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 2 if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualied electrician. The
green-colored rigid ear, tab, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The 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 50 feet (15 m) long.
PLEASE NOTE: FOR NORTH AMERICA ONLY

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USEA - ENGLISH

SET-UP:
1 Make sure the recovery bucket is in place under the dome and in the correct position. The dome must be at or it won’t seal properly.
2 Fill the stainless steel holding tank with cleaning solution, to the desired level. Solution must be at least 3” above the lter in the bottom of
the tank. NOTE: Attach the exhaust hose when dry cleaning.
3 Position the cleaning tool over the holding tank, and depress the trigger. Turn the pump on (center switch). Allow the solution to spray for
several seconds, to ll the lines.
4SOLVENT HEATING: turn on the Heater switch only. Make sure the Booster Heat switch is turned completely off. Wait two minutes for the
heater to reach operating temperature. Spray over the holding tank again, for about 15 seconds, to preheat the solution line and the tool.
NOTE: the heat will shut off completely if the Booster Heat is turned on with solvent in the tank. Go to Step 5.
WATER HEATING: turn on the Heater switch, and position the Booster switch to the desired temperature. Wait 2 minutes for the heater to
reach operating temperature. Spray over the holding tank for 15 seconds to preheat the solution line and the tool. Wait 30 seconds, then
spray again for 15 seconds. Go to Step 5.
5 Turn on the Vacuum switch (rst switch). All rocker switches should be turned on now. You are now ready to begin cleaning.
6 When the recovery bucket is full, the vacuum will automatically shut off. Turn the vacuum switch off. Remove the dome and lift the bucket
out. Empty the bucket, and wipe off any spillage from the outside of the bucket. Reinstall the recovery bucket and the dome.
7 Make sure the oat in the bucket travels freely up and down the rod each time you empty the recovery bucket.
TO SWITCH CHEMICAL BASE
8 When switching from a solvent-based product to a water-based detergent, or vice versa, use the following procedure: turn off all the
switches, except the vacuum switch. Leave the vacuum hose in the dome, and disconnect the hoses from the tool. Place the open end of
the vacuum hose into the solution tank, and vacuum out any remaining solution. Place the hose over the lter in the tank for 10 seconds.
9 Connect the end of the solution line to the black suction plug. Take the vacuum hose out of the dome, and place the plug in its place. Let the
vacuum run for 20 - 30 seconds to pull all the solution out of the lines and the heater. NOTE: DO NOT LET THE PUMP RUN DRY.
MAINTENANCE:
For optimum performance, ush the machine with clear water at the end of each working day. Once a month, minimum, run a ushing compound
through the machine to break up any mineral or chemical build-up that may have formed. Clean the oat rod each time the recovery bucket is
emptied. Inspect the lters regularly and clean as needed. The vacuum lter is located under the recovery bucket. The solution lter is located at
the bottom of the holding tank. The quick disconnects and castors can be lubricated with a penetrating spray lubricant. Fine steel wool will keep
the brass quick disconnects shinning. An auto interior spray cleaner/protectant will work well to keep the body clean and bright.

SOLVENT HEATING
Turn on the Heater Switch (D). The Booster Heat switch (E) must be all the way off (turned counterclockwise until it ‘clicks’ off) or the machine will
not heat at all.
WATER HEATING
Turn on the Heater Switch (D). Turn on the Booster Heat Switch (E) to the desired temperature, 130° - 212°F (55° - 100°C)
NOTE: Booster Heat will not work unless the Heat switch is on.
WATERONLY,NOSOLVENT(E)
This indicator light (B) illuminates when the Booster Heat switch (E) is turned on. It is a reminder that the Booster Heat will only work with water-
based solutions.
CAUTION
USE A RAG TO DISCONNECT BRASS FITTINGS AFTER USING THE BOOSTER HEAT. THE FITTINGS CAN GET VERY HOT AND MAY
CAUSE MINOR BURNS.
AUTOVACSHUT-OFF
When the recovery bucket is full, the vacuum motor will automatically shut off. The oat in the bucket may not be raised by foam. Defoamer must
always be used to avoid water damage to the vacuum motor.
SOLVENT SENSING SYSTEM
This unique, patented system determines whether there is solvent or water-based solution in the tank. If solvent is used, the sensor will
automatically prevent heating above 140 ° F. To prevent accidental over-heating of solvent, the use of the Booster heat switch - with solvent in the
tank - will cause the entire heat system to shut off.
