4. Starting the Spotter - Power Switches:
MA51
The new style MA5 without heat has two switches, one to turn on the vacuum motor & one to turn on the
solution pump.
(Older Power X Pro Spot Extractors without heat only had one switch for both the vacuum and the pump.)
When you are ready to start cleaning, turn the switches to the ON position. For standard cleaning turn on
both switches. For extraction only, you can turn on just the Vacuum Switch. The FloJet solution pump,
standard on the Power X Pro Spot Extractor is self-priming and usually additional priming procedures are not
required.
If the pump does not prime by itself, or if flow is low or unsteady, check the hose from the solution tank to
the pump and the filter screen for clogging, kinks, or restrictions. Clean or replace hose and/or filter and.
Turn switch ON. Check the valve operation and the jet on the tool for flow restriction that can affect
solution flow.
If you are having trouble with the pump, refer to the trouble shooting guide or contact your distributor for
advice or assistance.
MA51H
The MA5 H with heat has three switches one to turn on the vacuum motor, one for the solution pump &
one for the heater.
When you are ready to start cleaning, you should first turn the vacuum switch to the ON position. If you are
extracting only you do not need to turn on the solution pump switch or the heater switch.
If you will be spraying solution, turn the solution pump switch ON. The Flojet solution pump, standard on
the Power X Pro Spot Extractor is self-priming and usually additional priming procedures are not required.
If the pump does not prime by itself, or if flow is low or unsteady, check the hose from the solution tank to
the pump and the filter screen for clogging, kinks, or restrictions. Clean or replace hose and/or filter and.
Turn switch ON. Check the valve operation and the jet on the tool for flow restriction that can affect
solution flow.
If you are having trouble with the pump, refer to the trouble shooting guide or contact your distributor for
advice or assistance.
Once you have solution flow to the tool, you can turn the heater switch ON. Let the heater heat the solution
for about five minutes before you start spraying. For the best heater performance and maximum heat output
use the water slowly and take extra drying passes between spraying passes to give the water more time to heat
up.
5. Spotter Operation:
As you operate the spotter the water and soil you vacuum up will collect in the recovery tank. The Power X
Pro Spot Extractor is equipped with a Float Shutoff assembly which will block the vacuum air flow when the
tank is filled. The float rises with the water level in the recovery tank until it gets to the top, blocking the
vacuum air flow. When this happens you will notice a change in the sound of the vacuum motor. This is your
signal to turn off the unit and empty the recovery tank. Disconnect the hoses and drain the tank by pouring
the water out of the vacuum barb. Do not attempt to drain the recovery tank from the hatch cover opening.
Do not use the same bucket to drain the unit that you use to fill the solution tank. Add more defoamer to the
recovery tank before you resume cleaning.
After draining the tank, before you place the recovery tank back onto the spotter base, check the water level
in the solution tank and add more water and detergent as needed to complete your cleaning. Then place the
recovery tank back onto the solution tank, reconnect the hoses and resume cleaning.
