Dear Customer:
Congratulations on the purchase of your new 12 Gallon Extractor.
Like any other piece of machinery or technology, extractors require the
proper maintenance and care to keep the product working over extended
use. Neglecting your machine, abusing it or not operating it properly can
void its warranty and prevent the machine from performing to the quality
and standard you’d expect.
If you have any warranty concerns or questions, please review this manual
thoroughly or do not hesitate to contact your distributor. If there are
questions regarding maintenance, replacement or ordering parts please
contact an authorized Service Center.
Before using your extractor, please read this manually thoroughly.
Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break-down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock. This
machine 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 in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not remove ground pin; if missing, replace plug before use.
Improper installation of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. Be sure to check with a qualied electrician
or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the plug will not t in the outlet do not modify either the
plug or the machine’s cord, instead have a proper outlet installed by
a qualied technician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and with a grounding
plug similar to the one in Figure 1 below. If a proper outlet is not available,
follow the illustrations of Figure 2 & 3 to install a temporary-grounding
plug. This temporary work-around should be used only until a proper
outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualied electrician. When and if
this type of adapter is employed, screw the adapter’s extended tab into
place with a metal screw. However, grounding adapters are not approved
for use in Canada. Again, be sure to check the grounding pin for damages
and replace if necessary. The Green, or Green-Yellow, wire in the cord is
the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to
only the grounding pin.
Parts and Service
Please contact service personnel or authorized Service Center using
original replacement parts and accessories for repairs. When calling
for support please have your Model and Serial Number available
for faster assistance.
Name Plate
The Model and Serial Number are located on the lower half of the back
of the machine near the power plugs and will be required for ordering
replacement parts. You can use the space provided on the front of this
manual to record both for future reference.
Unpacking the Machine
When your new machine is delivered, please carefully inspect both the
shipping carton and the machine for damages. If damage is evident,
save both the shipping carton and the machine for inspection by the
shipping company. Contact the carrier immediately to le a freight claim
if there is damage.
