
Usingthistoolwithotherequipment
Thistoolwillworkwithportableortruckmountedextractors,butthewaterrecoverymaybebetterwithhigher
poweredextractorswithmoreairflow.Theextractorsolutionpumpmustprovideaminimumof700psiofwater
pressurewithaflowrateofatleast1.5gpm(GallonPerMinute).At1000psitheflowratemustexceed2.0gpm
andat1500psitheflowratemustexceed3.0gpm.
Therecommendedpressurefortooloperationis700to1200psi.
Set‐upProcedure
1. InstalltheHardBootorBrushringonthetool.
2. Connectthevacuumhosefromyourextractortothevacuumpipeonthetoolhandle.A2”cuffwillfit
overthepipe,a1‐1/2”cuffwillfitinsidethepipe.
3. Connectthesolutionhosefromtheextractortothequickconnectonthevalveassembly.
4. Turntheextractoron.Adjustthewaterpressuretothedesiredvalue.Minimumpressure:700psi.
Maximumpressure:1500psi.
5. Adjustthevacuumreliefslideforbestrecoveryandeaseofmovement.
BasicCleaningProcedure
Removeallfurniturefromtheareayouaregoingtoclean.Sweeporvacuumthefloortoremovedustandgrit,
piecesofglass,sand,etc.

Itisimportantforyoutoshowutmostcareforyourclient’shomeandfurnishings.PlaceCornerGuardswhen
movingyourhosesaboutandusefurnitureskiddersorfloorguardsformovingheavyappliances.Noteanyplaces
whereothersurfacesborderthefloor.Carpet,cabinets,delicatewallcovering,orpaintedsurfacesneedtobe
protectedfromalltypesofoverspray.Cautionandcareinsprayingisgenerallysufficient,butmaskingoruseofa
sprayshield(likethoseusedbypainters)workswellandmaybenecessaryinhigh‐riskareas.Useremovable
painter’stapetoavoiddamagetowoodfinisheswhenmaskingisremoved.Ifthepre‐spraysareoversprayedon
thecarpettheycansimplyberinsedusingyourcarpetwand.
Selectanappropriatepre‐sprayandapplytothefloor.Usually,a5minuteorlessdwelltimeisideal.Excessive
dwelltimemayactuallyretardthecleaningprocessbysoakingindeeperandrequiringmoredryingtimebefore
sealing.Youcouldinadvertentlybeginaprocessofefflorescencebyover‐wetting.Avoidlettingthepre‐spraydry
onthefloorbyextractingwithinthefiveminutetimeframe.Forgreatestefficiency,ahelpercanassistyouby
sprayingthreetofiveminutesaheadasyouextract.Beginbygoingoverlargeareaswiththetool.Recommended
pressureis700to1500psi.Itisusuallyeasiesttomoveatamoderaterateforwardandbackward.Youneedonly
overlapenoughtoassurecompletecoverage.Movingtoofastwillcreateaspiralpatterninthegroutortile.Slow
downsothispatterndoesnotoccur.Useairmoverswhereyouhavejustextractedtogetthegroutdryasquickly
aspossible,especiallyifyouplantosealthegroutthesameday.
