GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING METHODS
This extractor must be properly grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro-
vides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
machine is equipped with 1 or 2 pigtail cords having an equipment-grounding conductor and
grounding plug. The pigtails must be inserted into an appropriate 12 gauge 3 prong extension cord.
This unit is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a
grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in (Fig. A).
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug pro-
vided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.

General instructions for upright extractors
Congratulations on your purchase of an upright extractor. You are now equipped to handle any and all commercial carpet clean-
ing jobs. .
Shipping and Damage
This equipment is thoroughly inspected, tested, and packaged to provide equipment in good operating condition. It is beyond
our control after the equipment is turned over to a freight carrier. The freight carrier received and signed for the equipment in
good condition. Consequently, it is most important to protect your interest by carefully complying with the following instructions:
Please inspect your cartons for any damage (including concealed damage) that might have occurred during shipment. Any dam-
age is the responsibility of the freight carrier and should be reported to the freight carrier immediately. It is your responsibility to
issue a claim and to receive compensation from the freight carrier for any damage done in transit. Damage of this sort is not
warranted.
Follow these easy step by step instructions to ensure proper operating performance.
1. Fill up the fresh water solution tank with tap water that is
120-135 degrees and approved carpet cleaning chemical
if you are not pre-spraying your chemical on the carpet.
2. Attach two 12 gauge extension cords (NOT INCLUDED)
(one cord for non-heated models) to each of the pigtail
cords located on the lower backside of the unit. The red
pigtail powers the heater while the black pigtail powers
the vacuum motors and pump.
3. Plug each extension cord into a separate and grounded
20 amp wall socket circuits, when this is accomplished
the green indicator light will be lit (on heated models).
4. Attach the hose system to the unit and to your carpet
wand.
5. Turn on the heater and the pump to the "on" position,
(only pump on non-heated models) when the heater is on
the orange indicator light on the switch panel will be lit.
6. With the solution line attached to the wand and the
machine, prime the pump by squeezing the trigger on the
wand releasing the water (hold wand tip over solution
tank to put water back into solution tank). This will
pump water into the heater and get any air out of the
solution line. Let the heater heat up this will take
3 to 5 minutes. *Prime pump on 400 p.s.i. models
with prime hose (included).
7. Turn vacuum switches to the "on" position one at at time
to begin cleaning.
8. Anyone designated to operate this equipment must,
without fail, read and thoroughly understand all
instructions and precautions prior to use.
9. Never use equipment out of doors or in the rain.
10. Never use flammable or explosive materials in
or around this equipment!!!
11. When vacuum tank is full, empty by using drain hose at
rear of machine. If a pail is used to empty the vacuum
waste tank, do not use the same pail to fill the solution
tank as this can result in putting dirt and grit into the
solution line that can plug filters, orifices, and generally
degrade the solution line system (do not reuse solution).
12. To empty solution tank, detach the wand from the end of
the vacuum hose and insert the vacuum hose into the
solution tank. Turn the vacuum switches to "on" position
and transfer solution to vacuum tank and dispose of as
outlined in #11. Clean vacuum stack filter at this time.

Maintenance
To receive reliable service from this equipment, regular daily
maintenance is a requirement. Fabric cleaning, both carpet
and upholstery, are very dirty environments for any equipment.
The following recommendations are offered.
1. Keep the equipment clean, both inside and out.
2. Lubricate brass quick disconnects and drain valves with
a quality lubricant such as WD-40.
3. Flush solution systems after use with clear, clean water.
(A white vinegar solution may also be used). This will
counter-act hard water and alkaline deposits and aid
in keeping orifices clean.
4. Do not allow fluid either in solution or waste tank to sit
overnight. The unit should be emptied and cleaned daily.
5. Clean the strainer in the solution tank, the filters on the
vacuum stack in vacuum tank and all lint filters in the
inlet or vacuum tanks daily.
6. Do not use the same receptacle (pail) to fill solution
tank that is used to remove waste from vacuum tank.
7. When the unit is not in use, leave the vacuum tank lid
open.
8. At the end of each day, run the vacuum for 3 minutes
with lid open and filter off.

2. Recovery and solution tank should be empty and clean
when the extractor is not in use.
3. Leave the recovery lid and dump valve open to air out the
recovery tank.
4. Do not store in freezing temperature.
5. A small amount of windshield washer fluid available at an
auto supply may be left in the pump and internal solution
line for protection against freezing.
Warnings
1. Do not break off or pull the grounding prong on the plug.
2. Do not attempt repair on a warrantied machine unless
instructions to perform it by an authorized shop are
obtained from the factory.
3. Do not use citrus-based (D-Limonene) cleaners in this
machine.
4. Do not use cleaning chemicals in this machine except
those recommended for steam-type extraction equipment.
The use of any chemicals with abrasive additives voids the

on the parts list. Performance of the machine
could be affected if substitutions are made.
6. Do not use water in excess of 140° F (62° C) through
the pump system. It could damage the seals and
polyprophene casing of the diaphram pump.
7. Follow maintenance schedule strictly.
8. Failure to comply with the above warnings
instructions will void the warranty.
