GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 120V
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE ONLY
ELECTRICAL: In USA this machine operates on a 15 amp nominal 120V, 60 hz, A.C.
power circuit. The amp, hertz, and voltage are listed on the data label found on each
machine. Using voltages above or below those indicated on the data label will cause
serious damage to the motors.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord that has
an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
For use on a nominal 120 volt circuit with a grounded plug that looks like the plug in
FIGURE A. A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor in FIGURE C may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in FIGURE B, if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (FIGURE A) can be installed by a qualied electrician. The green colored
rigid ear, lug or similar that extends from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it
must be held in place by a metal screw.
WARNING
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor
can result in 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.
EXTENSION CORDS: It is recommended to only use the supplied power cord. However,
when the use of an extension cord is unavoidable, use only three-wire 12/3 or larger
gauge approved extension cords that have threeprong grounding type plugs and three-pole
receptacles that accept the machine’s plug. Replace or repair any damaged cords or plugs.
SAFETY LABEL LOCATION: If at any time the safety labels become illegible, contact your

APPLICATION ON DIFFERENT FLOORS
Carpet Cleaning
Vacuum the carpet thoroughly before cleaning.
Large dirt particles are removed, allowing the
application to be more effective.
Apply solution while moving forward.
Clean by going forward and backwards 2
to 3 times, while applying solution on the
rst pass in order to keep the drying time
low. Depending on soil level and nature of
the carpet, this process can be shortened
or extended. As required, carpets can be
vacuumed again after cleaning.
Cleaning Hard Floors
Remove dust and coarse dirt from the surface
before cleaning. Choose a suitable pad
according to the application. Place the pad
in the center of the driver. Gently lower the
head on to the oor. Moving forward and
backwards while adding water to the surface.
Use cleaning solution as needed. Depending
on soil contamination and oor type, this
process can be shortened or extended.
OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Machine
Clean the machine and bearing with a soft cloth and aneutral pH cleaner. Regular cleaning
of the bearing is required to prevent build up that will cause it to seize up.
Changing the Driver Grip Face
Remove the 10 outer screws that fasten the grip face disc on the driver plate. To save time,
use an electric screwdriver with a #3 Phillips head bit.
WARNING
The #3 Phillips head bit is slightly larger than standard size. It is important that you are
using a #3 Phillips head bit, as smaller bits can damage the screw heads and produce
sharp edges which can damage the cleaning pads. Attach a new grip face disc to the
driver plate using the 10 screws.
Make sure that the screws are very tight, not loose. If the screws are too loose, it can cause
damage to the grip face disc. Ensure that the 4 holes in the middle of the grip face disc
are aligned with the screws located on the driver plate. An exact alignment allows an easy
removal and installation of the driver plate.
