INTRODUCTION
The SELF CONTAINED EXTRACTOR is a fully self-contained, portable carpet extractor system and is intended for
commercialuse. Awandwithexternalvacuum andsolutionhoses arenot necessary withyour machine, butavailable.
TheSELF CONTAINED EXTRACTOR hasa 100 psi solution pump anda four (4)jet spraying system located onthe
bottom side of the machine to apply solution to the carpet.
A rotating brush (16”) is driven by a cogged belt system at approximately 1200 RPM’s. This brush provides a very
aggressive agitation of the solution into the carpet fibers to loosen ground-in dirt. The chevron pattern of the brush
bristles channels the dirty water to the center of the aluminum vacuum head for better extraction.
Theheavydutythree-stagevacuummotoriscapableof 137inchesofwaterlift. YourSELFCONTAINEDEXTRACTOR
extracts virtually all of the dirty solution from the carpet fibers, which dramatically reduces drying time.
TheSELFCONTAINED EXTRACTORis very“userfriendly” machines. All controlsare located atthetop ofthehandle
grips,literally atyour fingertips. The recovery tank drainvalve islocated highenough for the recovered solutionto be
drainedinto a five (5) gallon bucket or bathroom toilet.
TheSELFCONTAINEDEXTRACTORis balanced onlarge10"diameterwheels for easeofoperationandtransporting.
Themachines can be rotated 360°withrelative ease, even when filledwith solution.
The location of the wheel axle and the large diameter wheels allows for easy transporting up and down
steps when empty. It is not recommended these machines be transported up or down steps while contain-
ing any liquid in either the solution or recovery tanks.
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
currenttoreducetheriskofelectricshock. Thismachineisequipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and ground-
ing plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor 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 provided with
the machine - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a
grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A
temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in figures B
and 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 adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (figure A) can be installed by a qualified electri-
cian. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is
used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted
by the Canadian Electrical Code
EXTENSIONCORDS
Use only three-wire 12/3 or larger gauge approved extension
cords that have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole
receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug. Replace or repair
any damaged cords or plugs.
When servicing, refer to authorized person only. Use only identi-
cal replacement parts.
