NOTE: Do not use adapters shown in figures B & C in Canada
The Pacific DELUXE 15 Carpet Extractor Machine is built from highly durable polyethylene and is intended for commercial use.
The solution tank holds 15 gallons and the recovery tank holds 13 gallons. A 12-inch, two jet, high pressure wand with 15 feet
each of solution and vacuum hoses is provided.
The DELUXE 15 is designed with a variable pressure pump that can generate up to 250 psi to deep clean carpets without
damaging fibers.
The heavy-duty three-stage vacuum motor on the DELUXE 15 is capable of 137 inches of water lift. This thoroughly extracts the
dirty solution from the carpet fibers and reduces the drying time.
DELUXE 15 machines are designed for easy maneuvering by one person. They have large 10” diameter rear wheels and front
swivel casters. The machine is 21” wide x 28” long x 35” high and weighs just 80 pounds.
The DELUXE 15 is built with a hinged tank that provides easy access to internal components for servicing.
This machine 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 machine is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be in-
serted 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 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 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 electrician. 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
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only three-wire 14/3 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 identical replace-
ment parts.

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
1. You must have training in the operation of this machine before using it.
2. Always use a separate circuit for the heater (other than the one used by the extractor) before attempting use.
3. Do not operate the heater until the solution system is pressurized with cleaning solution.
4. Always shut the heater off when solution is not circulating through the system.
5. Make sure the pump is continuously running when the heater switch is on.
6. Machines can cause an explosion when near flammable materials and vapors. Do not use this machine with or near fuels,
grain dust, solvents, thinners, or other flammable materials.
7. Do not operate this machine unless it is completely assembled.
8. Do not use this unit for dry pick-up of dust or debris. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches or hot ashes.
9. To prevent electric shock, always remove the electrical plugs from the electrical outlets before doing any repairs or mainte-
nance to this machine.
10. To prevent injury, always remove the electrical plugs from the electrical outlet before leaving the machine.
11. Maintenance and repairs must be done by authorized personnel only.
12. Do not immerse. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use only on carpet moistened by the cleaning process. Protect the
machine from rain. Keep the machine in a dry building. Always clean the machine with a clean dry cloth.
13. Always use a three-wire electrical system connected to the electrical ground. For maximum protection against electrical
shock, use a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Consult your electrical contractor.
14. To prevent damage to the power cord, do not move this machine over the power cord. Always lift the power cord over the
machine. Do not pull or carry cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
15. Make sure all switches are turned off before plugging or unplugging it power cord into/from a wall receptacle.
16. Do not use water that is hotter than 60°C (140°F).
17. To prevent damage to the solution system components do not store in freezing temperatures without proper maintenance.
18. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.
19. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the machine is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors,
or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
20. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
21. Do not handle the plug or machine with wet hands.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3

PRESTART-UP CHECKS
DELUXE 15 models are very simple and easy to operate.
Very little maintenance and service are required to keep your
machine in top operating condition.
The following procedures are recommended to maintain the
high level of performance expected from your machine. They
are also intended to identify potential safety hazards and
problems which could reduce the service life of the machine.
READ BEFORE OPERATING YOUR MACHINE:
1. Check power cord, plug and strain relief for worn or
damaged insulation (for both the machine and heater if
applicable). Repair or replace if necessary.
2. Make sure the drain hose is plugged and placed in its
storage position on the back of the tank.
3. Inspect the vacuum head on the wand for any damage.
Burrs on the contact surface may snag carpet fibers.
Gouges, scratches and chipped areas can reduce
vacuum performance.
4. Check the inlet strainer for damage or debris. It is
located at the bottom of the fresh water (solution) tank.
Holes in the screen can allow contaminants to enter the
pump resulting in costly repairs. A clogged strainer will
reduce pump performance and may cause permanent
damage.
5. Unscrew the clear round plastic cover on top of the
recovery (vacuum) tank.
a) Inspect the cover and gasket for damage. Dirt
or debris on the gasket or sealing surface of
the tank can cause a vacuum leak and reduce
vacuum performance.
b) The float assembly consists of a screen and
ball shut off to protect the vacuum motor. To
remove it twist the assembly from the white
vacuum tube. Then clean the screen of debris.
It should be checked periodically for any dam-
age and replaced when necessary.
Replace the cover, making sure it is securely in place.
OPERATION
The following procedures are intended to describe and de-
tail proper operation of your machine. Failure to follow these
recommended procedures can reduce the machine’s perfor-
mance and may result in damage to the machine.
1. Vacuum the area to be cleaned. Your machine will do a
more thorough job if the loose dirt and debris are re-
moved before the extraction process begins.
2. Fill the fresh water tank (lower tank) with up to 15
gallons of hot water and cleaning chemical. Do not use
water hotter than 60°C (140°F). Mix in chemicals ac-
cording to the chemical manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions. Powdered chemical must be premixed with water
before pouring into the solution tank.
3. Use of an extension cord is not recommended. How-
ever, if one is necessary, use only a 14 gauge or larger
cord. Smaller or inferior cords are dangerous and may
cause damage to your machine.
4. Connect the wand assembly and hoses to the machine.
The 3/8-inch solution hose simply inserts into the quick
connect located on the front of the machine. The vacuum
hose slides over the tube located on the front of the
recovery (upper) tank.
5. If the machine is equipped with a heater, the power cords
must be plugged into two separate 20 amp grounded
outlets of the correct voltage. See Grounding Instruc-
tions.
6. The control panel is located on top of the recovery
tank, near the handle and contains the following:
a) The pump switch should be turned on first. The
solution pump is self-priming and completely fills
the system. A priming valve is located in the solu-
tion fill opening to aid in priming.
b) The solution pressure is adjustable with the knob
located on the front of the machine (next to the
solution hose outlet). You can adjust the pressure
up to 250 psi; taking under consideration the con-
dition of the carpet (i.e. the type and how dirty it
is).
PREPARATION AND OPERATION

SERVICING
c) Turn on the heater if hotter solution is desired.
NOTE: The pump must be ON when the heater is
ON.
d) Turn ON the vacuum switch. You may now begin
the cleaning process.
7. Depressing the valve trigger on the wand will allow the
solution water to flow.
8. Foaming may occur as dirty solution is recovered. Ex-
cessive foaming can be counteracted with liquid de-
foamer (follow the chemical manufacturers directions).
Do not allow foam to rise into or near the float assembly
in the recovery tank. Use defoamer or empty and flush
the recovery tank.
9. When finished cleaning, turn off the heater, vacuum
and pump switches.
10. Always drain the recovery tank after each use; simply
pull the plug from the tote hose on the back of the tank
and drain. Dispose of the recovered water properly.
11. To drain the solution tank, attach the optional drain or
“pump out” hose (part number 204172) to the acces-
sory quick connect on the front of the machine. Place
the open end of the hose into a bucket and turn on the
pump switch. When empty, turn off the pump switch
and remove the hose from the quick connect.
12. All switches should now be OFF, unplug the power
cord(s) from the electrical outlet before doing any clean-
up.
13. After each use clean the cover, float assembly and gas-
ket. Do not reinstall the cover until the next use, this
will allow the recovery tank to dry out.
The DELUXE 15 extractors are designed and manufactured to provide years of trouble free service with a minimum of maintenance
and service. The following recommendations are intended to assist the operator and Service Technician in performing routine
maintenance.
Failure to follow these recommendations can result in damage to your machine and diminished performance.
Warning: Always unplug your machine before performing any service. Severe personal injury could result if the electrical
power is not disconnected.
1. Always follow through with the recommended prestart-
up checks found in the Preparation and Operation sec-
tion of this manual.
2. Store your machine in a dry, protected area. Do not
expose this machine to rain, standing water or freezing
temperatures.
3. We recommend a good, thorough cleaning after each
use.
a) Clean the cover, float assembly and gasket.
b) Clean out the recovery tank with fresh water mak-
ing sure all deposits or debris are removed.
c) Check and clean the inlet strainer in the solution
tank periodically with clean water. Make sure the
strainer is properly in place to protect the pump.
d) Wipe the machine down with a damp cloth.
4. The jet tips and strainer/check valves on the wand will
need cleaning after repeated use. First remove the jet
caps, then the jet tips and strainer/check valves. Soak
them in vinegar until visible deposits are dissolved, then
scrub with a soft bristle brush. Reassemble.
Jet tips and strainer/check valves should be replaced
once a year because they tend to erode under extended
use.
5. AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER SHOULD PER-
FORM SERVICE TO THE PUMP AND VACUUM
MOTOR. The tank is hinged to provide easy access to
the internal components.
Additional service information is available from your
local Pacific Distributor or through our Technical
Service Department.
