DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE UNTIL YOU HAVE READ
THIS SECTION.
IMPROPER USE WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
•Always use a defoamer when foaming occurs to prevent vacuum motor damage.
•Never use water above 134ºF (54ºC).
•Do not use outdoors or where temperature is below freezing. Protect your machine
from any extremes in temperatures.
•Do not let pump run dry. Turn the pump off and refill the tank when cleaning
solution gets low.
•Flush the machines with acid de-scaler regularly (monthly or more often) to prevent
a build-up of minerals or chemicals in the pump, lines and heat system. Follow the
flush with a clear water rinse to remove any particles and to rinse the acid from the
machine.
•Use approved chemicals only. All chemicals should be mixed thoroughly. Liquid
chemicals are recommended to prevent powder buildups. A pH between 6 and 9 is
highly recommended. The use of high alkaline detergents or strong acids will
accelerate the wear of the pump and seals, and will void the warranty.
•All extension cords must have a rating of at least 12/3 (#12 cord). Extension cords
should be no longer than 50 feet (15 m). Replace the plug immediately if the
ground prong becomes damaged or is broken off.

MACHINE OPERATION
1. Inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tools for cleanliness and completeness.
2. Fill the solution tank with warm water. Using warm water may be a benefit in cleaning effectiveness, but
do not use hot water above 130ºF (54ºC) in the tank. Add liquid cleaning solution with a pH value of
between 6 and 9. High pH detergents and/or acid rinses will accelerate the wear of the seals and will void
the warranty.
CAUTION: Use of the "Heat" switch when the cords are on the same circuit may cause the circuit breaker in
the wall to trip.
3. Plug in the power cords. Do not connect both cords to the same outlet; the circuit locator light on the
switch plate should light up. If the locator light does not come on, try different outlets until it does. If you
are certain the cords are on separate circuits, turn the heat switch on.
NOTE: The cord with no red sleeve powers the Heat Exchanger. The cord with the red sleeve powers the
vacuums and pump.
4. Connect the priming hose to the machine, turn the pump on and prime the air out of the pump. When the
water is clear (no air in it) turn the pump off and remove the priming hose.
NOTE: Priming may take 20 - 60 seconds.
5. Add liquid cleaning solution, with a pH of between 6 and 9, to the solution tank.
6. Attach the spray hose to the solution quick disconnect and the vacuum hose to the hose barb on the
recovery tank. Attach the other ends of the hoses to the cleaning tool.
7. Allow the heat exchanger two minutes to reach operating temperature.
8. Turn the pump on. Select carpet or upholstery. Turn the vacuum on.
9. Begin cleaning.
10. Use defoamer in the recovery tank any time foaming occurs.
11. Monitor water level in the solution tank. Do not let the pump run dry.
12. When the solution tank gets low, turn the pump and the vacuum off, fill the solution tank, empty and clean
the recovery tank.
13. When finished with the job, remove any unused solution from the solution tank, and run a few gallons of
clean water through the system. Plug in the cords. Do not connect both cords to the same outlet. If you
are certain the cords are on separate circuits, turn the "Heat" switch on.

6
BALL FLOAT VACUUM SHUT-OFF
Prior to using the machine, always check that the float filter is clean and the ball can travel freely. When the
recovery tank is full, the ball float will rise and will shut off the vacuum flow to prevent any more water from
entering the tank. Turn off the vacuum, and empty the recovery tank.
NOTE: If foam is present, or if the ball float is prevented from rising, the float will not be able to stop the air
flow, and the tank may over fill.
CAUTION!
To avoid vacuum motor damage, always make sure the float filter is clean and the ball can travel freely prior
to using the machine. And always use a defoamer when foaming occurs.
ELECTRIC CIRCUIT LOCATOR
This unique, patented system is operated by a solid state circuit. It will inform the operator when the two
cords are plugged into separate circuits by turning on the circuit locator light (see 1 on switch plate). This
helps to prevent tripping circuit breakers.
NOTE: If the circuit locator light does not illuminate when the cords are plugged in, then both cords are on
the same circuit. Try other outlets with one of the cords until you get the locator light to come on.
NOTE: If the heat switch (2 on switch plate) is turned on when both cords are on the same circuit, the breaker
will trip.
