This is an introduction on the use of the Polivac Predator Carpet Extraction unit.
Directions for Use( please refer to picture as well in next page)
1. Connect 240v extension cable from power source to #1 power socket on unit. Connect other
240V extension cable #7 power socket( only available in MK3, MK3 Auto & MK2 Auto)
2. Now connect the Male end of solution hose to Female solution outlet on the
front of the unit.( FIGURE 1)
3. Connect the Female solution end to the Male fitting on the trigger of the
steam cleaning wand. ( FIGURE 2)
4. Ensure dump valve and booster inlet are closed, if these are not in use.
5. Fill machine with either cold or hot water. We always recommend pre-spraying the carpet rather
than use of Chemical solutions and powders run through the machine, for a number of reasons, 1st
this gives better results as the chemical has had time to “work” on the carpets, 2nd when you extract
with fresh water, you remove more chemical residue which prevents re-soiling and chemical build up.
Finally it extends the life of your pump, the use of high alkaline chemicals can cause premature failure
not covered by warranty. NEVER USE FLAMABLE LIQUIDS OR SOLVENTS IN THE
STEAMCLEANER
6. The heater switch can now be selected and as power is connected the switch
will light up RED and this will commence the heater working. `
7. Water is now being heated up.

9) Dirt water will steadily suck in to the machine with vaccum motors working. once dirt water reaches the
optimum level in the recovery tank, whole machine will stop. This optimum level is controlled by a float
switch installed in the recovery tank.
10) customer should push all round buttons to off position and should empty the dirt water tank before
bring the machine back to operations.
11) No need to follow step # 10 for MK2 Auto & MK3 Auto as these varities will automatcally empties the
recovery tank using auto empty pump installed in the machine.
12) MK2 auto and MK3 Auto has a monel screen installed in the recovery tank in order to stop finer dirt
goes in the auto empty pump. it is important to clean this monel screen regularly to run the auto
empty function efficiently.
