Carpet Extractor Machine
Operations Manual & Trouble Shooting Guide

This is an introduction on the use of the Polivac Predator Carpet Extraction unit.
Directions for Use
1. Connect 240v extension cable from power source to #1 power socket on unit. Fig #1
2. Now connect the Male end of solution hose to Female solution outlet on the
front of the unit. Fig #2
3. Connect the Female solution end to the Male fitting on the trigger of the
steam cleaning wand.
4. Ensure dump valve and booster inlet are closed, if these are not in use. Fig # 3 & 4
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. ` Fig #1
7. Water is now being heated up.
8. Connect the G Vac hose to the domes nose and the other end to the wand end.
You are now ready to clean!!

This is an introduction on the use of the Polivac Predator Carpet Extraction unit.
Operating the Polivac Predator
Now you have set the unit up according to the previous instructions it is time to engage the unit
completely.
Turn on the pump switch (3) and Vac 1 (4) and Vac 2 (5) as per Fig #1.
The machine will now be ready to work.
Set the required pressure by turning the pressure control valve (Fig #2); Clockwise motion will
increase water pressure and adversely counter clockwise will result in decreasing pressure.
Pressure gauge will reflect all movements of the pressure control but only while wand trigger is
engaged.
You are now able to commence work.

5
Polivac Predator pressure control
1. Pressure increase/decrease regulator tap.
2. Solution outlet (for connection to high pressure hose).

6
Polivac Predator Dump Valve
To release captured waste water lift handle as shown in diagram.
Water will drain & then depress the handle down to reseal.

7
Polivac Predator pressure Gauge
This gauge shows the operator what pressure the water is hitting the surface at. The Predator has a
range of 0 - 500psi.
The recommended carpet cleaning pressure is 350psi - 400psi . (Adjusting past this doesn’t provide a
better cleaning results, instead just causes unnecessary wear on wand triggers.)
Recommended upholstery tool pressure is 150psi.

8
Polivac Predator Booster inlet.
Figure 1 shows booster inlet in the closed position
Figure 2 shows inlet opened to connect the vac hose and booster box.
Inlet opens by hand only and will close itself after use.

5. Vac motors
No maintenance can be done but use Antifoam to prevent chemical and water entering motors and
causing faults.
Troubleshooting Fault Remedy
1. No Power to unit
Check power cable and power from source
2. Heater not working
Check pump/heater switch (Fig #1 #2) is switched to heater and not pump
3. Pump not working
Check pump/heater switch (Fig #1 #2) is switched to pump and not heater check thermal reset button
(Fig #1 #7) and depress to engage.
4. No water coming from floor tool
Check pump is running

Check floor tool jets for blockage
Check water tanks filter for blockage
