turingofthisextractorhave passed rigidquality control standards priorto assembly,and
an "each unit" final inspection prior to packaging is your assurance of proper assembly.
This extractor was protectively packed to prevent possible damage in transit. Should

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
GROUNDING:
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator
from electric shock. The extractor is equipped with an approved
three-conductor cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fit the
proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow)
conductorin the cord isthe grounding wire. Neverconnect the green
(or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
If your unit is for use on less than 150
volts, it has a plug like that shown in
Figure A.
If it is for use on 150 to 250 volts, it has a
plug like that shown in Figure D.
An adapter (Figures B&C) is available for connecting Figure A plugs
to two-prong receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear,lug etc.,must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box. No adapter is available for a plug as shown in Figure D.
Adapter shown in Figure B & C is not for use in Canada.
EXTENSION CORDS:
Machines that have 3 wire cords requiring grounding must only be
used with extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs
and 3-pole receptacles. Use only three wire #14 or larger gauge
extension cord. The maximum recommended extension length is 40
feet.
Before using an extension cord,inspect it for loose or exposed wires,
damaged insulation and defective connections.
CAUTION
Always disconnect power cable from outlet
when working on this machine.
WARNING
To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, the extractor must be
grounded during use. Plug the electrical power cord into a
grounded wall receptacle (120 volts, 60 Hz only). Do not oper-
ate the machine on an ungrounded building circuit or if the
ground lug has been removed from the power cord plug. If the
building receptacle does not have ground connection, use an
adapter as shown in figure B.

ABOUT THE MACHINE
MOTOR:
This extractor is equipped with a three-stage, 14 amp, motor which
develops 117” waterlift and 97 CFM. The pump motor is a
diaphragm-type with 100 PSI pump pressure.
Prior to first use, flush the machine out thoroughly with clean water
to remove antifreeze from the pump to avoid staining the carpet.
Do not pump gasoline or flammable liquid.
TO OPERATE:
1. Pour defoamer into the recovery tank and carpet cleaner into the
solution tank per the chemical manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Press the vacuum motor switch “on.”
3. Pull the extractor backward over the carpet surface while acti-
vating the “Intermittent”switch on the control console. Release
the “intermittent”switch about one foot from the end of the
cleaning pass to insure complete solution recovery.
4. Push down on the handle and roll the extractor forward for the
next cleaning pass.Overlap each pass about 2-3 inches.
BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (SC400 & SC600)
Adjust the brush height by turning the black knob located above the
vacuum pick-up on the front of the extractor. Clock-wise to raise
brush and counter-clockwise to lower brush. A properly adjusted
brush will sweep the top of the carpet. Setting the brush too deep
may cause damage to the carpet.
CONTINUOUS BRUSH & PUMP SPRAY SWITCHES
For long cleaning passes, you may use the continuous brush and
pump spray switches instead of the “Intermittent”switch. Be sure to
turn both switches OFF approximately one foot from the end of your
cleaning path.
DOUBLE AGITATION
For heavily soiled traffic areas, make two cleaning passes with your
machine as follows:
1.Turn vacuumswitch OFF,pullthe extractorbackward overthe car-
petsurface while activating the“IntermittentBrush andPump Spray”
switch.
2.Return to original position,turn vacuum switch ON,pull the extrac-
tor backward over the carpet surface while activating the “intermit-
tent Brush and Pump Spray”switch.
HAND TOOL:
The hand tool is connected to the vacuum and solution hose assem-
bly and is used to clean new/old spills from carpet/vinyl floors. It is
also used to clean furniture and upholstery.
WAND:
The wand is used to clean small areas of carpet/vinyl floors when
connected to the vacuum and solution hose assembly.
