SET UP AND OPERATION
ELECTRICAL
Plug cord(s) in to 20 AMP grounded wall outlets. 20AMP circuits are normally found in kitchens and bathrooms. Never
remove ground prong from from plug. If a circuit breaker trips during operation, turn machine off, reset the breaker and
move the electrical cord to a different outlet and resume operation.
PUMP SYSTEM
Fill the solution tank and prime the pump (200 psi model only)
-Turn the Auto Prime lever on (Vertical). Auto Prime lever is located on the backside of the machine near the left
power cord.
-Turn on a vacuum motor and cover vacuum inlet for 5-10 seconds.
-Remove hand from inlet and turn the Auto Prime lever off (Horizantal)
-Turn solution pump on and pump should be primed. If pressure does not rise repeat process.
VACUUM SYSTEM
The extractor uses a two vacuum motor system that provides outstanding water lift and air flow. The extractor can be used
with one motor for cleaning delicate fabrics or both motors for carpet cleaning and water extraction.
Automatic Vacuum Shut Off:
The float assembly shut off, located in the recovery tank on the vacuum stand pipe, pre-
vents the waste tank from overflowing into the stand pipe and damaging the vacuum motors. The float assembly will cut
off vacuum to the waste tank. When this happens immediately turn off the vacuum motors and empty the waste tank.
The float assembly will also prevent lint and debris from entering the vacuum motors. It is necessary to clean the screen
frequently to maintain maximum vacuum.
It is also necessary to use low foaming chemicals or a defoamer to eliminate foam build up in the recovery tank and dam-
age to the vacuum motors. If moisture does enter the vacuum motors it is necessary to WD-40 the motors. Remove the
float assembly from the stand pipe and turn on both vacuum motors. Spray a five second burst of WD-40 into the stand
pipe and continue to let the vacuum motors run for three minutes.
