RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. WARNING: Do not attempt to operate until you have read thoroughly
and understand completely all instructions, rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure to comply
can result in accidents. Save Owners Manual and review frequently for continuing safe operation
and instructing possible third-party user.
2. WARNING - TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN - STORE INDOORS.
3. This cleaner should be operated only on 100 or 120 volts at 60 cycles.
4. RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUND
PRONG. For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped
with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard it
must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. lf a mating wall receptacle is
not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly
,grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
5. The power cord should always be disconnected from the electrical outlet before the recovery tank
is emptied, the solution tank is refilled or the cleaner is serviced in any way.
6. DO NOT store this cleaner in an area which may reach freezing temperatures. Should this occur,
DO NOT operate this cleaner until it has been at room temperature for at least (2) hours.
7. DO NOT use any cleaning solution or chemicals other than those discussed in this manual.
8. DO NOT pick up combustible materials such as gasoline, solvents, hot coals, or live sparks.
9. NEVER allow children to operate cleaner, nor should they play with cleaner as a toy.
10. This cleaner contains a suds-sensitive float system which shuts off the suction when the wateror
suds picked up by the cleaner reaches a certain level in the upper container. When the suction is
shut off , to continue your cleaning, turn of f the cleaner, empty upper container, wipe suds from
float system and continue cleaning. When a highly sudsy solution is being vacuumed up, the
float system will activate by the suds level and not the water level; therefore, if the amount of
water in the container does not appear to be a large quantity, do not be alarmed, the float is
working properly. The use of Formula #2 (defoamer) will reduce or eliminate this condition.
11. lf your cleaner is accidently turned over while you are cleaning, the float may activate and shut
off the suction. lf this occurs, set the cleaner upright, turn the power switch "off" and let motor
come to a complete stop: then turn switch back "on" to continue cleaning.
12. For maximum efficiency, empty container frequently and keep inside of hose, wands, nozzle and
container clean.
13. DO NOT overwet carpet or upholstery. lf three or more cleaning strokes are required, let the
carpet or upholstery material dry and then repeat cleaning process.
14 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Page 2
