I MPORTANT SAFETY I NSTRUCTI ONS
This machine is only suitable for commercial use, for example in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops
and offices other than normal residential housekeeping purposes.
When using any electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
NOTE: Read all instructions before using this machine.
WARNI NG!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
•Do not leave the machine unattended when it is plugged in. Unplug the unit from the outlet when not
in use and before servicing.
•To avoid electric shock, do not expose to rain or snow. Store, and use, indoors.
•Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.
•Use only as described in this manual. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
•Never add water over 130º F/54º C to the solution tank.
•Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the machine is not working as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
•Protect the cord. Do not: use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around
sharp edges or corners. Do not run the machine over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated
surfaces. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
•Do not handle the plug, the cord or the machine with wet hands.
•Extension cords must be 12/3 and no longer than 50 feet. Replace the cord or unplug immediately if
the ground prong becomes damaged.
•Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair,
and anything that may reduce air flow.
•Keep loose clothing, hair, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
•Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes, or any
health endangering dusts. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or
use in areas where they may be present.
•Turn off all controls before unplugging.
•Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
•Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.
•Liquid ejected at the spray nozzle could be dangerous as a result of its temperature, pressure, or
chemical content.

I NSPECTI ON:
Carefully unpack and inspect your KING COBRA-1200 for shipping damage. Each machine is tested and
inspected before shipping. Any shipping damage incurred is the responsibility of the carrier. You should
notify the carrier immediately if you notice damage to the box or to the machine or parts.
CLEANI NG SOLUTI ONS:
Select a proper pre-spray for the surface to be cleaned, and apply the pre-spray. Use a neutral pH rinse
or detergent (6 to 10 pH) in the King Cobra to prevent premature wear of the pumps, seals, and other
components. Damage caused by the use of improper or harsh chemicals is not covered by warranty. Powders
are not recommended.
MAI NTENANCE:
For optimum performance, flush the machine with clear water at the end of each working day. Once a
month, minimum, run a flushing compound through the machine to break up any mineral or chemical
build-up that may have formed. The vacuum motor, pump motors, and the pumps do not require any
scheduled maintenance; however, the motors may require replacement brushes after 1000 - 1500 hours,
and the high pressure pump and unloader valve may require rebuild kits after 500 -1000 hours (refer to
machine part list for numbers). Clean the body with an all purpose detergent, and protect it with an
automobile interior polish. Lubricate the wheels, castors, and quick disconnects with an all purpose silicone
spray.

1) This light will turn on to indicate the your two power cords are plugged into two circuits. If this light
does not turn on, keep trying outlets with one of the cords until you get the green light to turn on.
Running the machine with out a green light may cause a circuit breaker in the wall to trip.
2) This selector switch determines whether you will use the 1200 psi pump or the heater. You can select
either, but not both. The heater will only work with the 150 psi pump. The center positon is OFF, and
neither the high pressure pump or the heater is turned on.
3) This switch turns the vacuum motor ON and OFF.
4) This switch turns on the low pressure pump for cleaning upholstery or carpet. Turn the selector
switch (# 2) to heat if you want to clean with hot water.
5) This switch turns on the automatic pump-out.
OPERATI ON
LOW PRESSURE
1. Before each use, inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tools for cleanliness and completeness.
Make sure hoses are in good condition and the spray nozzle(s) is tight.
REFER TO THE AUTO-FI LL AND AUTO-DUMP I NSTRUCTI ONS ON THE FOLLOWI NG PAGES
2. If you choose to use the auto-dump, connect the dump hose to brass hose fitting on the back of the
machine, and place the open end of the hose in a drain. Otherwise, just make sure the brass cap is on the
hose connector. Make sure the recovery tank drain hose is closed, and the lid is tight on the recovery tank.
3. If you choose to use the auto-fill feature, connect the fill hose to the auto-fill connector (located over the
solution tank fill hole). Turn on the water source, and allow the tank to fill with water. When using the
auto-fill system, the auto-fill float will automatically turn on and turn off as the tank empties and then fills.
https://harrissupplyind.com-ToOrderPartsCall608-268-8080

NOTE: If you are not going to use the auto-fill system, just fill the tank with water and cleaning
chemical. Follow chemical directions regarding dilution and mixing. Do not use harsh chemicals; they
may damage seals in pumps and valves, and cause the pump to wear prematurely.
NOTE: Never use water with a temerature exceeding 130
°
F / 54
°
C.
4. Use a pump-up sprayer to pre-spray the area to be cleaned while the tank is filling. Follow chemical
directions.
5. Connect the solution hose (from the reel) to the low PSI quick disconnect on the front of the base of the
machine. Connect the vacuum hose from the center of the reel to the hose barb on the recovery tank.
Connect the vacuum hose on the reel to your cleaning tool.
6. Plug in the two power cords on separate circuits. Do not connect both cords to the same outlet. The green,
‘separate circuit’ locator light (1) on the switch plate should light up. If the locator light does not come on,
check the circuit breaker box in the wall, and/or try different outlets until it does turn on. Although all
systems in the machine may work correctly if you are not on two circuits, a circuit breaker in a wall panel
may trip. If you make sure the green light is turned on, you will prevent tripped ciruit breakers.
7. Turn on the heat by placing the HIGH PRESSURE/HEAT selection switch (2) in the DOWN position.
NOTE: The high pressure pump and the heat can not operate at the same time. NOTE: this switch is off
when it is set to the middle position and neither the heat or the high pressure pump is selected.
8. Turn on the 150 PSI “demand” pump (4). NOTE: the ‘demand’ pump will not run until pressure is
released.
9. Spray for a few seconds to fill the lines with solution. Wait two minutes to allow the heater to reach
temperature.
10. Begin cleaning. It may take several cycles to heat the lines and the cleaning tool.
11.If you are not using the autofill and autodump features, turn off the pump and vacuum when the solution
tank gets low, fill the solution tank, and empty and clean the recovery tank.
12.When finished with the job, turn off the water source. Vacuum the remaining solution from the holding
tank into the recovery tank. Run a few gallons of clean water through the system. Drain the recovery
tank by placing the drain hose over a drain or into a bucket and removing the cap. When the tank is
empty, cap the drain hose and place it back in the velcro holder.
13. Use defoamer to prevent foam, which could result in damage to your vacuum motor.

C.
4. Pre-spray the area to be cleaned, with a pump-up sprayer, while the tank is filling. Follow chemical
directions.
5. Connect the solution hose (from the reel) to the 1200 PSI Quick Disconnect on the front of the tank,
below the switch plate.
6. Plug in the two power cords. Do not connect both cords to the same outlet. The green, ‘separate
circuit locator light (1) on the switch plate should light up. If the locator light does not come on, check
the circuit breaker box in the wall, and/or try different outlets until it does turn on. Although all systems
in the machine may work correctly if you are not on two circuits, a circuit breaker in a wall panel may
trip. If you make sure the green light is turned on, you will prevent tripped ciruit breakers. Turn on the
high pressure pump by placing the HIGH PRESSURE/HEAT selection switch (2) in the UP position, to
select the High Pressure Pump. NOTE: The high pressure pump and the heat can not operate at the
same time. NOTE: this switch is off when it is set to the middle position and neither the high
pressure pump or the heater is selected.
8. Prime the 1200 psi pump using the ‘power prime’ system: turn on both the pump and the vacuum,
cover the hole in the hose barb with your hand, then depress the Power Prime Pedal. This will pull trapped
air through the pump and into the recovery tank, priming the pump. You will notice a ‘tone’ change from
the pump (smoother, with less of a rattle), and the water being pulled into the recovery tank will
change to a clear, solid stream. Priming may take 20 - 60 seconds and will require a full solution tank.
When the pump is primed, release the Power Prime Pedal, and turn off the pump and the vacuum.
Depress the Power Prime Pedal once again, for a moment, to release the line pressure. Proceed to the
next step.
9. Use defoamer to prevent foam, which could result in damage to your vacuum motor.
