CRITICAL SAFETY INFORMATION & CAUTIONS
The acceptable use of this machine is for
commercial/professional cleaning, for example, in
hotels, schools, hospitals, and offices, rather than
for personal housekeeping.
NOTE: Read all instructions before using this
machine. Improper use or misuse of the machine
can result in personal injury or property damage.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property
damage, follow these procedures:
•Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.
•Do not operate the machine in an explosive
environment.
•Do NOT use Solvents.
•Never add water over 120F/ 49C to the
solution tank.
•Do not pick up anything that is burning or
smoking, such as cigarette, 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.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•To avoid electric shock, do not expose to rain or
snow and keep from extremes in temperature.
Store in a heated location. Use the machine
indoors. Do not use outdoors.
•Do not use this machine to dry vacuum before
wet cleaning.
•Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the
machine is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors or flooded with
water, return it to a service center.
•Do not leave the machine unattended when it is
plugged in. Unplug the unit from the outlet when
not in use and before servicing.
•Use only as described in this manual. Use only
the manufacturers recommended attachments.
•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 plug immediately if
the ground prong becomes damaged.
•Do not put any object into opening. Do no 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.
•Liquid ejected at the spray nozzle could be
dangerous as a result of its temperature,
pressure, or chemical content.

YOUR NEW MACHINE:
SmaK Products thoroughly tests every machine it
sells before it is packaged. When you receive your
new machine, examine the packaging for signs of
shipping damage. Carefully unpack the machine
and inspect it. If you see evidence of damage to
the container or the contents, contact the freight
carrier immediately.
Additionally, ensure all parts and accessories are
present; if you notice anything missing, contact
your distributor without delay.
SYSTEM FEATURES:
HEAT: The Stallion 10.0 100H has a built-in
heater for the solution. An ON/Off switch
activates the heater. If you prefer to clean
without the added effectiveness of heat, simply
do not turn on the heat switch.
VACUUM: The dual vacuum motors provides an
excellent ratio of water lift to air movement (see
specs, page2).
PUMP: The pump is a ‘demand’ style – it only runs
when there is demand for spray. This feature
increases the life of the pump.
CHEMICALS:
The use of powder chemicals is discouraged;
unless they are mixed very thoroughly and rinsed
out completely at the end of the job, powdered
cleaners could cause a build-up in the pump,
lines, heater and/or quick disconnect. Any
problem caused by a chemical build-up is not
covered by warranty.
If foaming occurs as you clean, use a defoamer,
either in the recovery tank or on the area being
cleaned, to prevent overflow which can cause
water damage to machine components.
The use of clear water in the machine is
recommended, within the application of
properly diluted cleaner as a pre-spray on the
area to be cleaned; however, you may mix
water and cleaning chemicals in a bucket --
according to directions on the chemical label --
and then pour into the solution tank. If you
chose to use chemicals in the machine, always
use a cleaner with a pH as close to neutral as
possible to avoid premature wear of the pump,
seals, and/or other components. Damage
caused by the use of strong chemicals is not
covered by the warranty.
TOOLS & ACCESSORIES:
Use only manufacturer’s recommended tools and
accessories. If the spray valve on your cleaning
tool begins to leak or if the spray tips get worn
and are no longer providing a nice even spray
pattern, order replacements from your
distributor.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
For continual peak operation, clean the internal
plumbing by rinsing with clear water at the end
of each job. About once a month, rinse the
machine with a commercial flushing compound
to break-up any mineral or chemical
accumulation that may have formed from the use
of hard water or chemicals.
The vacuum motor and the pump do not require
any scheduled maintenance; however, the
vacuum motor may require replacement brushes
after 750-1000 hours.
To help maintain a professional image; clean the
exterior of the machine with an all purpose
detergent, and protect it with automobile interior
polish. Lubricate the wheels, castors, and quick
disconnects with an all purpose, silicone spray.

SET-UP AND OPERATION:
1. Before each use, inspect the machine, hoses,
and cleaning tool for cleanliness and
completeness, Ensure the spray nozzles on
the cleaning tool are tight and that the ball
float in the recovery tank is clean and
operational.
2. Close the clear, screw-on lid on the recovery
tank, and screw the cap onto the drain hose.
3. Fill the holding tank with clear water.
NOTE: the heater on this machine is designed to
provide nearly instant hot water for cleaning; if
you use warm water in the solution tank it would
increase heater proficiency. Never use water
above 120F or 49C in the solution tank.
4. Turn off all the switches. Plug the power cord
into a properly grounded outlet.
5. Connect the solution hose and the vacuum
hose to the machine and to the cleaning tool.
6. Turn the pump ON and spray through the tool
for a few seconds to fill the heater and lines
with fluid.
7. Turn the heat switch ON and wait two
minutes for the heater to reach operating
temperature.
NOTE: The pump will run only while you are
spraying.
8. Pre-spray the area to be cleaned with the
detergent of your choice.
NOTE: If you choose to add a detergent to the
solution tank, be sure to mix well, and always
follow the use & dilution instructions on the
chemical label. Use a chemical with a pH between
5 and 10 to reduce the likelihood of premature
wear to the pump and other seals.
9. Turn on the vacuum.
10. Begin cleaning, following industry accepted
practices.
NOTE: Use defoamer any time foaming occurs in
the recovery tank to prevent damage to the motor
or other components.
NOTE: Foam will not lift the ball float.
12. Monitor the water level in the solution tank.
Do not let the pump run dry.
13. When the solution tank gets low, turn off the
pump and vacuum, fill the solution tank,
empty and clean the recovery tank.
14. When finished with the job, remove any
unused solution from the solution tank, and
run a few gallons of clean water through the
system. Drain the recovery tank by opening
the drain hose over a drain or a bucket.
Release any residual pressure from the
cleaning tool before disconnecting the hoses
from the cleaning tool.
AUTO VACUUM SHUT OFF:
When the recovery tank is full, the ball float will
shut off the suction to prevent the machine from
overflowing. NOTE: The float may not work if
there is too much foam in the tank. Always use
defoamer to prevent overflow.
HEAT SYSTEM:
The heater holds a small amount of water, so to
maintain hot water for the entire cleaning job,
spray for short periods and then stop spraying
during a recovery stroke. Continuous spraying
will prevent the water from pausing long enough
in the heater to get hot.
