This is an introduction on the use of the Polivac Predator Carpet Extractor unit.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1. Connect 240v extension cable from power source to #1 power socket on unit. Fig #1
2. Now connect the Male end of solution hose to Female solution outlet on the
front of the unit. Fig #2
3. Connect the Female solution end to the Male fitting on the trigger of the
steam cleaning wand.
4. Ensure dump valve and booster inlet are closed, if these are not in use. Fig # 3 & 4
5. Fill machine with either cold or hot water. We always recommend pre-spraying the carpet
rather than use of Chemical solutions and powders run through the machine, for a number
of reasons, 1st this gives better results as the chemical has had time to “work” on the
carpets, 2nd when you extract with fresh water, you remove more chemical residue which
prevents re-soiling and chemical build up. Finally it extends the life of your pump, the use of
high alkaline chemicals can cause premature failure not covered by warranty. NEVER USE
FLAMABLE LIQUIDS OR SOLVENTS IN THE STEAMCLEANER
Fig #1
6. The heater switch can now be selected and as power is connected the switch
will light up RED and this will commence the heater working. `
7. Water is now being heated up.
8. Connect the vac hose to the domes nose and the other end to the wand end.
You are now ready to clean!!

OPERATING THE POLIVAC PREDATOR
Now you have set the unit up according to the previous instructions it is time to engage the unit
completely.
Turn on the pump switch (3) and Vac 1 (4) and Vac 2 (5) as per Fig #1.
The machine will now be ready to work.
Set the required pressure by turning the pressure control valve (Fig #2); Clockwise motion will
increase water pressure and adversely counter clockwise will result in decreasing pressure.
Pressure gauge will reflect all movements of the pressure control but only while wand trigger is
engaged.
You are now able to commence work.

POLIVAC PREDATOR PRESSURE GAUGE
POLIVAC PREDATOR BOOSTER INLET.
Figure 1 shows booster inlet in the closed position
Figure 2 shows inlet opened to connect the vac hose and booster box.
Inlet opens by hand only and will close itself after use.
This gauge shows the operator what
pressure the water is hitting the
surface at. The Predator has a range of
0 - 500psi.
The recommended carpet cleaning
pressure is 350psi - 400psi . (Adjusting
past this doesn’t provide a better
cleaning results, instead just causes
unnecessary wear on wand triggers.)
Recommended upholstery tool
pressure is 150psi.
