GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING METHODS
This self-contained extractor must be properly grounded. If it should mal-
function or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for elec-
trical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug.
The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer sur-
face that is green with or without stripes is the grounding wire.
This unit is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounded plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in (Fig. A). A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in (Fig. B&C) may be used to connect the
plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in (Fig. B) if a properly grounded out-
let is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded out-
let (Fig. A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green color rigid
ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a per-
manent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of elec-
tric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the
appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified elec-
trician.

Shipping and Damage
This equipment is thoroughly inspected, tested, and packaged to provide equipment in good operating condition. It is beyond
our control after the equipment is turned over to a freight carrier. The freight carrier received and signed for the equipment in
good condition. Consequently, it is most important to protect your interest by carefully complying with the following instructions:
Please inspect your cartons for any damage (including concealed damage) that might have occurred during shipment. Any
damage is the responsibility of the freight carrier and should be reported to the freight carrier immediately. It is your responsi-
bility to issue a claim and to receive compensation from the freight carrier for any damage done in transit. Damage of this sort is
not warranted.
Follow these easy step by step instructions to insure proper operating performance.
1. Anyone designated to operate this equipment must, without fail, read and thoroughly understand all instructions
and precautions prior to use.
2. Never use equipment out of doors or in the rain.
3 . Open machine by pulling out the two spring loaded pins at the rear of the machine. Open slowly and detach vacuum
hose at bottom of vacuum tank to inspect the internal workings of the machine. This will expose the vacuum motors,
pump and electrical components. Check the wiring to ensure that nothing has been dislocated or shaken loose during
shipment. If damage has occurred during transit, follow the steps outlined under "shipping". Regular inspection
of these components is advised to avoid damage to the equipment or personal injury. Close the machine by replacing
vacuum hose to bottom of vacuum tank and gently close and re-latch with spring loaded pins.
4. Insert cord end into a dedicated and grounded 20 amp. wall socket. Also, attach vacuum and solution hoses to
appropriate connections on the machine and cleaning wand. As this procedure is followed, always inspect hoses for
cracks or fraying. Failure to do this can result in damage to the equipment and/or serious personal harm or death.
Defective or damaged parts must be repaired or replaced by an authorized repair center before equipment can
be safely operated.
5. Mix hot water and approved extractor detergent in a clean bucket and carefully fill solution tank in front of machine.
Do not overfill!
6. Turn pump to "on" position. Hold lever on wand open until fluid begins to flow.
7. Never use flammable or explosive materials in or around this equipment!!!
8. When vacuum tank is full, empty by using drain valve at rear of machine. If a pail is used to empty the vacuum waste
tank, do not use the same pail to fill the solution tank as this can result in putting dirt and grit into the solution line
that can plug filters, orifices, and generally degrade the solution line system.
9. To empty solution tank, detach the wand from the end of the vacuum hose and insert the vacuum hose into the
solution tank. Turn the vacuum switch to "on" position and transfer solution to vacuum tank and dispose of as
outlined in #8. Clean vacuum stack filter at this time.

Maintenance
To receive reliable service from this equipment, regular daily maintenance is a requirement. Fabric cleaning, both carpet and
upholstery, are very dirty environments for any equipment. The following recommendations are offered.
I . Keep the equipment clean, both inside and out.
2. Lubricate brass quick disconnects and drain valves with a quality lubricant such as WD-40.
3. Flush solution systems weekly with clear, clean water. (A white vinegar solution may also be used).
This will counter-act hard water and alkaline deposits and aid in keeping orifices clean.
4. Do not allow fluid either in solution or waste tank to sit overnight. The unit should be emptied and cleaned daily.
5. Clean the strainer in the solution tank, the filter on vacuum stack in vacuum tank and the lint filter in the
inlet or vacuum tanks daily.
6. Do not use the same receptacle (bucket) to fill solution tank that is used to remove waste from vacuum tank.
7. When the unit is not in use, leave the vacuum tank lid open.
8. At the end of each day, run the vacuum for 3 minutes with lid open and filter off.
Safety Precautions
These precautions are designed with the safety of the operator, the equipment, and others in mind and must be followed at all
times to avoid serious personal harm and/or death, and damage to the unit.
1. Always use a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Always disconnect electric cable from electrical outlet before attempting to make any adjustments or repairs.
3. Never use this equipment as a toy.
4. Never use equipment near or around flammable or explosive materials, fuels, or solvents.
5. Never put flammable materials, fuels, or solvents into equipment.
6. Never lift the machine by the drain valve. To lift the machine, use the built in handle on the front of the unit and the
handle/cord wrap at the rear of the unit.
7. Do not allow the unit to freeze!
8. The equipment was not designed to be used outdoors or in the rain.
9. Do not operate in standing water.
10. Wear safety equipment and clothing to protect from extremely hot water.
11. Do not operate equipment under any unsafe condition.

12. Do not operate if power cords, hoses, etc. are cracked, frayed, leaking, or otherwise in need of repair.
13. Common sense is a powerful force in protecting the operator, the equipment and others from serious damage
injury and/or death.
Storage of Equipment
1. Store extractor with the cord wrapped around the handle.
2. Recovery and solution tank should be empty and clean when the extractor is not in use.
3. Leave the recovery lid and dump valve open to air out the recovery tank.
4. Do not store in freezing temperature.
5. A small amount of windshield washer fluid available at an auto supply may be left in the pump and internal solution line for
protection against freezing.
Warnings
1. Do not break off or pull the grounding prong on the plug.
2. Do not attempt repair on a warrantied machine unless instructions to perform it by an authorized shop
are obtained from the factory.
3. Do not use citrus-based cleaners in this machine.
4. Do not use cleaning chemicals in this machine except those recommended for steam-type extraction equipment.
The use of any chemicals with abrasive additives voids the warranty.
5. Do not use any replacement parts except those specified on the parts list. Performance of the machine
could be affected if substitutions are made.
6. Do not use water in excess of 140° F (62° C) through the pump system. It could damage the seals and
polyprophene casing of the diaphram pump.
7. Follow maintenance schedule strictly.
8. Failure to comply with the above warnings instructions will void the warranty.
