INSPECTION
Carefully unpack and inspect your extractor for shipping dam-
age. Each unit is operated and thoroughly inspected before ship-
ping, and any damage is the responsibility of the carrier, who
should be notified immediately.
ELECTRICAL
This extractor operates on a standard 15 amp 115 volt AC cir-
cuit. *Voltages below 105 volts or above 125 volts could cause
serious damage to motors. Wiring diagram is mounted inside
handle control panel of machine.
*Special voltage models avail-
able.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock:
1. Use indoors only.
2. To reduce risk of fire, do not use volatile substances.
3. Use only cleaners intended for carpet application.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This ap-
pliance 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.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has
a grounded plug that looks like the plug in “Fig. A”. A tempo-
rary adaptor that looks like the adaptor in “Fig. C” may be used
to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in “Fig. B”,
if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
(Fig. A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green col-
ored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adaptor must
beconnected to a permanent ground such asa properly grounded
outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held
in place by a metal screw.

run machine on carpet to check for belt slippage - move rearward to
tighten belt.
DAILY / REGULAR MAINTENANCE.
1. Empty unused cleaning solution using clear plastic hose located
on lower back of solution tank.
2. Inspect and clean filter screen in solution tank.
3. Flush pumping system with 1 or 2 gallons of clean, hot water.
4. After each use, rinse tank with fresh water. Periodically inspect the
recovery tank and decontaminate if necessary, using a Hospital
Grade Virucide or a l-10 bleach to water solution. Waste water
should be disposed of properly.
Rinse recovery tank with clean water.
5. Check for and remove any lint or debris around brush and vac.
shoe.
6.
Check spray jets and clean solenoid valve if required.
NOTE: Always store machine with brush in “Store” position.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Twice a month, flush a white vinegar solution (One quart vinegar
to two gallons of water) or anti-browning solution (mixed as
directed) through the extractor. This will prevent build-up of
alkaline residue in the system.
If spray jets become clogged, remove the spray tips, wash them
thoroughly, and blow dry.
NOTE: Do not use pins, wire, etc. to clean nozzles as this could destroy
spray pattern.
If spray jets drip after the pump is turned off, solenoid valve may
need to be cleaned.
Apply silicone lubricant to solution nipple.
Periodically inspect all hoses, electrical cables, filters and con-
nections on your machine. Frayed or cracked hoses should be
repaired or replaced to eliminate vacuum or solution pressure
loss. Because the electrical cable must be well insulated and cable
connector screws kept tight, If the cable insulation is broken or
’ frayed, repair or replace it immediately. Don’t take chances with
electrical fire or shock.
PROTECT FROM FREEZING
If it becomes necessary to store in temperatures that could drop below
40 F, the pumping system, hoses and valves must be protected from
freezing with a methyl hydrate window washer antifreeze solution. Do
not use ethylene glycol or cooling system antifreezes.
1.
2.
Add a gallon or two of window washer antifreeze to the supply
tank, turn on pump switch and spray until the antifreeze solution
fills the solution lines.
Drain out the leftover antifreeze from the supply tank. Always
allow the unit to reach room temperatures before filling with
hot water or operating.
