IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precaution
must always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE.
This machine is for commercial use.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
Connect to a properly grounded outlet. See Grounding Instructions.
Do not leave the machine unattended. Unplug machine from outlet when not in use and before
maintenance or service.
Use only indoors. Do not use outdoors or expose to rain.
Do not allow machine to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near
children.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended components and
attachments.
Do not use damaged electrical cord or plug. Follow all instructions in this manual concerning grounding
the machine. If the machine is not working properly, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
dropped into water, return it to an authorized service center.
Do not pull or carry machine by electrical cord, use as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord
around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run machine over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not unplug machine by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the electrical plug, not the electrical cord.
Do not handle the electrical plug or machine with wet hands.
Do not operate the machine with any openings blocked. Keep openings free of debris that may reduce
airflow.
This machine is intended for cleaning carpet only.
Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
This machine is not suitable for picking up health endangering dust.
Turn off all controls before unplugging.
Machine can cause a fire when operating near flammable vapors or materials. Do not operate this
machine near flammable fluids, dust or vapors.
This machine is suitable for commercial use, for example in hotels, schools, hospitals,
factories, shops and offices for more than normal housekeeping purposes.
Maintenance and repairs must be done by qualified personnel.
If foam or liquid comes out of machine, switch off immediately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
CLIPPER 98630 12/14/98

THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.
ELECTRICAL:
In the USA this machine operates on a standard
15 amp 115V, 60 hz, A.C. power circuit . The amp,
hertz, and voltage are listed on the data label found
on each machine. Using voltages above or below
those indicated on the data label will cause serious
damage to the motors.
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 appliance 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 115-volt
circuit, and has a grounded plug that
looks like the plug in “Fig. A”. A temporary 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 colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adaptor must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it
must be held in place by a metal screw.
Improper connection
of the equipment-
grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric 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 electrician.
!
WARNING:
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is no
t
p
ermitted by the Canadian Electrical Cod

Select continuous setting to start
solution spray or select intermittent
setting to enable use of trigger
switches to start solution spray.
The intermittent setting requires the
operator to hold any one of the
three trigger switches in the “on”
position with the fingers, and is
typically used in small areas where
short cleaning passes are made.
The continuous setting allows the
operator to set the switch in the “on”
position with one touch, and is
typically used in large areas where
long cleaning passes are made.

MAINTENANCE
CLIPPER 98630 10/19/02 16
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.
Periodically inspect all hoses, electrical cables
and connections on your machine. Frayed or
cracked hoses should be repaired or replaced
to eliminate vacuum or solution pressure loss. If
the cable insulation is broken or frayed, repair
or replace it immediately. Don’t take chances
with electrical fire or shock.
DAILY / REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Before making any adjustments or repairs to
the machine, disconnect the power cord from
electrical source.
1. Empty unused cleaning solution from the
solution tank.
2. Inspect and clean filter screen in solution
tank.
3. Flush pumping system with 4 or 7 liters 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 1-10 bleach to
water solution. Waste water should be
disposed of properly.
5. Check for and remove any lint or debris
around vac shoe.
6. Check spray jets for full spray pattern.
7. Remove lint and dirt build-up from brush
and housing.
NOTE: Brush removal.
A. To remove brush, grab and pull brush
out from end opposite drive belt
(operator’s right). Remove other end
from brush driver.
B. To install brush, line up slots in brush
core with pin in driver on drive belt side
(operator’s left) and push brush onto
driver. Then snap bearing end (opposite
end) of brush into retaining clip.
8. Check cooling air screen (located on frame
behind left wheel) for lint or debris.
9. Check float and shut-off screen and clean
as necessary.
NOTE: Always store machine with brush in
“Store” position.

WARNING: The green
ground wire must be
attached for safe
operation.
See wiring diagram.
Note: When replacing carbon vac motor brushes
loosen wire terminal BEFORE removing screws on
bracket.
Important:
These brushes wear quicker
as the length shortens due to
increased heat.
Spring inside brush
housing will damage motor
if brushes are
allowed to wear away
completely.
If armature commutator is not concentric, extremely
pitted, or grooved the motor will need to be replaced
or sent to a qualified service center to restore vac
performance.
Periodically check the length of the carbon brushes.
Replace both carbon brushes when either is less
than 3/8" long.
