Safety
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL
USE ONLY.
Electrical
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.
Extension cords
If an extension cord is used, the wire size must be at
least one size larger than the power cord on the
machine, and must be limited to 50 feet (15.5m) in
length.
Grounding Instructions:
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion 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 ordi-
nances.
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.
Grounding Instructions (120V ONLY)
Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter
Protection (120V ONLY)
This pressure washer is provided with a (GFCI) built
into the plug of the power supply cord. This device
provides additional protection from the risk of electric
shock. Should replacement of the plug or cord become
necessary, use only identical replacement parts that
include GFCI protection. If the GFCI is not the
AUTOMATIC RESET TYPE, it must be manually
TESTED and RESET each time the cleaning system is
plugged in. Press firmly to assure internal spring
activates switch. Push "test" then push "reset". Motor
will not start if GFCl does not reset. Check circuit
breakers or outlet. If circuit breaker is not tripped and
unit will not reset, contact local service center.

SPECIAL NOTES:
The sound pressure level at 1m from the machine was measured to be 79 dBA. This was a near field, broadband
measurement taken in a typical industrial environment on a tile floor. This appliance contains no possible source of
impact noise. The instantaneous sound pressure is below 63 Pa.
The weighted root mean square acceleration at the operator's arms was measured to be below 2.5m/s2. This was
a tri-axial, third-octave-band measurement made during normal operation on a composite tile floor. The measure-
ment and related calculations were made in accordance with ISO 5349-1.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
Cet appareil n'est pas prévu à l'usage des personnes (enfants y compris) avec des possibilités physiques, sensori-
elles ou mentales réduites, ou le manque d'expérience et de connaissance, à moins qu'ils aient été donnés la
surveillance ou l'instruction au sujet de l'utilisation de l'appareil par une personne chargée de leur sûreté. Des
enfants devraient être dirigés pour s'assurer qu'ils ne jouent pas avec l'appareil.

Operations
How The Machine Works
The Compass 2™ is a multi-functional cleaning
machine intended for commercial use. The appliance
applies chemical at low pressure and uses high
pressure to clean with. Then the soiled water is
vacuumed back into the recovery tank.
The machine's primary systems are the clean water
system, recovery system, chemical system and
pressure washer system.
The function of the clean water system is to store clean
water and deliver it to the available tools. The clean
water system consists of the clean water tank and
strainer. The clean water tank stores water until it is
delivered to the tools. The strainer protects the pump
from debris.
The function of the recovery system is to vacuum the
soiled water back into the recovery tank. The recovery
system consists of the wand and wheeled squeegee,
vacuum motor, float shut-off and recovery tank. The
wand and wheeled squeegee wipes the dirty solution
off the floor. The vacuum motor provides suction to
draw the dirty solution off the floor and into the recovery
tank. The float shut-off protects the vacuum fan from
over filling. The recovery tank stores the dirty solution.
The function of the chemical system is to dispense
chemical into the clean water system. The chemical
system consists of the chemical reservoir, chemical cap
and a chemical-metering selector. The chemical
reservoir stores and dispenses chemical into the clean
water system. The chemical-metering selector meters
the amount of chemical and selects between chemical
A or B and turn chemical off.
The function of pressure washer system is to clean
fixtures and other surfaces. The pressure washer
system consists of a pump, high-pressure hose and
spray gun. The pump delivers cleaning solution to the
tools. The high-pressure hose connects the pump to
the spray gun.

Operations
Filling The Machine
Do not put defoamer, solvents spotter or prespray
chemicals in the solution tank
1. Always use gloves and eye protection. Never spray
solution towards people.
2. To fill Use fill hose or pour directly into solution
tank. Use COLD WATER. Add 1 ½ oz of Compass-
Rinse TM to each full solution tank.
3. Attach the adapter cap and intake hose to the
Compass 2TM Chemical bottle. Refer to the
Compass 2TM Chemical Label for the desired
dilution.
4. Position the Compass 2TM machine in the door
way, lock front casters. Start at furthest point in the
room and work towards the door.

Operations
5. Always Spray chemical using low pressure.
6. Use brush or grout tool for heavy soiled areas.
7. Turn Chemical off. Pressure clean by rinsing
surfaces at high pressure.
8. Use Squeegee or Gulper tool to remove standing
water.
86398820 Operator Manual CMPS2

Operations
9. Store and secure hoses and tools neatly.
10. Drain machine at proper disposal areas. Use
pressure gun to rinse and clean recovery tank.
11. From the factory your Compass 2 is set to spray at
600 psi (high pressure) and 200 psi (low pressure
w/chemical injection). To lower pressure turn the
unloader valve knob counter clockwise. The valve
is accessed from below the machine through a
hole in the bottom frame. Only turn the valve a
maximum of three revolutions.
NOTE: Lowering the pressure in this way will reduce
both of the high pressure and low pressure setting
simultaneously.
