GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
CMPS 86290230 02/22/07 2-
3
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.
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
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 120-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
wire 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.
GROUND-FAULT CIRCUIT-INTERRUPTER
PROTECTION
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 nearfield,
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 measurement and related calculations were made in accordance with ANSI
S3.34-T986. 3-1

HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
CMPS 86290230 02/22/07
3-2
The Compass™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, strainer and check valve. The
clean water tank stores water until it is delivered
to the tools. The strainer protects the check
valve and 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. The spray gun is an adjustable Hi-Lo
that applies clean water and chemical to the
surface being cleaned.

OPERATIONS
CMPS 86290230 02/22/07
3-8
Care must be exercised in the use of all
chemicals. Chemicals are poisonous and
can pose a health risk. Read and follow
manfacturers instructions regarding
dangers and correct usages.
The internal parts of the pump used in the
machine are suitable for use with most carpet
cleaning chemicals. But they are susceptible to
chemical attack from some cleaning
substances, such as hydrocarbon solvents and
chlorinated bleaches. These non-compatible
materials are not of the type used for carpet
cleaning.
Only use chemicals approved for use with this
machine. Use of non-compatible chemicals
may cause machine damage and will not be
covered under the warranty. Carefully read
ingredients on manfacturer’s label before using
any product in this machine.
Do not let pump run dry.
Do not let pump run unattended.

MAINTENANCE
CMPS 86290230 02/22/07
1. FLOAT SHUT-OFF
The float shut-off is located inside the
recovery tank. The purpose of the float
shut-off is to notify the user that the
recovery tank is full. Remove daily and
clean any debris for maximum airflow.
2. STRAINER
The strainer is located on the lower right
side between the front and rear wheels.
The strainer protects the check valve and
pump from debris. If there is little or no
solution flow to the ground, check the
stainer for debris. Drain the solution tank
and clean the solution strainer. To remove
the strainer, turn the bottom part of the
strainer counterclockwise until the bottom is
separated. Clean out the debris from the
wire mesh and reassemble. Make sure the
o-ring gasket is in place when reassembled.
3. CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Circuit breakers interrupt the flow of power
in the event of an electrical overload. When
a circuit breaker is tripped, reset it by
pressing the exposed button. If a circuit
breaker continues to trip, the cause of the
electrical overload should be found and
corrected.

Carbon
Brushes
If armature commutator is grooved, extremely pitted or not
concentric, the motor will need to be replaced or sent to a
qualified service center.
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.
Periodically check the length of the carbon brushes. Replace
both carbon brushes when either is less than 3/8" (9.5mm)
long.
