INTRODUCTION
This is a carpet and upholstery spot cleaning extraction machine
which, via the high pressure spray pump and strong vacuum system
can clean many types of carpet and fabric surfaces.
The machine must be used only for this purpose.
Even the best machines will only work well if used correctly and
kept in good working order. We therefore suggest you read this
instruction booklet carefully and re-read it whenever difficulties
arise while using the machine. Please contact our technical service
department or your dealer if you have any questions about
the machine.

MACHINE OVERVIEW
1. SYSTEM FEATURES
HEAT: The FiberPRO® 2.5H has a built-in heater. A switch at the rear of the machine will turn the heater on or off.
VACUUM: The vacuum motor provides an excellent ratio of water lift to air movement. Surfaces should dry
quickly if not over-wetted while cleaning.
SOLUTION PUMP: The pump is a ‘demand’ style system. It only runs when there is a demand for spray. This feature
increases the life of the pump.
2. CHEMICALS:
The use of clear water in the machine is recommended, with the application of properly diluted cleaner as a pre-spray on
the area to be cleaned. However, you may mix water and cleaning chemicals in a bucket, according to the directions on the
chemical label, and then pour into the solution tank. If you choose to use chemicals in the machine, always use a cleaner with
a pH as close to neutral as possible to avoid premature wear of the pump, seals, and other components. Damage caused by
the use of strong chemicals is not covered under warranty. The use of powder chemicals is discouraged unless they are mixed
very thoroughly and rinsed out completely at the end of the job. Powder cleaners could cause a build-up in the pump, lines,
heater, and quick disconnects. Any problem caused by chemical build-up is not covered by warranty.
If foaming occurs as you clean, use a defoaming agent in the recovery tank only. This will prevent foam overflow which can
cause water damage to machine components.
3. TOOLS & ACCESSORIES:
Use only manufacturer’s recommended tools and accessories. If the spray valve on your cleaning tool begins to leak or if the
spray tips get worn and are no longer providing a nice even spray pattern, order replacements from your distributor.
4. CARE & MAINTENANCE
For continual peak operation, clean the internal plumbing by rinsing with clear water at the end of each job. About once a
month, rinse the machine with a commercial flushing compound to break up an mineral or chemical accumulation that may
have formed from the use of hard water or chemicals.
The vacuum motor and the pump do not require any scheduled maintenance. However, the vacuum motor may require
replacement brushes after 750 – 1000 hours of use.
To help maintain a professional image, clean the exterior of the machine with an all-purpose detergent such as Betco Green
Earth Peroxide Cleaner. The exterior can further be protected with Betco Brite MSP polish. Lubricate the wheels, casters, and
quick disconnects with an all-purpose silicone spray.

MACHINE OPERATION
1. INSPECT THE MACHINE
Before each use inspect the machine, hoses, and cleanliness and completeness.
Ensure the spray nozzles on the cleaning tool are tight.
2. REMOVE RECOVERY TANK
Release the two latches on the side of the machine, grasp the handle on top of
the recovery tank, and pull the recovery tank up and off the solution tank. Set
the recovery tank aside.
3. FILL SOLUTION TANK
Fill the solution tank with clean water. The heater on the H series is designed
to provide nearly instant hot water for cleaning. If you use warm water in the
solution tank it will increase the heaters efficiency.
Never use water above 120° F (49° C) in the solution tank.
Replace the recovery tank back onto the solution tank and secure both latches.
4. SAFELY PLUG IN MACHINE
Turn off all the switches. Plug the power cords into properly grounded outlets.
5. CONNECT HOSES
Connect the solution hose and the vacuum hose to the machine and to the
cleaning tool. Turn on the pump switch and depress the trigger on the tool for a
few seconds to fill the heater and lines with water.

MACHINE OPERATION
6. TURN ON HEAT SWITCH
If hot water is desired for cleaning, turn on the heater switch and wait two minutes for the heater to reach operating
temperature.
7. PRE-SPRAY AREA
Pre-spray the area to be cleaned with the appropriate Betco® cleaning detergent. If you choose to add a detergent to the solution
tank, be sure to mix well and always follow the use and dilution instructions on the chemical label. Use a Betco cleaning detergent with a pH between 5 and 10 to reduce the likelihood of premature wear to the pump and other seals. If excess foaming
occurs, use Betco defoamer to prevent damage to electrical components. Water damage to the vacuum motor is not covered by
the warranty.
8. BEGIN CLEANING
Once all of the switches are turned on, squeeze the trigger on the tool and pull the hand tool in a backward motion. Release the
trigger a few inches before finishing the stroke to ensure he vacuum shoe will pass over the wet area. Then push the tool in a
foward motion back over the same clean path to remove and residual water. Continue in this manner until the entire area has
been cleaned.
9. MONITOR WATER LEVELS
Montior the water level in the solution tank. Do not let the pump run dry. When the solution level gets low, turn off the pump
and vacuum, refill the solution tank, and empty the dirty water from the recovery tank. The machine has a suction shut-off float
in the recovery tank to prevent overflow. If the suction stops, turn off the machine, remove and empty the recovery tank.
10. FINISHING THE JOB
When finished with the job, remove any unused solution from the clean water tank and run a few gallons of clear water through
the system. Drain the recovery tank into a drain or bucket through the vacuum hose connection on the front of the machine.
Disconnect the hoses from the machine and the cleaning tool.
