INTRODUCTION

Only the highest quality components go into our equipment, to deliver you
strength and reliability in a long life, high performance machine. The
E600’s housing is made of high impact, unbreakable polyethylene. We
are so confident in the housing that we put a lifetime warranty on this unit.

The E600’s incorporate a unique 3 stage vacuum system to produce 125
inches of water lift. To compliment the vacuum lift the E600’s come
standard with a 100 PSI diaphragm demand pump. The E600 has an
optional internal heater.

The E600’s clean water solution tank and the dirty water recovery tank
both have a 6 gallon capacity. Built into the recovery the E600’s come
standard with a high water automatic shut off. You never have to fear
overfilling your recovery tank, as the vacuums will automatically stop
extracting when the tank becomes full.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1. Prior to inspection or repair of this machine, disconnect all electrical cords

rendering the machine powerless. Failure to do so could result in serious or
fatal injury.

2. Inspect unit daily for worn or damaged components e.g. frayed cord, loose

plug, or a plug with missing ground pin, etc.

3. This unit should only be operated when in an upright position on a level

surface.

4. Do not operate unit unless it is properly grounded in a 3 pin grounded outlet.

Never bend or remove ground pin from plug.

5. Ensure filters and screens are free from lint or dirt.

6. Do not run unit if vacuum motors or pump are wet. Allow sufficient time for

motors to dry before plugging unit in.

7. Do not use solvent-based cleaning products in this extractor.

8. Keep air inlet and exhaust ports free from obstructions. Blocked air inlets or

exhaust ports can cause the unit to over heat.

9. Do not use solution or recovery tanks for storing hoses, cords, or accessories.

10. When using electrical equipment around water it is important to wear rubber-

soled shoes and keep machine properly grounded at all times. Failure to do so
could result in a fatal el ec tr i c shock.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Premix cleaning solution with hot water in a 20 litre pail. Pour mixed solution in

solution tank of unit.
NOTE: Do not mix more solution than you will need for the job.

2. Connect vacuum and solution hoses to unit.

3. Insert plug into 3 pin grounded outlet. Try to use an outlet in a hallway or

adjoining room in order to keep electrical cord out of your way.

4. We recommend the use of a liquid defoamer, to prevent the machine from

prematurely shutting off due to excess foam in the recovery tank. Turn on
vacuums and pour approximately ¼ cup of Esteam Liquid Defoamer into the
end of the vacuum hose.

5. Connect vacuum and solution hoses to carpet cleaning wand.

6. Proceed to clean carpets.

NOTE: To prevent over wetting we recommend two dry passes (vacuum only)
for every one wet pass (applying solution to carpet).

7. When the recovery tank becomes full, vacuums will automatically stop

extracting. When the vacuums have stopped extracting they will make a
distinctive high-pitched noise, as all airflow will be cut off. At this time switch
unit off. Drain the recovery tank by pulling up on drain valve on front of
machine.

NOTE: Ensure that the automatic high water shut off screen inside recovery
tank is free from any obstructions. Be sure to close drain valve before
resuming cleaning.

8. To empty solution tank remove vacuum hose from wand. Turn one vacuum on

and extract extra solution from solution tank into recovery tank, then drain
recovery tank.

NOTE: Do not completely submerge end of vacuum hose into solution. Allow
some air to enter end of vacuum hose with liquid.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)

9. When the job is completed, empty and rinse out the solution and recovery

tanks. Allow vacuum to run for 3 to 5 minutes. This will eliminate all moisture
from vacuums assuring long vacuum life.

WARNING: When using electrical equipment around water, it is important to
wear rubber-soled shoes and keep machine properly grounded at all times.
Failure to do so could result in a fatal electric shoc k.
