Be it a small residential job or a large commercial contract, Esteam industrial carpet cleaning extractors are right for your needs. The E1715 is an economical, compact, portable soil extractor with the power and capabilities required by professional cleaning technicians.

Only the highest quality components go into our equipment, to deliver you strength and reliability in a long life, high performance machine. The E1715 ’s housing is made of high impact, unbreakable polyethylene. We are so confident in the housing that we put a lifetime guarantee on it.

The E1715 incorporate a unique dual vacuum system. Two vacuum motors hooked up in sequence produce 150” of water lift and 185” of water lift with optional 2-3 stage. To compliment the vacuum lift the E1715 comes with a 150 PSI Diaphragm pump. The E1715 comes complete with an optional 200

internal heater.

The E1715 ’s clean water solution tank has a 17 gallon capacity and the dirty water recovery tank has a

14.5 gallon capacity. Built into the recovery tank the E1715 comes standard with high water automatic shut off. You never have to fear overfilling your recovery tank as the vacuums will automatically stop extracting

when the recovery tank becomes full.

MAINTENANCE

1. After each job, disconnect the vacuum hose and run the vacuums for 3 to 5 minutes to eliminate moisture build up in the components. This prolongs vacuum life and reduces the servicing the vacuums will require. If excess water enters the vacuums due to failure of the float ball sh ut-off system, run the vacuums for at least 15 minutes, and spray a small amount of penetrating oil (i.e. WD-40) directly into the vacuum inlet inside the recovery tank. This will help displace any remaining moisture and prevent corrosion of the vacuum components.

2. At the end of each day run clear water through the pump. Wipe out the solution tank using a clean cloth. Check the acorn screen filter for damage, and replace it if it becomes clogged, corroded or crushed. Never store tools or hoses inside the tanks of the machine, as damage t o the com pon ent s may occur.

3. Rinse out the recovery tank with clean water and clean the float cage screen assembly. This will eliminate odor problems inside the tank, as well as preventing damage to the vacuum system caused by faulty float operation.

4. Check that the recovery tank float ball is free of debris and operating properly. The float cage may be unscrewed from the mounting pipe for complete cleaning. Be sure to reassemble the float assembly properly.

5. To keep your E1715 extractor looking new, wipe the polyethylene housing with vinyl cleaner or protector as needed.

Always unplug power cord/s before opening access panel. WARNING: Do not allow the machine to freeze. System damage from freezing can

take place in as little as 5 minutes in sub-zero conditions. This will cause lines with water in them to crack and break. Heaters and pumps with water in them subject to freezing will also crack and break. Allowing the machine to freeze with water in the system and/or using improper chemicals will void the warranty.

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 of 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 inlets 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 electric shock.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Plug in the machine. Always check to ensure the plug has the ground prong attached to prevent injury due to electric shock. Never remove the ground prong from the plug.

2. 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 vacuum and pour approximately ¼ cup of Esteam Liquid Defoamer into the end of the vacuum hose.

NOTE: If the unit is equipped with a heater, two power cords are supplied. The machine will need to be plugged into two different circuits to handle the combined amperes. Your solution will be heated to approximately 2000F.

3. 150 PSI pump priming instructi ons : USING OPTIONAL PRIME HOSE

- Fill fresh water tank

- Attach prime hose to quick connect on machine

- Place the other end of prime hose into vacuum port and hold

- turn vacuum and pump switches on

- Once a continuous flow of water is being drain through the prime hose, this

indicates pump is primed

- Turn off vacuum and pump switches and disconnect prime hose

- Connect solution hose and v ac hos e to mac hi ne

- Turn vacuum and pump switches on

- Machine is ready to use.

TO USE YOUR E1715 OPTIONAL HEATER:

A) Hook the wand solution hose to the quick connect of your machine. B) Plug the heater power cord into a wall outlet that is on a separate circuit from the

other cord.

C) Turn the heater switch on. D) When the red light goes out, solution is heated and ready to use. WARNING: If your heater does not work DO NOT attempt to repair it yourself, call

your distributor for repair procedures. Using solvents in heaters can be hazardous and will void your warranty. Allowing heaters to freeze will crack the heater cartridge and will also void your warranty.

DANGER: No solvents of any type may be used in this system at any time. The use of solvents is extremely hazardous resulting in possible fire and/or explosion.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CO NTINUED)

4. Connect the vacuum and solution hoses to the carpet cleaning wand.

5. Proceed to clean the carpets.

6. 6When the recovery tank becomes full, vacuum will automatically stop extracting. When the vacuum stops extracting it will make a distinctive high pitched noise as all air flow will be cut off. At this time switch the unit off. To empty the recovery tank use the black 450 elbow provided to direct waste water into a 20L bucket or toilet.

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

8. To empty the solution tank remove vacuum hose from wand. Turn on vacuum and extract solution from solution tank into recovery tank, then drain recovery tank.

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

10. When the job is completed, empty and rinse out the solution and recovery tanks. Allow vacuum to run 3 to 5 minutes. This will eliminate all moisture from vacuum assuring long vacuum lift.

11. 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 shock.
