MAIN BODY
1. General
The steam vac is a self contained domestic extractor
designed for deep cleaning of carpet and rugs.
Suction is directed to the floor through the clear
nozzle and up into the recovery tank where the air
and water are separated. A float prevents the
recovery tank from being overfitled.
Initial models incorporate six and seven amp motors.
Top of the line models include a tool kit which allows
the unit to be used for stair or upholstery cleaning.
This instruction deals with the top of the line models.
Instructions that pertain only to low end models will be
noted,
II. Operation
The units are controlled by the on/off pedal located on
the LH side,
ON/OFF
PEDAL
The turbine (air) pump operates on the suction from
the motor. Suction is directed to the pump through
the pump duct, and is completed when the door on
the hood is opened.
The Pump gets a constant flow of solution from the
solution tank through the reservoir assembly. On
models without the pump, the pump tap on the
reservoir is plugged.
The recovery tank can be unlatched and carried to
empty.
Solution is gravity fed to the floor from the solution
tank through the reservoir assembly to the distributor,
The reservoir assembly is opened by actuating the
trigger in the handle.
The toot set can be used by removing the tank duct
and replacing with the hose assembly. Open tool
door and connect hose. This will direct solution and
suction to the hose grip.
