GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

https://harrissupplyind.com - To Order Parts Call 608-268-8080

The120V A/C and the 220V A/C models have been outfitted with the appropriate grounded connectors. Make
sure the machine is connected to a grounded outlet having the same configuration as the grounded plug. No
adapter should be used with this machine. Any modification to the connectors will void the warranty.

PREPARING THE MACHINE (ALL FASTRACT EQUIPMENT)

IMPORTANT: For all FASTRACT equipment, use only the correct IPC high pressure, high heat wands &
upholstery tools. They are designed to deliver and maintain the correct gallons per minute (GPM), pressure
(PSI) and heat when attached to the FASTRACT pump system. Use of other manufacturer wands can cause
over-wetting of carpet, damage to the pump system (including hose & fittings), lack of pressure and heat.

1) Pour clean solution into the solution tank

2) Slide vacuum hose onto the black hose adapter (located at the back of the machine) and the wand or

upholstery tool.

3) Connect the male end of the solution hose to the wand and the female end to the machine by sliding

knurled collar on the female quick disconnect fitting back. Push the male fitting in and release the
knurled collar until it snaps back.

4) Make sure the drain valve is closed by pushing the T-handle all the way in.

5) Previously shampooed carpets usually have a heavy build-up of old shampoo residue which can cause

the vacuum system to ingest foam and result in damage to the vacuum motor. Remember to add
recommended amount of defoamer to the recovery tank every time you fill the solution tank.

Additional Instructions for FASTRACT with a HEATER:

1) Be sure to fill the solution tank with water before plugging in the machine.

2) Water hookups must be in place and water flowing through the heater prior to turning it on. Failure to do

so may cause internal component damage and will void the warranty.

Spray water through the tool / wand before turning on the heater to assure that there is water

flow.

3) Heater must be filled with water or water based solutions at all times when in use.

4) Plug heater power cord and machine power cord into separate outlets on separate circuits.

5) Turn off the switch and unplug the heater from outlet when not in use.

6) Do not use heater at more than 500 PSI.

7) Turn on heater switch when you are ready to clean.

8) CAUTION: When the green light on the heater is on, the heater is heating. When the green light is off,

the water in the heater tank is up to temperature and the thermostat switch in the heater has turned the
heater off. It will automatically turn on again when the water temperature in the heater has cooled.

DELIVER MAXIMUM HEAT by performing the following SYSTEM WARM-UP PROCEDURES at the
start of each day:

1) Attach the solution hose to the quick disconnect on the machine.

2) Attach the warm-up quick disconnect with spray tip attached to the other end if the solution hose.

3) Place warm-up quick disconnect in the solution tank.

4) Fill solution tank with cleaning solution.

5) Turn on pump.

6) When water is flowing out of the warm-up quick disconnect, turn on the heater.

7) Let the pump and heater run for 4 to 5 minutes.

8) Remove warm-up quick disconnect. Attach the wand or upholstery tool and begin cleaning.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS- CARPET TOOL

https://harrissupplyind.com - To Order Parts Call 608-268-8080

1) Turn on the vacuum and solution switches. Slowly pull the tool towards you with the solution valve
trigger engaged. Then make a pass forward and backward with the vacuum only (no spray) over the
cleaned area to remove as much dirt and solution as possible. Do not overwet carpet! Make overlapping
passes to prevent streaking.

2) If the carpet is heavily soiled, squeeze solution valve on the forward pass as well as backwards, allowing
cleaning solution a few seconds longer to work prior to vacuuming. Another method is to raise the wand
8” above the carpet and pre-spray lightly prior to cleaning passes. On extremely soiled carpets, we
recommend using a pre-spray solution.

3) When you run out of solution, turn off the pump. Attach the drain elbow on the drain valve. Place a pail
under the downspout and pull up the drain valve T-handle. Dirty solution will pour out until the tank is
empty. Close the drain valve. Use a clean bucket when you refill the solution tank.

4) When the job is completed, turn the switch off and disconnect the vacuum and solution hoses from the
carpet and the machine. Drain the recovery tank through the drain valve as before.

CLEANING UPHOLSTERY

Cleaning upholstery with success requires a good knowledge of the type of fabric you will work on. Look for
the cleaning instructions label sewn on the underside of the furniture for the recommended method of cleaning.
If it calls for dry cleaning, do not attempt to clean by wet extraction otherwise damage to the fabric could occur.
Extraction works perfectly on most synthetic fabrics including synthetic velvets.

Before proceeding, test the fabric for colourfastness. Apply a small amount of cleaning solution on the fabric in
an inconspicuous spot. Wait 2 to 3 minutes and rub the area with a white terry cloth towel. If no color comes off
the towel, the fabric should be safe to clean. If a little color comes off, there is some risk of colors running when
you clean. It may be possible to stabilize colors by cleaning with an acidic rinse.

1) Prepare the machine in the same manner as for carpet cleaning (see Preparing the Machine) except
attach the upholstery tool to the vacuum hose. Connect the solution hose. Pour hot water into the
solution tank. Add recommended amount of cleaning concentrate into the solution tank. Turn on the
vacuum and pump switches.

2) Adjust the pump “operating pressure” to 50 PSI or below for upholstery cleaning (See Preparing the
Machine).

3) Clean with the upholstery tool using as little solution as possible. Make overlapping passes to prevent
streaking. Go over the area you just cleaned without depressing the lever (vacuum only) and gauge the
amount of moisture extracted through the view window for dryness. On heavily soiled areas like arm
rests, pre-treat with a recommended pre-spray solution or hold the upholstery tool a few inches above
the fabric and press lever to spray on the solution before making a pass.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

https://harrissupplyind.com - To Order Parts Call 608-268-8080

1) Always keep the machine clean inside and out.

2) Pour 2 gallons of clean hot water in the solution tank. Turn on and flush the entire system through the wand

nozzles for about a minute to prevent build-up.

3) Remove dirt and lint build-up inside the filter screen in the recover tank. Lint should be cleaned off so that

air flow is not impeded.

4) Check the solution tank strainer in the solution tank. If lint has accumulated in the screen, remove and rinse

it in clear running water.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

All IPC machines are engineered and built to require a minimum of maintenance. But like any machine, it does
require some care to keep it in optimum working condition. Careful attention to these maintenance instructions
will give you maximum operating performance and will increase the life expectancy of your machine.

• Solution Lines and Fittings: Flush the machine at least once a month with a solution of 3 parts water with 1

part white vinegar in order to neutralize the alkaline residue left by the cleaning solution.

• Quick Connect Coupler: Spray with WD-40 or equivalent lubricant to prevent coupler from sticking.

• Drain Valve: Apply light oil on gate seals. If machine has to be stored, leave the gate valve open.

• Solution Pump: The same above procedure used on the solution line and fittings applies to the pump.
