MAINTENANCE OF THE EXTRACTOR

Due to the design, construction and
quality of materials, this extractor
requires a minimum of maintenance.
The following tips are provided to
increase the service life of the extrac­tor.

NOTE: Disconnect the power cord
from the outlet before doing any work
on the extractor.

After Each Use:

1. Drain the recovery tank after each
use.

2. Remove all soil and debris from
the recovery tank.

3. Flush out the recovery tank with
clean water.

4. Check and clean in-line filter locat­ed in the motor housing.

End of Day:

Pour 2 gallons of clean hot water in the
solution tank. Turn the pump ON and
flush the entire system for about a
minute to prevent alkaline build-up.

After Repeated Use:

Spray Nozzles: Remove and clean the
spray nozzles of any debris or build-up.
Replace when necessary.

Solution Tank: After 4 to 6 uses,
inspect the solution tank for cracks and
abrasions.

Solution Lines and Fittings: Flush
extractor at least once a month with a

PAGE 2

solution of one part water to three
parts white vinegar in order to neutral­ize the alkaline residue left by the clean­ing solution. Lubricate all quick discon­nect fitting with WD-40 or similar lubri­cant.

Vacuum Motor: Carbon brushes
should be replaced after operating 750
hours or when the carbon brushes are
worn down to
both carbon brushes at the same time.

Pump System: After 4 to 6 uses, flush
with clean water, including the all hoses
and wand.

CAUTION: DO NOT leave water in tank
over night or store extractor with water
in tanks.

DANGER:

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a

risk of electric shock.

GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical equipment must be grounded. If
it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resist­ance for electrical current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This extractor is
equipped with a cord having an equip­ment-grounding conductor and grounding
plug. The plug must be inserted into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.

This extractor is for use on a nominal 120
volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that
looks like the plug illustrated-rated in (Fig
A). A temporary adaptor that looks like
the adaptor illustrated in (Fig B & C) may
be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in (Fig B) if a proper­ly grounded outlet is not available.

If repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the
grounded wire to either flat blade termi­nal. The wire with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

GROUNDING

METHODS

The temporary adaptor should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig
A) can be installed by a qualified electri­cian. The green color rigid ear, lug, or the
like, extending from the adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw (Fig C).

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a

risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you

are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

DO NOT modify the plug provided with the extractor. If it will not fit the outlet,

have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted

by the Canadian Electric Code.

IMPORTANT
PROCEDURES
BEFORE
CLEANING

1) Remove furniture from the area. Large
pieces can be moved to opposite end of
the room from where you start cleaning.

2) Thoroughly vacuum carpet making sure
all dirt and loose debris is removed.

3) Before plugging power cord into
grounded outlet all switches must be in the

OFF position.

4) Add the cleaning chemicals and clean

water to the solution tank, following the
chemical manufactures directions.When
using a bucket to fill the tank always use a
clean bucket.

5) Monitor the foam level and add defoamer
to recovery side if necessary.

6] Connect the solution hose to the quick
disconnect coupling and insert vacuum
hose in to the plug-in sleeve. Push other
end of the vacuum hose onto wand and
connect other end of the solution hose to
quick disconnect on wand.

NOTE: Carpets that have been previously
shampooed may have a heavy build-up of
old shampoo residue which may cause
excessive foaming in recovery tank.
Monitor the recovery tank for foam
buildup. If this occurs add a defoamer
chemical to the recovery tank to protect
the vacuum motor form damage.

RE-CAUTIONS

P

In order to avoid damage to the carpet
during the cleaning operation check for the
following:

1) Carpet is secured with adhesive that is
water resistant.

2) Carpet is glued down completely, not
partially

This extractor is designed to be safe when
used to perform cleaning functions as
specified. Should damage occur to electri­cal parts, the unit should NOT be used
until the damage is repaired by the manu­facturer or authorized service center. This
will avoid further damage to the unit or
injury to the user.

If it becomes necessary to store or trans­port the unit where temperatures could
drop below 40° F, the pump, solution hose
and valve on the tools must be protected
from freezing with a solution of automotive
radiator antifreeze.

1

1) Mix
of antifreeze and follow the priming
instructions in the Set-Up and Operation
Sections page 5.

/2gallon of water and 1/2gallon

3) Carpet does not have a backing that is
sensitive to water (Jute or Jute Blends).

4) Test carpet to see if it is color-fast.

These instructions are for your protections
and information PLEASE READ CAREFUL-
LY! Failure to follow the precautions or
instructions could result injury or damage
to the user and/or extractor.

2) Vacuum excess mixture out of solution
tank into the recovery tank and dispose of
the anti-freeze mixture.

The antifreeze MUST be flushed out of the
pump and vacuum system thoroughly with
clean water before use, otherwise, the
carpet may be damaged. Dispose of
antifreeze properly.

3) To prevent damage, allow extractor to
reach room temperature before using.

PAGE 4

Attach Cleaning Tool:

1) Connect vacuum hose to the vacuum
intake and the extraction wand.

2) Connect the solution hose to the unit
and the wand. Pull the sleeve on the cou­pler and insert the male quick disconnect
plug on the hose. The sleeve should
'CLICK' and retract back indicating a posi­tive seal.

It is recommended that you use a low
foaming chemical or a defoamer to elimi­nate foam build-up in the recovery tank and
damage to the vacuum motor. If moisture
does enter the vacuum motor it is neces­sary to use WD-40 on the motor.

Electrical:

Plug extractor into a dedicated 120 volt,
15 AMP circuit. Never remove ground
prong from the plug.

SET-UP &

OPERATING

PROCEDURES

Filling Solution Tank:

1) Fill solution tank with hot tap water (not
to exceed 140° F).

2) Pour cleaning solution in tank following
the directions on the bottle’s label for best
results.

and pump green switches
located on the front of the
extractor.

To start cleaning

3) Position the wand at a comfortable
position in front of you.

4) Squeeze the carpet tool trigger while
slowly pulling it towards you. Apply a slight
downward pressure on the wand grip to
maximize extraction.

5) Hold nozzle steadily against the carpet,
spraying solution and recovering the dirty
solution immediately.

4] Before completing each path, shut OFF
the solution supply and vacuum up the last
of the solution sprayed on. This will also
reduce the drying time of the carpet.

:

If circuit breaker trips during operation:

A) Turn OFF the extractor.
B) Reset the breaker.
C) Plug electrical cord into a different

outlet and resume cleaning.

7) Empty the dirty solution from the recov­ery tank into a bucket by pulling UP on the
drain valve handle. Make sure to close the
valve after draining the tank.

When job is completed:

6) Vacuum out the remaining cleaning
solution into the recovery tank.

7) Empty the recovery tank and rinse out
dirt and debris from the tank.

Heavily Soiled Carpet:

Repeat the cleaning process a second
time, where possible in a crosswise direc­tion. Allow the carpet to totally dry before
starting the second cleaning.

Confined Areas:

Use the upholstery tool to clean stairs,
upholstery, in corners, under obstacles
and edges, etc.

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

5] The next cleaning path should overlap
the previous on by 2
