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

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 Motors: Carbon brushes
should be replaced after operating 750
hours or when the carbon brushes are
worn down to

3

/8" in length. Replace

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.

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 conduc-

tor 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.

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.

This extractor is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit, and has a grounded
plug that looks like the plug illustrated­rated 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.

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).

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.

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.
