WARNING
Electric motors can cause explosions when operated near explosive materials or vapors. Do not
operate this machine near flammable materials such as solvents, thinners, fuels, grain dust, etc.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. This plug
must be plugged into the Carpet S potter Model C46200-00 or C46000-00 as shown on page 4 fig.
2. The power supply cord plug on Model C46200-00 and C46000-00 must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. See grounding instructions below for Model C46200-00 and C46000-00.
DANGER - 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 appliance — if
it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
(for Model C46200-00 Carpet Spotter and C46000-00 Ambassador )
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in sketch A below. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
All service and repair should be performed by qualified vacuum service representative or electrician.
No user serviceable components are employed in the electrical assembly. No lubrication of the
motor is required.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
1. The powerhead should be cleaned daily. Flush pumping system with 1 gallon of
clean water after use.
2. Check and clean vacuum inlet and solution inlet daily.

clean out spray tip with pins or wire, this may cause damage to the jet spray pattern
and cause streaking.
5. Protect equipment from freezing. Severe pumping system damage can occur if
allowed to freeze.
6. Inspect vacuum hoses for tight connections. Check electrical cable for abrasion
or cuts in jacket. Cord should be replaced if worn or damaged.
MONTHLY/BI-MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
The Solution Pump System should be purged monthly to remove alkaline residue build-up. To
flush system out, use 1 quart of white vinegar to 1 1/2 gallons of clean hot water, followed by a
clear 1 1/2 gallon rinse. Clean spray jets if required.
CORD STORAGE
While not in use storage can be accomplished by winding cord around machine. Cord hooks
are provided.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has
been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return to service center.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away
from heated surfaces.
