GROUNDING
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This piece of equipment must be grounded. Should an electrical malfunction occur, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical current- reducing the risk of electric shock. This piece
of equipment is furnished with a cord that has a grounding conductor and grounding plug. The
grounded plug must only be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WA R N I N G :
Connecting the equipment to an improperly grounded outlet can result in an increased risk of electric
shock. A qualified electrician should be consulted if you are unsure that the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the equipment. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is designed for use on a 120-volt circuit. The grounding plug provided looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure 1. Replace the power cord if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong
plugs and outlets. DO NOT use extension cords more than 25 feet (7.6 m) long

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE:
This R100$ has been engineered and built to require minimum 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 life expectancy of the machine.
CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord from the outlet before doing any clean up or maintenance
on the machine
tKeep the machine clean. Do not allow dust to accumulate on external surfaces or near any moving
parts.
tAfter every job, wipe down the surface of the machine with a clean damp cloth.
tInspect cord for damage. Do not use machine with a damaged cord.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
tUse only chemicals safe for extractors
tAdhere to the appropriate mix ratios for all chemicals
tFor optimal performance, it is suggested that the operator flush the system after every job or at the
end of the day.
tPump seals and valves may need to be replaced at the 1000 hour mark if a loss in pressure is noted
Daily:
1. Always keep the machine clean inside and out.
2. Pour 2 gallons of clean hot water in the solution tank. Turn the pump on and flush the entire system
through the wand nozzles for about a minute to pre- vent alkaline build-up.
3. Remove dirt and lint build-up inside the filter screen in the recovery 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.
Weekly:
1. Check and clean solution filter
2. Check for obstructions in vacuum pathway
Quarterly:
1. Check pump, plumbing and fittings for leaLT
2. Check power cords and hoses for tears

CLEANING CARPET
CLEANING CARPET
tUsing a dedicated dry vacuum, pre-vacuum the space to be cleaned to remove as much dirt as
possible. Do not use the extractor to dry vacuum as it does not have a dry filter.
tPre-spray the carpet
tPour clean water or solution into the solution tank. Do not use water over 130 degrees F.
tSlide vacuum hose on to the black hose adapter (located at the back of machine) and the wand or
upholstery tool. (see #5 on page )
tConnect the female on your solution hose to the male
Q.D. on the machine (#6 on page ).
tConnect the male end of the solution hose to the wand.
tMake sure the drain valve (#9 on page ) is closed by pushing the T-handle all the way in.
tAlways use de-foamer. 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.
tTurn 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 only the vacuum motor on (no spray)
over the cleaned area to remove as much dirt and solution as possible. Do not over wet carpet! Make
overlapping passes to prevent streaking.
tIf the carpet is heavily soiled, squeeze solution valve lever on the forward pass as well as backwards,
allow- ing 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.
tWhen you are close to running 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.
tWhen the job is completed, turn the switches off, disconnect the vacuum and solution hoses from
the carpet tool and the machine. Drain the recovery tank through the drain valve as before.

CLEANING UPHOLSTERY
CLEANING UPHOLSTERY:
Cleaning upholstery with success requires a good knowledge of the type of fabric to be worked on. Look
for the cleaning instruction label sewn on the underside of the furniture for the recommended method
of cleaning the fabric. If it calls for dry cleaning, do not attempt to clean with the wet extraction
method. Otherwise, damage to the fabric could occur. Extraction works perfectly on most synthetic
fabrics including synthetic velvets.
Before proceeding, test the fabric for colorfastness. Apply a small amount of ready-to-use cleaning
solution on the fabric in an inconspicuous spot. Wait for 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.
tPrepare the machine in the same manner as for carpet cleaning (see CLEANING CARPET), except
attach the upholstery tool to the vacuum and the solution hose.
tPour hot water into the solution tank. Add recommended amount of cleaning concentrate into the
solution tank. Do not use water over 130 degrees F.
tTurn on the vacuum and pump switches.
tClean with the upholstery tool using as little solution as possible. Make overlapping passes to prevent
streaking. Go over the area you just cleaned with- out 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 and / or hold the upholstery tool a few inches above
the fabric and press lever to spray on the solution before making a pass.
