Machine Set Up
Pre-Operation
1. Vacuum and remove all debris.
2. Perform MACHINE SETUP procedures.
3. Inspect power cord for damage.
Set Up
1. Carefully check carton for signs of damage.
Report damage at once to freight carrier.
The machine is shipped fully assembled
and is ready for use.
2. Open lid of solution tank. Fill solution tank
with water or approved cleaning agent.
WARNING: Flammable materials can
cause an explosion or fire. Do not use flammable
solutions or materials in tank(s).
FOR SAFETY: When using machine, follow
mixing and handling instructions on chemical
containers.
Operation
1. Turn pump switch to “Hi Pressure” setting.
2. Step lightly on Power Prime for 30 seconds to prime
pump completely. Use regulator adjustment to set pump
at desired pressure on gauge.
3. Hook up your auto fill and pump out hoses to the
appropriate connections on the back of the machine.
4. Switch on Pump-Out pump. NOTE: Pump will not begin
to operate until tank is partially filled. The pump out is
controlled by a sensor in the tank. MAKE SURE YOUR
PUMP OUT HOSE IS SECURED TO A DRAIN.
5. Attach Auto Fill hose to a water inlet, such as a sink or a
garden hose. Turn on the water at medium to medium
low pressure. Monitor solution tank as it fills for the first
time, to ensure that the Auto Fill shuts off correctly.
ATTENTION: If using powdered cleaning
chemicals, mix prior to adding.
3. Attach solution hose. (Located front of
machine.)
NOTE: Make sure the quick
disconnects snap together firmly. As
you do this, always inspect hoses for
cracks or fraying. Do not use if hoses
are damaged.
4. Attach other end of solution hose to wand.
5. Attach vacuum hose to recovery tank.
6. Locate a 20 Amp dedicated power circuit, and
plug the machine cord in. The outlets must
be properly grounded. Plugging into an
ungrounded or improper outlet can result in
equipment damage, fire, and/or harm to the
operator. NEVER DISABLE THE
GROUND PIN, AS SERIOUS PROBLEMS CAN
RESULT!
6. Switch on both Vacuum 1 and Vacuum 2
7. Begin cleaning. As you clean, monitor your tank levels.
The clean water tank should never be run empty, and the
dirty water tank should never be run full.
Priming
To prime the TRS simply connect all the solution hoses
i.e. chemical metering, spray gun. Then turn on the pump
switch and push down on the priming lever. At this point
the TRS will reach its operating pressure.
FOR SAFETY: Do not operate machine unless
cord is properly grounded.
FOR SAFETY: Do not operate machine with
the use of an extension cord.

WARNING: Flammable materials or
reactive metals can cause an explosion or fire.
Do not pick up.
1. Work away from outlet and power cord to
prevent cord damage.
2. Use a recommended foam control solution in
the recovery tank to prevent vacuum motor
damage. Periodically check for excessive foam
buildup in solution tank.
3. To clean heavily soiled areas, repeat cleaning
path from different direction.
4. When ball float shuts off vacuum, it is time to
empty the dirty water from the recovery tank,
and refill solution tank.
NOTE: When cleaning upholstery, always
check cleaning instructions sewn in furniture
by manufacturer
5. After cleaning, relieve water pressure from tool
before disconnecting hose. Squeeze trigger for
five seconds after turning main power switch off.
Draining Recovery Tank
FOR SAFETY: When servicing
machine, unplug cord from wall outlet.
1. Turn machine off and unplug power
cord.
2. Remove solution & vacuum hose
3. Lift up drain valve lever to empty
solution tank.
Machine Maintenance

follow machine’s daily and weekly maintenance
procedures.
FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, unplug
cord from wall outlet.
Parts-Washing Solutions:
Water-Based (Aqueous) Biodegradable Solutions—
These alkaline solutions wash away both organic soils
(including grease, oil, and soft carbon) and inorganic soils
(such as epoxy , hard-water residue, corrosion, oxides, paint,
plating salts, and rust). For faster cleaning action, heat
cleaners up to 140° F. Rinse with water. Dilute general
purpose formula with four to nine parts of water . Nonferrous
metals formula is formulated for aluminum and other
nonferrous metals. Mix three to eight ounces of this powder
per gallon of water.
Maintenance
DAILY:
1. Empty and rinse out recovery tank thoroughly.
2. Wipe off power cord and check for damage, replace if
necessary. Coil cord neatly after use.
3. Clean machine with an all purpose cleaner and damp
cloth.
Weekly Maintenance
(EVERY 20 HOURS OF OPERATION)
1. Flush solution system with a system maintainer to
dissolve normal chemical buildup.
a. Pour 7.5L (2 gal) of hot water 60°C (140°F)
into solution tank. Add system maintainer
according to mixing instructions on bottle
FOR SAFETY: When using machine,
follow mixing and handling instructions on
chemical containers.
b. Operate machine for one minute.
c. Shut off machine and allow
remaining solution to break down
chemical buildup overnight.
d. Next day, spray out remaining
solution and flush system with
11L (3gal) of clean water.
2. Inspect vacuum hoses for holes and loose cuffs.
3. Inspect spray pattern for clogging. If clogged,
remove spray tips and soak them in a
recommended liquid neutralizer for up to six
hours. To remove spray tip, twist spray tip body
counter-clockwise. Do not use pointed objects to
unplug tips, damage will occur.
