NOTE: As with all electrical equipment, care and attention must be exercised at all

times during its use, in addition to ensuring that routine and preventative maintenance is
carried out periodically in order to ensure its safe operation. In particular the electrical
supply cable should be regularly inspected by a competent person and immediate
action taken to rectify any faults found. Failure to carry out maintenance as necessary,
including replacement of parts to the correct standard, could render the equipment
unsafe and the manufacturer can accept no responsibility in this respect. See the
enclosed exploded drawings for correct replacement parts.

MACHINE COMPONENTS

Vacuum Dome

The vacuum dome is located on top of the recovery tank. It is held in place by vacuum
suction when in operation. Just underneath the vacuum dome there is a screen to
prevent debris from entering the vacuum tube leading to the vacuum motor.

Recovery Tank

The recovery tank is located on the top of the machine. It is attached to the solution
tank (lower) by four latches. It is possible to remove the recovery tank from the solution
tank but — you must first disconnect the electrical connector at the rear of the machine.
This connector has a swivel lock. To remove this connector you should first disconnect
the power cord from the wall outlet. Then simply rotate the connector ring
counterclockwise and gently pull down. Remove the vacuum hose entering the
recovery tank from below. The solution tank can now be removed.

When using accessory cleaning attachments, the hose leading from the floor vacuum
shoe should be removed from the rear of the recovery tank and replaced with the
accessory vacuum hose.

At the lower left side of the tank is the recovery drain hose. It is held in place with a
hose clip. To remove the cap, unscrew in a counterclockwise direction.

NOTE: When reconnecting the electrical connector to the recovery tank it is very
important to make sure the connection is secure — but do not over-tighten the
connector ring.

Solution Tank

The solution tank is the lower unit. It can be filled with water via the front spout using a
clean bucket or with a hose direct from the faucet. The solution tank has water conduit
with an inlet filter and weight. The weight must be at the inlet filter end of the hose to
keep it submerged.

At the rear of the solution tank is a panel that encloses the pump. Exiting from this
panel is a quick coupler. For use, the extraction hose solution line should be connected
to the quick coupler.

NOTE: Never fill the unit using a dirty bucket. This may cause damage to the pump
system.

OPERATION

To operate the machine, follow the instructions below.
Fill: Unplug the machine from the wall outlet. Ensure that the water

pick-up line and weight are in place. Fill the machine with hot clean water using a clean
bucket or hose direct from the faucet. Then, pour into the solution tank an appropriate
quantity of a good quality extraction cleaning agent.

Note: This agent should be low foaming to avoid vacuum motor damage.
Plug In: Plug the machine into the wall outlet.
Vacuum: Locate the vacuum motor switches marked VACUUM 1 and

VACUUM 2 .
Solution: Locate the solution pump switch marked PUMP .
Install the accessory solution hose at the female quick disconnect exiting the rear panel.

Install the accessory vacuum hose at the rear of the recovery tank. Attach to the other
end your choice of accessory tool. Turn the vacuum motors on and turn on the solution
pump. Water will flow when the valve on your accessory tool is depressed.

IMPORTANT: Watch the recovery dome for signs of excess foaming. If excess
foam develops, turn the machine off immediately and empty the recovery tank. Use a
defoamer to cut down on foam generation in the recovery tank.

MAINTENANCE

After Every Use

1) Empty solution tank using the drain valve under the machine.

2) Put some fresh water in the solution tank and pump this through the system.

This will help keep the pump system clean.

3) Clean the recovery dome and gasket.

4) Clean any lint or debris from the vacuum inlet screen inside the recovery tank.

5) Thoroughly rinse and drain the recovery tank to prevent odours from developing.

6) Run the vacuum motors for 1 to 2 minutes. This will help remove any moisture

from the motor fans and fan casing.

Periodically

1) Inspect power cord and plug for damage.

2) Flush the pump system with an acidic de-calcifying solution to remove deposits.

3) Check the spray jets water dispersion pattern on your accessory tools. Clean or

replace jets if pattern is erratic.

4) Check & clean the water inlet filter in the solution tank.
