Safety instructions (read carefully)

Every electrical device must be used for its particular function only, respecting the manufacturer’s instructions.
Failure to adhere to these instructions could result in serious bodily injury to the operator (shock, electrocution,
etc.).
Please read the following safety instructions carefully and ensure that you understand them prior to using the
machine.

• Before putting the machine’s plug in the wall socket, check that the voltage available is the same indicated
on the label of the machine.

• Be sure that the electrical system is well grounded and that it has a GFI.

• Verify that the cable plug is the same as the outlet.

• Do not use adapters or multiple sockets

• If any electrical extension is used, ensure it is the correct gauge of wire and make sure it is watertight.

• Take care of the electrical cable. Do not repair the cable in case of tears, but replace it with a new one.

• Do not pull the cable to drag the machine or to pull the plug out. Pull the plug out only when the machine is

switched off.

• Do not handle the plug with wet hands.

• Do not spray water near electrical outlets. Do not use the machine to spray or to suck dust, corrosive

liquids (acids or bases) and explosive or inflammable liquids.

• Do not use the machine in an explosive atmosphere.

• Do not let the machine be used by children and people unable to understand the danger connected with

the use of electrical power.

• Do not bring the end of the suction hose or one of the accessories near your face or others’, particularly
near ears and eyes: the sucked air could seriously damage them.

• If the machine is used as a wet vacuum cleaner, you must check the level of water in the recovery tank, in
order to prevent water from being sucked through the vacuum motor.

• If the chemical you are using produces foam, or if you are cleaning carpet previously treated with shampoo,
you must

• In case of abnormal working (very noisy motor, pump not running, extreme temperature rise, or other
suspicious signals) switch off the machine and pull the plug out.

add defoamer into the recovery tank to prevent damage to the vacuum motor.

• After using, store the machine, well cleaned, in a cool and dry place.

Attention:

all electrical repairs must be performed by qualified personal only!

USING THE MACHINE

For regular carpet maintenance you should only pre-spray heavily soiled areas. With the vacuum and pump in
the “on” position and the wand or hand tool attached, pull the solution valve to spray the water and slowly pull
the wand/hand tool back to vacuum the dirty water into the recovery tank.

Note: If the carpet is heavily soiled, it is recommended that you pre-spray the area prior to extraction.

MAINTENANCE

1. After every use, before storing the machine, remove all the water from the solution and the recovery tank.
Put some clean water into the solution tank and use the pump only. This will clean out the pumping system
of the unit.

2. After every use, store the machine in a cool and dry place with the recovery dome off. This will ensure that
no water evaporates through the vacuum motor causing any damage.

3. Periodically clean (at least every 2 months) the water filter, removing it from the machine and rinsing it
under warm water

4. Periodically check and clean the filter for the vacuum motor. It is located between the 2 tanks for the
models TP4X and TP8X and below the recovery dome for the TP12QX and TP18SX.

5. After 500 working hours, the machine should be brought in to be serviced. The carbon brushes on the
vacuum motor and pump motor should be replaced at this time.

6. Worn-out carbon brushes may result in damage to the vacuum motor or to the pump, which are not

covered by warranty. Replacing the carbon brushes should be done by authorized personnel.
