IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE OPERATING OR SERVICING MACHINE
Failure to Observe These Instructions Can Cause Personal Injury
DANGER!
• NEVER attempt to service or perform maintenance functions while machine is plugged into an electrical
outlet.
• ALWAYS unplug machine before attempting to service the motorized brush attachment.
• NEVER operate in standing water. NEVER expose to rain. ALWAYS store indoors.
• NEVER overfill recover y tank or allow water to enter vacuum standpipe. This will cause damage to the
vacuum motor and possible electrocution.
• NEVER operate machine with a cut, abraded or taped cord.
• NEVER operate machine with a broken grounding blade on the plug.
• ALWAYS replace the entire cord when the cord or plug is damaged in any manner.
• NEVER handle the machine, cord or plug with wet hands.
• NEVER drop or insert any object into any machine opening.
• ALWAYS keep face, fingers, hair or any other body part, or loose clothing away from any machine
opening or any moving part, particularly the revolving brush.
• NEVER leave the machine unattended when plugged in. Unplug the machine from the electrical outlet
when not in use.
• ALWAYS turn the machine off before unplugging it from the electrical outlet.
• NEVER operate this machine in the presence of flammable or combustible liquids or fumes.
• When any electrical motor, switch, cord or plug service is required, maintenance should only be done by
an authorized service station, an electrician or other qualified persons.
• NEVER operate this machine if it is not working properly, if it as been dropped, damaged, exposed to
weather, or dropped into water. Return the machine to a service center for examination and repair.
• NEVER operate this machine with any air opening blocked. Keep all air openings free of dust, lint, hair,
ect.
• NEVER operate this machine without solution tank filter screens or vacuum standpipe filter screen in
place or if they are clogged. Clean all filter screens after every use.
• ALWAYS store this machine indoors. Protect it from rain or snow.
• NEVER spray the top of the machine with liquids.
• DO NOT pull or carry this machine by the electrical supply cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on
the cord, pull the cord around sharp edges or corners, or expose to heated surfaces.
• NEVER disconnect the plug by pulling on the cord. To disconnect the cord from the outlet grasp the plug,
not the cord.
• ALWAYS unplug this machine before attempting to service.
• ALWAYS use a defoamer which will prevent a buildup of foam in the recover y tank. If a defoamer is not
used, the motor can be damaged from shampoo being pulled into the vacuum motor.

DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THIS SECTION
IMPROPER USE OF THE PREDATOR CX300HP WILL VOID THE WARRANTY
1. Always use a rag to prevent burns when handling quick-disconnects.
2.
Always use a defoamer when foaming occurs to prevent vacuum motor damage.
3. To keep fitting and lines from damage during freezing conditions, use an
anti-freeze in the pump and heater or keep equipment inside heated areas.
4. Do not let pump run dry.
5. Use neutral pH, water-based products only - NO SOLVENTS!
INSPECTION:
Carefully unpack and inspect the PREDATOR CX300HP for shipping damage. Each unit is
tested and inspected before shipment. Any damage incurred is the responsibility of the carr ier,
who should be notified immediately.
CLEANING SOLUTIONS:
We recommend liquid cleaning chemicals. Powders may be used, but unless mixed very
thoroughly, they could cause build-up in the lines, pump, quick-disconnects, etc. A pH of 7-9 is
strongly recommended to avoid premature pump wear, which would void the warranty.
MAINTENANCE:
For optimum performance, flush the machine with clear water at the end of each working day.
Once a month, minimum, run a flushing compound through the machine to cut any alkaline
build-up that may have formed.
Lubricate wheels, casters and hinges as needed. The pump and vacuum motor do not require
any maintenance.
The body can be cleaned with a general all-purpose detergent and protected with a silicone
type product like Armor All®. The quick-disconnects should be lubricated with silicone, also.
Prior to each job, inspect the holding tank filter and the recovery tank float filter for hair and dirt.
The drain valve should also be inspected regularly and kept free of any debris or build-up.
SET-UP:
https://harrissupplyind.com - To Order Parts Call 608-268-8080
Fill the holding tank with clear water and the detergent of your choice. Mix well. Although this
machine is designed to supply instant hot water, the addition of warm or hot water to the holding tank
would be a plus factor.
1. Plug in cord #1 (vac and pump), identified by the 4" long red band on the end of the cord. Attach
the priming hose to the machine. Turn the pump on and set the switch to the upholstery setting.
Run until the pump is fully primed, then turn off the pump. Remove the pr iming hose and attach
the cleaning hoses and tool.
2. Turn on the pump and spray through the cleaning tool for a few seconds to fill the lines with
solution.
3. Plug in cord #2.

operating temperature. You may now begin cleaning. It will take about 10 seconds for the initial
heat to reach the wand.
NOTE: 240 Volt machines do not have a green light.
NOTE: If the green circuit indicator light does not illuminate when cord #2 is plugged in, then
both cords are on the same line. Try other outlets until the light comes on. See the bypass
switch section (below) if you are unable to get a green light.
IF THE GREEN LIGHT ILLUMINATES, THE HEAT EXCHANGER WILL TURN
Wait 2 minutes for the heat exchanger to reach
BYPASS SWITCH:
NOTE:240 Volt machines do not have a Bypass Switch.
The bypass switch completely bypasses the circuit locator. Use this feature when you cannot get
the green light to come on and you believe that the two cords are on separate circuits.
CAUTION: If the bypass switch is on and the two cords are plugged into the same circuit, the
breaker will blow.
ELECTRIC CIRCUIT LOCATOR:
NOTE:240 Volt machines do not have an Electronic Circuit locator.
This unique, patented “smart system”, operated by a solid state circuit, will inform the operator when
the two cords are plugged into separate lines by illuminating the green indicator light. This helps
prevent tripping circuit breakers.
BALL FLOAT VAC SHUTOFF:
When the recovery tank is full, the float system will shut off the incoming air flow and prevent water
from entering the vacuum motor. The float may not work properly if the float filter is clogged or if
there is heavy foam in the tank.
CAUTION: To avoid vac motor damage, a
travels freely before turning on the machine. U
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
All extension cords must have a rating of at least 12/3 (#12 cord). Extension cords should be no
longer than 50 feet. Replace the plug immediately if the ground prong becomes damaged or is
broken off. Not only is the ground necessary for safety, but the circuit locator system will not
operate correctly without it.
lways make sure the float filter is clean and the ball
se a defoamer whenever foam is present.

SWITCH PLATE
These switches are powered by cord #1 (4" red band).
Switches are on when illuminated.
This switch is also powered by cord #1 (4" red band).
The carpet setting (down position) is high pressure
(approximately 300PSI). The upholstery setting (up
position) is low pressure (approximately 50PSI with a
K1 or V2 spray tip). NOTE: Switch does not illuminate.
Turning on this switch (switch illuminates when on)
bypasses the circuit locator. See previous page for
explanation of the bypass system.
When this light is illuminated, it confirms that the
machine is on two separate circuits. See previous
page for additional information on the circuit locator.
This light will only illuminate when the heater is heating
and will turn off when it reaches operating temperature.

COMMON STAINS AND CLEANING TREATMENTS
https://harrissupplyind.com - To Order Parts Call 608-268-8080
TREATMENT METHODS
First:Remove excess material by blotting to absorb liquids, or by scraping with a dull edge
(butter knife) is a solid.
Second: Clean the remaining stain as directed by the chart below. Always follow the direction
on the container. Apply the cleaning material directly to the stain (avoid over wetting
the carpet or upholstery), then remove the loosened stain material with a white ab-
sorbent cloth or tissue.
Third:When the carpet is dry, gently brush the carpet pile to restore its appearance.
Note:Treat unknown stains with a volatile solvent first and follow with other agents as re-
quired. If you are uncertain of the effect of the cleaning agent on the carpet fiber or
dye, test on an inconspicuous area first.
