edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

9. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord

10. Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands. Do not immerse. Keep the machine in a dry building.

11. Do not put any objects into opening. Do not use with any opening blocked: keep free of dust, lint,

17. To prevent damage to the solution system, do not store in freezing temperatures without proper maintenance.

Grounding Instructions

This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an equip­ment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accor­dance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the machine - if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in figures B and C may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in figure B if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (figure A) can be installed by a qualified electri­cian. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only three-wire 14/3 or larger gauge approved extension cords
that have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole recep­tacles that accept the appliance’s plug. Replace or repair any dam­aged cords or plugs.

When servicing, refer to authorized person only. Use only identical replace­ment parts.

NOTE: Do not use adapters shown in figures B & C in Canada

ASSEMBL Y & OPERA TION

1 . Connect one end of the vacuum hose to the intake port

of the extractor located on the top of the unit and the
other end to the wand.

2. Connect the one end of the solution hose to the brass
water discharge fitting on the lower front of the extrac­tor and the other end to the valve connection on the
floor wand.

3. Fill the solution tank (the rectangular opening located
on the top of the machine that does not have a cover)
with warm or hot water, plus a commercial grade carpet
cleaning chemical. Use dilution recommendations lo­cated on the chemical bottle. This unit holds 12-gal­lons of liquid. NOTE: A low-foaming solution should

be used. If not a defoamer must be used to keep the
foam to a minimum during use to protect your vacuum
motor . Defoamer if used is placed in the recovery tank
prior to operating the unit.

of the carpet and pulling dirt embedded in the carpet up
while the suction created by the vacuum motor picks up
the water & dirt and empties it into the recovery tank.

8. Repeat step #7 without putting more solution down to
extract greater quanities of water from the carpet. Do­ing this extra times will shorten the drying time required
for your carpet.

9. After using all of the solution from the solution tank,
you should empty the recovery tank using the dump
valve located at the lower rear of the machine by bring­ing the unit to a janitor’s sink, commode, etc. and pull­ing up on the “T” handle on the top of the valve.

10 . Once the recovery tank is emptied, lower the “T” handle

and repeat steps 3-9 as needed to clean the remaining
carpet.

11 . The cover on the recovery tank must always be in place

while using the extractor. The suction from the unit
during operation holds this in place.

12. During recovery , note that 100% recovery of all liquid
will not be achieved.

DAIL Y OR REGULAR MAINTENANCE

1. Rinse solution and recovery tanks out after every use.
Never leave any liquid in the system after use during
storage. Store unit in a warm place. If unit is left in a
freezing environment with liquid left in the system, the
pump and pump housing could crack, requiring replace­ment of the pump.

2 . Twice a month, flush machine with a solution of white

vinegar (one quart vinegar to two gallons of water) or
anti-browning solution mixed as directed. This will pre­vent build up of alkaline residue in the machine.

4. Once you have completed all of the above and your
unit is plugged into a grounded outlet, turn on the pump
switch, which will start to pressurize the unit.

5. Turn on either one or both of the vacuum switches
depending on the amount of suction desired.

6 . Holding the wand with two hands, activate the solution

by squeezing the lever on the wand (located at the top
of the wand). Spray will start to flow from the jets lo­cated at the pick up end of the wand.

7 . With one hand squeezing the wand lever, the other hand

should be putting downward pressure on the wand and
dragging the wand backwards across the carpet towards
the operator. This is basically wringing the water out

3 . If spray jet on the wand becomes clogged, remove spray

tip, wash thoroughly and blow dry.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

1 . Periodically inspect all hoses, electrical cable and con-

nections on the machine. Frayed or cracked hoses
should be replaced to eliminate vacuum or water pres­sure loss. Check power cable for damage. Repair or
replace damaged cord to prevent fire or electric shock.
