Owner’s Manual — Hydro-X Xtreme Xtractor
Installation, Operation & Service Instructions
Read and Save These Instructions
The Phoenix Hydro-X Xtreme Xtractor is the most effective
and efficient extraction tool on the market today. The
Hydro-X’s patented Suction Roller provides both suction
and compression — forcing water to the surface then
sucking the water away, not allowing the water to be
reabsorbed back into the carpet and pad. No other
extractor today can pull as much water from the carpet and
pad as the Hydro-X Xtreme Xtractor.
The Hydro-X is steerable and self-propelled with variable
speeds. One restoration technician can operate the unit
and extract 1200 sq. ft. of carpet and pad in approximately
2 hours*!

3 Operating Instructions
The speed, movement and directional controls are located
on the control box at the top of the handle assembly.
3.1 Steering
To steer the Hydro-X Xtreme Xtractor, remove the middle
hitch pin on the wheel/base assembly. When finished
extracting, moving or transporting the Hydro-X, be sure the
reinstall to hitch pin.
Figure 2: Remove
the hitch pin to
steer the Hydro-X
during extraction
3.4 Speed Control
The knob marked “Fast/Slow” controls the speed of
movement from 1 to 28 feet per minute. Recommended
speed for extracting water from berber is slow.
Recommended speed for cut pile is fast.
Figure 5: The Hydro-X
can move from 1 to
28 feet per minute
with the use of the
speed control knob.
4 Basic Extraction Technique
If there is more than 1” of standing water in the area to be
extracted, a sump pump should be used to remove standing
water.
3.2 Directional Control
Select the “Forward” or “Reverse” switch to set the
desired direction of movement. When the Forward/Reverse
switch is in either movement position, the machine will
begin motion when the handle on the handle grip is
depressed.
Figure 3: Directional controls
feature forward, reverse
and off. In the “off” setting
the Hydro-X will not move
when the movement lever is
depressed.
3.3 Movement Control
Depress the handle on the left handle grip to begin
movement. Always start movement on the Hydro-X with the
speed control set to “Slow.” Depressing the movement
handle when the Hydro-X speed control is set to “Fast”
may cause the operator to lose their balance as the
machine will start moving quickly. Before changing from
Forward to Reverse or vice versa, release the motion
handle.
Figure 4: Compress
the movement handle
when ready to begin
extraction.
Start in corner of room - extract one pass forward and one
pass back. Pull corner of carpet back to inspect pad. If
no water splashes when jumped on with foot, two passes
are sufficient for extraction. If there is water splash, make
another pass and re-check. After determining the number
of passes required, extract entire room.
5 Other Information
5.1 Vacuum Units
For maximum extraction, the recommended vacuum unit is
the Phoenix Hydro-X Vacuum Pac. However, if using a truck
mounted vacuum unit, a 2” hose must be used from truck
to the Phoenix Hydro-X Xtreme Xtractor. Using a portable
vacuum unit other than the Phoenix Hydro-X Vacuum Pac is
not recommended.
5.2 Troubleshooting
This chart suggests common answers to problems with
your Hydro-X. The information is not all-inclusive and does
not necessarily apply in all cases. If unusual operating
conditions, or other problems occur, obtain technical
assistance from the manufacturer.
If the unit fails to operate:
No Power - Check home circuit breakers or receptacle with
circuit tester.
Blown Fuse or Open Breaker - Replace fuses or reset
circuit breaker. Inspect for damaged wiring.
GFCI Tripped - After plugging in GFCI and machine
power cord, press “RESET” button on GFCI.
Loose Motor Connections - Check handle to motor lead
connection.
