GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
3
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE
ONLY.
ELECTRICAL:
The amp, hertz, and voltage are listed on the
data label found on each machine. Using
voltages above or below those indicated on the
data label will cause serious damage to the
motors.
EXTENSION CORDS:
If an extension cord is used, the wire size must
be at least one size larger than the power cord
on the machine, and must be limited to 50 feet
(15.5m) in length.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance 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
appliance 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.
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding 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 appliance - if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

1. Check all fittings and connectors for proper
assembly.
2. Check all hoses for leaks. Repair or replace any
damaged hoses.
3. Check power cord(s) for any damage. If
damaged, replace.
EQUIPMENT SET-UP
1. Plug power cord from machine into properly
grounded wall outlet.
2. Turn vacuum motor switch on and off to make
sure there is electrical power at machine.
3. Connect vac hose to machine. Slide the swivel
cuff over the outlet on the tank.
4. Connect the hose to your machine and
wand. Pull back the knurled collar on the quick
disconnect coupler and push onto the connection
on the chassis. To avoid leaks, check to be that
a positive connection was made.
5. Pour clean, hot water into the solution tank.
To avoid possible tank distortion, water
temperature must not exceed 140 F (60C).
6. Add a non-foaming cleaning solution
concentrate, for use in hot water extractors at
the proportions noted on the container (See list
below), into solution tank.
7. Turn pump and vacuum switch(s) to the on
position.
8. Start cleaning.
WARNING
!
To prevent possible disease hazard, before
attempting to clean bodily fluids spills, you must
kill any viruses, germs or bacteria present in the
bodily fluid.
SUITABLE INCOMPATIBLE
CHEMICALS CHEMICALS
Always use defoamer if foaming occurs. Foam
will suspend large particles which may damage
vacuum as well as allow liquid into the vacuum
motor without activating the float shutoff.
1. Before proceeding, make certain that the nozzle
is functioning properly.
a. To check, hold the wand about one foot
above the surface to be cleaned and open
the wand valve. A full spray should be
observed from the nozzle.
b. If the nozzle is not showing a full spray
pattern, adjust nozzle for proper pattern,
clean, or replace nozzle.
2. Normally, chemical is applied on the push
stroke while vacuuming is done on the pull
stroke. For heavily soiled carpets the hand tool
may be used in the scrubbing manner, applying
chemical in both the push and pull stroke.

3. When cleaning, keep the working opening
(wand mouth) flat on the surface being cleaned.
Keep the wand moving when the valve is open.
4. The shutoff float inside the recovery tank will
impede the vacuum flow when the tank is full.
When this occurs, empty the recovery tank. Do
this by opening the dump valve located at the
front of the machine. NOTE: Dispose of waste in
a proper manner which would not violate any
Local, State or Federal law.
.
5. Once the recovery tank has been emptied, you
may once again proceed with cleaning
CAUTION
!
Operating Vacuum after shutoff has activated could
draw water directly into the vac motor. This will
cause damage to the motor, therefore voiding your
warranty.

SHUT DOWN AND STORAGE
1. Turn Switch OFF. Empty recovery tank
completely and rinse several times to remove
any dirt or debris that may be left behind.
2. Drain any unused cleaning solution from solution
tank and rinse with clean water to remove any
suds left behind by the cleaning chemicals.
NOTE: Dispose of waste in a proper manner
which would not violate any Local, State or
Federal law
3. Run a small amount of clean water through
pump if chemicals were used. This will help
insure the life of your pump.
4. Check the spray jet on the cleaning tool for full
spray pattern and inspect vac head for any
obstructions.
5. Remove as much moisture from system before
storing in cold climates. Excess water may
freeze during storage and crack internal
components, causing damage to the unit.

MAINTENANCE
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Unplug power cord(s)
before servicing or
making any repairs.
1. Flush the entire system, including floor tool,
hand tool, etc., with 1 to 3 gallons of clean, hot
water.
2. Vacuum out the solution tank.
3. Rinse tank with fresh water. Periodically inspect
the recovery tank and decontaminate if
necessary, using a Hospital Grade Virucide or a
1-10 bleach to water solution. Wastewater
should be disposed of properly.
4. Occasionally check filter screen at the bottom of
the solution tank and rinse clean with hot water if
necessary.
5. Inspect hoses for wear. Frayed or cracked
hoses should be replaced to avoid vacuum or
solution pressure loss.
6. Inspect power cord for wear or damage. This
cable will lie on wet carpet. To prevent electrical
shock replace cords that are frayed or have
cracked insulation immediately.
7. Clean all dirt and obstructions from drain valve
and gaskets to prevent possible leakage and
premature wear.
8. Run clean water through solution pump when
work is complete.
9. Empty both tanks and rinse, run vacuum (s) for
at least one minute to dry motor(s).
10. Store with access covers removed to allow tanks
to dry.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1. Twice a month, flush a white vinegar solution
(one quart vinegar to two gallons water) or antibrowning solution (mixed as directed) through
the extractor. This will prevent build-up of
alkaline residue in the system.
2. If spray jet becomes clogged, remove the spray
tip, wash it thoroughly, and blow dry. NOTE: D
NOT USE PINS
THIS COULD DESTROY THE SPRAY PATTERN
3. Apply silicone lubricant to solution nipple.
4. Periodically inspect all hoses, electrical cable
and connections on your machine. Frayed or
cracked hoses should be repaired or replaced to
eliminate vacuum or solution pressure loss. If
the cable insulation on the power cord is broken
or frayed, repair or replace immediately. Don’t
take chances with electrical fire or shock.
5. Clean outside of all tanks and check for
damage.

Replace both carbon brushes when either is less than
3/8" (9.5mm) long.
For best results with the pressure regulator, we recommend that you clean and lubricate
the piston and u-cup with Superlube lubricant monthly or when pressure drop seems excessive.
1. Turn unit off before lubricating.
2. Remove cap, spring and spring retainer plate.
3. With fingertips remove piston and u-cup.
4. Wipe piston and u-cup clean of any film or scale.
5. Lubricate the piston and u-cup with Superlube.
