120VAC GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, 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
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualifi ed elec-
trician 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 fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1 below. A temporary
adapter illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 2 if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualifi ed electrician. The
green-colored rigid ear, tab, 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. Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets. DO NOT use extension cords
more than 50 feet (15 m) long.
WARNING!
• If an extension cord is used, the plug and socket must be of watertight construction.
• Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous.

PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE
1 Inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tools for cleanliness and completeness.
2 Screw the Recovery Tank Lid (11) closed. Ensure the drain cap is closed tightly.
3 Pre-spray spots and heavy traffi c areas before extracting with the detergent of your choice. Mix the pre-spray according to the detergent
manufacturer’s directions.
4 Fill the solution tank with clear water (12 gal. / 45.5 L capacity). If desired, add a detergent or rinse of your choice (we recommend a
CRI approved detergent). If you choose to add a detergent to the solution tank, be sure to mix well, and always follow the use & dilution
instructions on the detergent label. Only use a detergent with a pH between 5 and 10. Although this machine is designed to supply instant
hot water, the addition of warm water to the solution tank would increase heater effi ciency. Never use water above 130º F/54º C in the
solution tank.
CAUTION!
Use low-sudsing, liquid detergents designed for carpet extraction.
FORM NO. 56091020 - PEX 200, 500 - A-9
A-10 / ENGLISH
OPERATING THE MACHINE
1 Follow the instructions in the Preparing the Machine for Use section of this manual.
2 Turn off all the switches. Plug the power cords into properly grounded outlets. Do not connect both cords to the same outlet; the green,
Circuit Indicator Light (D) on the switch plate should light up. If the indicator light does not come on, try different outlets until it does. “Do not
connect both cords to the same outlet.”
3 Attach the priming hose to the machine and place the open end into the solution tank.
4 Turn ON the solution pump (A) and let it run until the pump is fully primed (approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute). Once the pump is primed,
turn off the pump and remove the priming hose.
5 Connect a solution line to the Solution Hose Quick Disconnect (1). Attach the other end of the solution line to the cleaning tool.
NOTE: If there is pressure built up in the solution lines, it may be diffi cult to connect a solution line to the Quick Disconnect (1). If this is the case
place the Pump Switch (A) into the OFF (O) position. Momentarily turn the Pressure Relief Valve (16) from the green “checkmark” position to
the red “X” position and back again to the green “checkmark” position, this will relieve the pressure to allow a solution line to be connected to
the quick disconnect port.
CAUTION!
Always operate the machine with the Pressure Relief Valve set to the Green “checkmark” position to avoid possible damage.
6 Connect a vacuum hose to the Vacuum Hose Barb (3). Attach the other end of the vacuum hose to the cleaning tool.
7 To use heated water for cleaning, press the Heat Switch (E) into either the Low Temperature position (I) or the High Temperature position (II).
Wait two minutes for the heat exchanger to reach temperature.
8 Press the Pump Switch (A) to ON (I).
9 Press the Vacuum Switches (B & C) to ON (I). The machine can be used with only one vacuum motor running for less suction i.e. cleaning
upholstery.
10 Spray through your tool a few times to fi ll the lines with solution. Begin cleaning.
11 To adjust the solution spray pressure; rotate the Pressure Adjustment Knob (14) clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to de-
crease pressure. The pump spraying pressure will be observable at the Pressure Gauge (15) while spraying. Make sure the cleaning tool is
spraying when adjusting the pressure, otherwise the pressure reading will be inaccurate.
12 Watch the fl uid entering the Recovery Tank Lid (11). If there is a large amount of suds in the recovery tank, add a defoamer chemical to the
recovery tank.
CAUTION!
• Empty the recovery tank before the fl uid or foam enters the vacuum motor.
• If foam or liquid escapes from the machine, switch off immediately.
CAUTION!
Always make sure the fl oat is clean and travels freely before turning on the machine. A fl oat that is stuck will cause the
vacuum motor to suck in water, resulting in vac motor damage.
13 The recovery tank has a Recovery Tank Shutoff Float (10) to block the vacuum system when the recovery tank is full. You can tell when the
fl oat closes by the sudden change in the sound of the vacuum motor. When the fl oat closes, the recovery tank must be emptied. The machine
can continue to dispense solution, but will not pick up water with the fl oat closed.
14 Monitor the water level in the solution tank. Do not let the pump run dry. When the solution tank gets low, turn off the pump and the vacuum
motor(s), refi ll the solution tank with water and the proper ratio of cleaning detergent. Empty the recovery tank and continue cleaning.
15 When the operator has completed the job; vacuum all unused solution from the solution tank into the recovery tank, turn off the pump, vacuum
motor(s) and heat exchanger. Unplug the machine.
16 Push the machine to a designated waste water “DISPOSAL SITE” and empty the recovery tank. To empty, loosen the Velcro strap retaining the
Recovery Tank Drain Hose (4) into its side storage location, then remove the plug (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to
avoid sudden, uncontrolled fl ow of waste water).
17 Follow the instructions in the After Using the Machine section of this manual.

hose. Rinse the tank with clean water.
2 Turn all the Power Switches (A, B, C & E) to OFF (O). Unplug the Power Cords (20). Coil the cords and secure them to the rear of the machine
using the four Cord Retainer Straps (17).
3 To empty the recovery tank, loosen the Velcro strap retaining the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (4) into its side storage location. Direct the hose to
a designated waste water “DISPOSAL SITE” and remove the plug (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden,
uncontrolled fl ow of waste water). Rinse the tank with clean water. Inspect the drain hose; replace if kinked or damaged.
4 Disconnect the solution and vacuum hoses from the machine, at the Solution Hose Quick Disconnect (1) and Vacuum Hose Barb (3) respec-
tively. Flush the vacuum hose with warm water to wash any debris out of the vacuum hose and cleaning tool. Inspect them for damage. Fold

consulte con un electricista o personal de servicio autorizados. No modifi que el cordón provisto con el aparato. Si no calza
en el receptáculo, llame a un electricista califi cado para que coloque un receptáculo adecuado.
Este aparato se usa con un circuito de 120-voltios nominales, y tiene un enchufe con toma a tierra tal como se muestra en la fi gura 1, a continuación.
Se puede usar un adaptador provisorio tal como se ve en las fi guras 2 y 3 en caso de disponerse de un receptáculo sin toma a tierra como en la
fi gura 2. Dicho adaptador provisorio se usará solamente hasta que un electricista califi cado instale un receptáculo con la toma a tierra correspon-
dondiente (fi gura 1). La lengüeta de conexión de color verde que sale del adaptador deberá ser conectada a una toma a tierra permanente como,
por ejemplo, la caja del receptáculo con toma a tierra. Siempre que se use el adaptador, hay que sostenerlo en su lugar con un tornillo de metal.
Sustituya el enchufe si la patilla de tierra está dañada o rota.
El hilo verde (o verde/amarillo) del cordón es el hilo de tierra. Cuando sustituya el enchufe, este hilo sólo debe ir conectado a la patilla de tierra.
Los cables alargadores conectados a esta máquina deben ser del calibre 12, trifi lares, con tres patillas y tomas de pared adecuadas. NO UTILICE
cables alargadores de más de 15 m.
¡ADVERTENCIA!
• Si se utiliza un alargador, el enchufe y la toma de corriente deben ser herméticos.
• Los alargadores inadecuados pueden ser peligrosos.
