ENGLISH - AINSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
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 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 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.

CONTROL PANEL
A HEAT CONTROL: This dial controls the water temperature. Turn it clockwise to increase water temperature and counterclockwise to decrease
temperature. The heater will operate only if the separate circuit locator light (E) or the bypass switch (F) is on.
B HEAT MODE LIGHT: This light will only illuminate when the heater is heating and will turn off when it reaches operating temperature. During
normal operation, the “MODE” light will be on most of the time.
C PUMP CONTROL: This dial controls motor speed and pump pressure. Adjust the dial clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to
decrease pressure or turn off pump. The pump runs off of cord #1. The pump spraying pressure will be observable at the pressure gauge.
D VACUUM SWITCH: This switch will illuminate when the vacuum motors are on. The vacuum motors run off of cord #1.
E SEPARATE CIRCUIT LOCATOR LIGHT: When this light is on, it indicates that cord #2 (Identifi ed by the red “H” on the back of the extractor.)
is on a separate line from cord #1. Cord #2 supplies voltage to the heater allowing it to heat to the temperature range indicated by the Heat
Control dial (#1) on the switch plate.
F BYPASS SWITCH: The bypass switch will illuminate when it is activated and will completely bypass the circuit locator system. Use this system
only when the circuit locator light will not turn on and you know each cord is on a separate circuit. NOTE: THE CIRCUIT BREAKER CAN TRIP
IF BOTH CORDS ARE ON THE SAME CIRCUIT AND THE BYPASS (heat) SWITCH IS TURNED ON.

SET-UP AND OPERATION
CAUTION!
Use care when handling hazardous chemicals.
Never leave the machine running when you are not actively using it.
To avoid vacuum motor damage, always make sure the fl oat fi lter is clean and that it can travel freely before you operate the machine. Always use
a defoamer any time foam is present.
DANGER!
Do NOT use solvents, or any chemicals that may be fl ammable, explosive or combustible.
CLEANING SOLUTIONS:
Select a proper pre-spray for the surface to be cleaned, and apply the pre-spray. Use a neutral pH rinse or detergent (6 to 10 pH) in the unit to
prevent premature wear of the pumps, seals, and other components. Damage caused by the use of improper or strong chemicals is not covered by
warranty. Powdered chemicals are not recommended.
1. Fill the holding tank (2) with clear water and pre-spray with the detergent of your choice (we recommend a CRI approved chemical). Mix well.
Although this machine is designed to supply instant hot water, the addition of warm water to the holding tank would increase heater effi ciency.
Never use water above 130º F/54º C in the solution tank.
2. Turn off all the switches. Plug in cord #1. (This cord runs the pump and vacuum).
3. Attach the priming hose to the Solution Hose Quick Connect (10) and place the open end into the vacuum tank.
4. Turn on the pump (turn pump pressure dial (C) all the way clockwise) 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 disconnect the priming hose. Attach the cleaning hose (3 & 10) and tool.
IF YOU WANT HEATED SOLUTION:
5. Plug in the heater cord (identifi ed by “H” on the back of the machine). NOTE: If the Separate Circuit Locator Light (E) does not illuminate when
the heater cord is plugged in, then both cords are on the same circuit. Try other outlets until the light comes on. See Bypass Switch section
(below) if you are unable to get a green light.
6. Turn the Heat Control (A) clockwise to the desired temperature.
7. Turn on the pump (C) and spray through your tool a few times to fi ll the lines with solution. Begin cleaning.
8. Refi ll and empty the tanks as necessary.
9. When fi nished with the job, vacuum all unused solution into the recovery tank, and dump the tank. Clean the tanks and fi lters. Clean the tool
and hoses. Store the machine in a heated location.
SEPARATE 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.
BYPASS SWITCH
The Bypass Switch (F) completely bypasses the separate circuit locator system. Use this feature when you cannot get the green Circuit Locator (E)
to come on and you believe that the two cords are on separate circuits.
CAUTION:
If the bypass switch is on when the two cords are plugged into the same circuit, the breaker in the wall panel may trip.
AUTO VACUUM SHUTOFF
When the recovery tank is full, the fl oat system will shut off the vacuum motor to prevent the machine from overfl owing. The fl oat may not work in
foam. Always use a defoamer to prevent overfl ow. Once the vacuum motor shuts off, the Vacuum Switch (D) must be turned off, the recovery tank
emptied, and then the vacuum switch turned back on (up position) to get the vacuum motor started again.
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.
PUMP PRESSURE:
Make sure the cleaning tool is spraying when adjusting the pressure, otherwise the pressure reading will be inaccurate.
