INSPECTION

Carefully unpack and inspect your extractor for shipping dam­age. Each unit is operated and thoroughly inspected before ship­ping, and any damage is the responsibility of the carrier, who
should be notified immediately.

ELECTRICAL

This extractor operates on a standard 15 amp 115 volt AC cir-

cuit. *Voltages below 105 volts or above 125 volts could cause
serious damage to motors. Wiring diagram is mounted inside
handle control panel of machine.

*Special voltage models avail-

able.

WARNING: To avoid electric shock:

1.

Use indoors only.

2. To reduce risk of fire, do not use volatile substances.

3.

Use only cleaners intended for carpet application.

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.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has
a grounded plug that looks like the plug in “Fig. A”. A tempo­rary adaptor that looks like the adaptor in “Fig. C” may be used
to

connect

this plug

to a

2-pole receptacle

as shown in

“Fig.

B”,

if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
(Fig. A)

can be

installed by

a

qualified electrician.

The green

col­ored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adaptor must
be connected to a

permanent ground

such as a

properly grounded
outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held
in place by a metal screw.

WARNING:

I

mproper 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

outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

FILLING THE CLIPPER

1.

Remove clear dome from upper tank. Do

not

remove the two

vacuum hoses.

NOTE: Dome can be set securely between

handle uprights when the handle is in operating position.

2.

Lift upper recovery tank from machine and set aside.

3. Use a clean bucket to fill solution tank with hot water. Add a non
foaming concentrate for use in hot water extractors at the pro­portions noted on the container.

NOTE: If powdered soap

is

used,

premix

with hot water before

filling solution tank.

4.

Reinstall recovery tank and dome. Make sure hoses are snug in the
dome.

CAUTION:

To avoid possible distortion of polyethylene solution/

recovery tanks, DO NOT USE WATER TEMPERATURE

THAT EXCEEDS 140” F (60’ C).

NOTE: Make sure dome is seated correctly to ensure proper vacuum seal.

OPERATING THE CLIPPER

(Cont.)

NOTE:

1.

Starting the machine with dry brush resting on the carpet
may trip brush circuit breaker.

2.

The vacuum motor is also protected by a circuit breaker.
The breaker will only trip under conditions of abuse or
faulty vac motor.

Dispense solution by using either the

“Continuous Flow”

switch

for

large, open areas or the

“Intermittent Solution”

button for cleaning in smaller, more confined areas. Walk­ing backwards, move the machine over the area to be cleaned.

The machine’s brush assistance should allow the unit to be

moved

As you work, check to see if there is a foam build up in the
recovery bucket, If there is, turn the machine off and add
the recommended amount of defoaming compound to the
recovery

tank.

Never put defoamer in solution tank!

WARNING:

An overflow of foam into the vacuum intake can
damage the vac motor. Always be aware of the waste water level
in the recovery tank. When is about three-quarters full, turn off
the machine, remove the dome and lift off the recovery tank to
empty. The tank has a convenient carrying handle grip on the
underside.

9.

When the machine runs out of cleaning solution (this can

be easily detected by streaking and incomplete cleaning of

the carpet, or by looking at spray manifold from side of
machine) turn off the machine, remove the dome and re­covery bucket, and re-fill the clean solution tank. Replace
the recovery tank and dome. Turn the machine back on and
continue cleaning.

10.

Ventilate area after carpet has been cleaned. Keep children
and pets away and do not walk on carpet until it is through­ly dry.

OPERATING THE CLIPPER WITH
ACCESSORY TOOLS

The CLIPPER is easily adapted for use with the following Windsor
accessory tools: DHT-UPII3-SW-SFW-SW/PRO

1.

Turn

solution valve to “Accessory Tool”

position.

2.

Remove recovery hose from dome and insert vacuum hose
for accessory tool in its place.

3.

Attach solution hose from accessory tool to brass solution
nipple on lower back of chassis.

4.

Make sure that solution tank has cleaning solution and that
recovery tank and dome are in place and ready for operation.

5. Switch on CLIPPER’s

Vacuum and Continuous switches

only.

Use accessory tools as with and standard extractor.

WARNING:

Do not switch on brush switch when operating the

machine with accessory tools. Carpet damage may occur.

6.

Make sure that the solution valve is returned to the

“Carpet

Spray”

position before using the machine again for self-

contained carpet cleaning.
