Grounding Instructions
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL

USE ONLY.
ELECTRICAL:

In the USA this machine operates on a standard 15
amp 115V, 60 hz, A.C. power circuit. 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.

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 wire 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.

Safety

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
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.

Le raccordement incorrect du conducteur de terre
d'équipement peut entraîner des risques d'électro­cution. Vérifiez auprès d'un électricien qualifié ou
d'un responsable de l'entretien si vous avez
quelque doute que ce soit quant au ra ccordement à
la terre de votre prise murale. Ne modifiez pas la
fiche fournie avec l'appareil : si elle ne correspond
pas à la prise murale, faites installer une prise
adéquate par un électricien qualifié.

Operations

Set-up and Operation

1. Upon removing your new mini-extractor from the
box, loosen the latch at back end of the machine
that secures the recovery tank to the solution t ank.
Remove the recovery tank from the solution tank.

2. Pour clean, hot water to the indicated fill line of the
solution tank. To avoid possible tank distortion,
water temperature must not exceed 140 F (60C).

3. 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.

4. Place the recovery tank back onto the solution tank
and refasten the latch.

5. Plug the power cord into grounded outlet (See
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS).

6. Connect the vacuum and cleaning tool hoses to
the extractor. This unit is equipped with an 1/8"
male quick connect for solution hose attachment
and a 1" ID vacuum hose hookup. Insure that the
female solution hose coupler is securely locked
onto the male coupler on the extractor.

7. Turn switch ON. This switch operates both the
vacuum motor and the water pump. NOTE: The
pump is an oscillating pump and should not be run
dry for extended periods of time. This may cause
damage to your pump, therefore voiding your
warranty.

8. Squeeze the solution lever on the cleaning too l to
spray cleaning solution and place the vacuum
head on the surface to be cleaned. 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. Always finish up an area with
a vacuum pull stroke.

9. When cleaning, be sure to monitor the level of
recovered solution in the recovery tank. When the
solution reaches the FULL mark, shut off the
extractor, loosen the latches and empty the
recovery tank.

NOTE: Dispose of waste in a proper manner which
would not violate any Local, State or Federal law.
