GROUNDING & OPERATION

INSPECTION

Carefully unpack and inspect your mini­extractor 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, 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.

on the machine. This mini-extractor is
equipped with a 25 ft. 16/3 power cord.

Do not exceed the 50-ft. cord limit.

A. SET UP AND OPERATION

1. Upon removing your new mini-extractor

from the box, loosen the two latches at
either end of the machine that secure the
recovery tank to the so lution tank. Remove
the recovery tank from the solution tank.

2. Pour up to 2 U.S. gallons (7.6 liters) of
clean, hot water into the blue 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 two latches.

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

6. Connect the vac and cleaning tool hoses to
the extractor. Insure that the female
solution hose coupler is securely locked
onto the male coupler on the extractor.

hazard, before attempting to clean bodily
fluids spills, you must kill any viruses,
germs or bacteria present in the bodily fluid.
