SAFETY SYMBOLS & GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The following symbols are used throughout this
guide as indicated in their descr ipt ions:

HAZARD INTENSITY LEVEL

There are three levels of hazard intensity identified
by signal words -WARNING and CAUTION and
FOR SAFETY. The level of hazard intensity is
determined by the following definitions:

! WARNING

WARNING - Hazards or unsafe practices which

COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

! CAUTION

CAUTION - Hazards or unsafe practices whic h c ou ld

result in minor personal injury or product or property
damage.

FOR SAFETY: To identify actions which must be
followed for safe operation of equipment.

Report machine damage or faulty operation
immediately. Do no t use the machine if it is not in
proper operating c ondition. Followin g is information
that signals some potentially dangerous conditions
to the operator of the equipment. Read this
information carefully. Know when these conditions
can exist. Locate a ll safet y devices on the m achine .
Please take the necessary steps to train the

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 insta ll ed b y
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.

FOR SAFETY:

DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE:
Unless Trained and Authorized.
Unless Operation Guide is read and understood.
In Flammable or Explosive areas.
In areas with possible falling objects.

WHEN SERVICING MACHINE:

Avoid moving parts. Do not wear loose clothing:
jackets, shirts or sleeves when working on the
machine.
Use Windsor approved replacement parts.

INSPECTION:

Carefully unpack and inspect your mini-extractor f or
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 break down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce

! WARNING

Improper 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 th e outle t,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

EXTENSION CORDS:

If an extension cord is us e d, th e wire size mus t be at
least one size larger than the power cord on the
machine. This m ini-extractor is equipped with a 25
ft. 16/3 power cord. Do not ex ceed the 50 Ft. cord

limit.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

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
solution 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 (60°°°°C). Add a non-

foaming cleaning solution concentrate for use in
hot water extractors at the proportions noted on
the container (see list below).

3. Place the recovery tank back onto the solution
tank and refasten the two latches.

4. Plug the power cord into grounded outlet (see
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS).

5. 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.

WARNING!! To prevent possible disease hazard,
before attempting to clean bodily fluids spills,
you must kill any viruses, germs or bacteria
present in the bodily fluid.

6. Turn on the power switch on the side of the
extractor. Squeeze the solution lever on the
cleaning tool to spray cleaning solution and
place the vacuum head on the surface to be
cleaned.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS TEST UPHOLSTERY FOR
COLOR FASTNESS IN AN INCONSPICUOUS
PLACE. Also, to avoid prolonged drying times, do
not spray too much solution in any one area.

the solution reaches the FULL mark, shut off
extractor, loosen the latches and empty the
recovery tank.

WARNING! DO NOT operate the extractor if the
solution level is above the FULL mark on the
recovery tank; water could be drawn directly into the
vac motor and this will damage the motor.

NOTE: The solution tank is not intended to run
dry. When using this extractor for vacuum pick­up only, insure that the pump switch is turned
off.

B. WHEN FINISHED OPERATING

WARNING!! Before making any adjustments or
performing maintenance, disconnect the power
cord from the electrical source.

1. Empty recovery tank completely and rinse it

several times to remove any dirt or debris that
may be left behind.

2. Tip the solution tank to the rear over a sink to
drain any unused cleaning solution and rinse
with clean water to remove any suds left by the
cleaning chemicals.

3. Check the spray jet on the cleaning tool for full
spray pattern and inspect vac head for any
obstructions.

C. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

1. Twice a month, flush a white vinegar solution

(one quart vinegar to two gallons of water) or
anti-browning solution (mixed as directed)
through the extractor. This will prevent build-up
of alkaline residue in the system.

2. If spray jet becomes clogged, remove the spray
tip, wash it thoroughly, and blow dry.

IMPORTANT! Do not use pins, wire, etc. to clean
nozzle as this could destroy spray pattern.

3. Apply silicone lubricant to solution nipple.

4. Periodically inspect all hoses, electrical cable,

and connections on your machine. Frayed or
cracked hoses should be repaired or replaced to
eliminate vacuum or solution pressure loss. If
the cable insulation on the power cord is broken
or frayed, repair or replace it immediately. Don't
take chances with electrical fire or shock.

7. When cleaning, be sure to monitor the level of
recovered solution in the recovery tank. When
