MACHINE OPERATION

PRIOR TO EXTRACTING CARPETS

1. Inspect power cable and extension cable for damage. Replace cable if damage is found.
2. Vacuum carpet to remove debris prior to extracting carpet.

CARPET EXTRACTING

1. Turn on vacuum / pump switch.
   NOTE: Solution will only spray when the brush / spray button is pushed.

2. To start cleaning, push the brush / spray button and begin to pull the machine backwards.
   NOTE: For best cleaning results, pull back on the machine at a pace of approx. 10 feet in 15 seconds.

3. Release brush / spray button at the end of the path, and continue to pull machine back for another 12 inches to pick up excess solution.

4. Tip machine back onto the transport wheels and push forward to begin next path.

5. During pickup, the float shut-off will automatically prevent water from entering the recovery tank once the recovery tank is full.

NOTE: If foam develops in the recovery tank during vacuuming, use de-foamer chemical to help eliminate the foam. Foam will not activate the float shut- off, and therefore, may cause vacuum motor damage.

OPERATING HINTS

1. Overlap cleaning path by approx. 2 inches

2. Work away from power outlet and power cable in order to avoid damage to the power cable.

3. Continually check for foam buildup in recovery tank. Use a distributor recommended foam control solution.
   NOTE: Excessive foam buildup will not activate the float shut-off and may cause damage to the vacuum motor.

4. Repeat extraction path on heavily soiled areas.

5. If brush stops spinning, there may be an obstruction in the brush. Unplug the power cable, raise the brush off the floor and check for an obstruction. Check & reset the brush circuit breaker located on the control housing.

6. When recover of the dirty solution ends, or the solution tank is empty, you must drain the recovery tank. (see TANK DRAINING)

USE OF ACCESSORY TOOLS

2. Connect accessory solution hose to brass quick connect coupler located on the back of the machine.
3. Connect accessory tool to solution and vacuum hoses.
4. Turn on vacuum / pump switch.
5. Operate accessory tools as needed.
6. When cleaning is completed, relieve water pressure from solution lines by turning off vacuum / pump switch and then squeeze trigger for 4 seconds.
