ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

ELECTRICAL – 115 Volt

Model: CR2 JR
This machine is designed to operate on a standard 15 amp, 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC circuit. Voltages below 105 volt AC or above 125 volts AC could cause serious damage to the motor.

WARNING: Do not tamper with or disable the GFCI function.

GFCI INFORMATION

GFCI FUNCTION:

For your safety, your CR2 JR is equipped with a built in GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). The GFCI function is automatic and, under normal operating conditions, the GFCI function will not be activated. A GFCI works by monitoring the amount of current that is flowing from hot to neutral. If the GFCI senses an imbalance in that flow, such as a ground leak, it will disable (interrupt) the electrical system to eliminate dangerous operating conditions. When the electrical system has been disabled, you will not be able to run the CR2 JR, at all, until you reset the GFCI.

Before resetting, It is best practice to investigate the cause of a GFCI tripping the circuit.

Possible causes and solutions are:

• Your equipment has become wet and moisture has come in contact with the electrical system. Take unit to an authorized repair location for servicing.
• Your machine is submerged in liquid. If it is safe to do so, remove the equipment and take unit to an authorized repair location for servicing.
• There is damage to the power cord. Replace the power cord immediately with the correct spec cord.
• The wall plug or cord plug may be wet or in contact with water. Using thick rubber gloves, unplug the cord from the wall.
• A leak in your machine’s plumbing may be wetting the internal electrical components. Take the unit to an authorized repair location for servicing.
• There is a loose or faulty electrical connection somewhere in your equipment. Take the unit to an authorized repair location for servicing.

To restore function to your equipment when the GFCI has tripped the circuit, press the button on the GFCI marked “RESET”.

If a GFCI continues to trip after resetting, it indicates an unsafe operating condition is present and it is best to take it to an authorized repair location for servicing. Contact EDIC for assistance in locating an authorized repair location.

GFCI MAINTENANCE:

Although the GFCI function works on its own, it is necessary to test for proper function of your GFCI periodically.

To do this:

1. Plug your equipment to an appropriate wall plug
2. Press the “TEST” button on the GFCI panel
3. Turn on the switches for “PUMP” and “MOTOR” (located on the switch panel on the handle).

If your motors turn on, then the GFCI is NOT working properly- do not use the equipment until this function has been repaired. Take the machine to an authorized repair location.

If neither motor powers on after pressing the “TEST” button then the GFCI is working properly.

Press the “RESET” button on the GFCI and the CR2 JR will be fully functional again.

WARNING: Do not remove the grounding pin from your power cord. Doing so will prevent the GFCI from performing properly and can allow dangerous operating conditions to go undetected. Replace power cords without grounding pins immediately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This piece of equipment must be grounded. Should an electrical malfunction occur, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current- reducing the risk of electric shock. This piece of equipment is furnished with a cord that has a grounding conductor and grounding plug. The grounded plug must only be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING:

Connecting the equipment to an improperly grounded outlet can result in an increased risk of electric shock. A qualified electrician should be consulted if you are unsure that the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the equipment. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This appliance is designed for use on a 120-volt circuit. The grounding plug provided looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1. Replace the power cord if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.

Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets. DO NOT use extension cords more than 25 feet (7.6 m) long.

MAINTENANCE

This CR2 JR has been engineered and built to require minimum maintenance. But like any machine, it does require some care to keep it in optimum working condition. Careful attention to these maintenance instructions will give you maximum operating performance and life expectancy of the machine.

CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord from the outlet before doing any clean up or maintenance on the machine.

1. Keep the machine clean. Do not allow dust to accumulate on external surfaces or near any moving parts.
2. After every job, wipe down the surface of the machine with a clean damp cloth.
3. Inspect cord for damage. Do not use machine with a damaged cord.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

• Use only chemicals safe for extractors
• Adhere to the appropriate mix ratios for all chemicals
• Do not add chemical to the solution tank- use the chemical feed system or prespray
• For optimal performance, it is suggested that the operator flush the system after every job or at the end of the day.
• Pump seals and valves may need to be replaced at the 1000 hour mark if a loss in pressure is noted
• The pressure regulator may require servicing should a pressure drop be noted.

Daily:

• Flush chemical lines with water by placing clean water in the solution tank and using the pump to spray.
• Check and clean vacuum filter

Weekly:

• Check and clean solution filter
• Check for obstructions in vacuum pathways
• Quarterly:
• Check pump, plumbing and fittings for leaks
• Check power cords and hoses for tears

CORD STORAGE AND SAFETY
