CRITICAL SAFETY INFORMATION & CAUTIONS

The acceptable use of this machine is for commercial/professional cleaning, for example, in hotels, schools, hospitals, and offices, rather than for personal housekeeping.
NOTE: Read all instructions before using this machine. Improper use or misuse of the machine can result in personal injury or property damage.

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, follow these procedures:

• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.
• Do not operate the machine in an explosive environment.
• Do NOT use Solvents
• Never add water over 120ºF/ 49ºC to the solution tank.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes, or any health-endangering dust. Do not use it to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use it in areas where they may be present.
• To avoid electric shock, do not expose to rain or snow and keep from extremes in temperature. Store in a heated location. Use the machine indoors. Do not use outdoors.
• Do not use this machine to dry vacuum before wet cleaning.
• Do not use a damaged cord or plug. If the machine is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or flooded with water, return it to a service center.
• Do not leave the machine unattended when it is plugged in. Unplug the unit from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
• Do not handle the plug, the cord, or the machine with wet hands.
• Extension cords must be 12/3 and no longer than 50 feet. Replace the cord or plug immediately if the ground prong becomes damaged.
• Do not put any object into the opening. Do no use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.
• Keep loose clothing, hair, fingers, and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.
• Liquid ejected at the spray nozzle could be dangerous as a result of its temperature, pressure, or chemical content.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

YOUR NEW MACHINE:

When you receive your new machine, examine the packaging for signs of shipping damage. Carefully unpack the machine and inspect it. If you see evidence of damage to the container or the contents, contact the freight carrier immediately.

Additionally, ensure all parts and accessories are present; if you notice anything missing, contact your distributor without delay.

SYSTEM FEATURES:

VACUUM: The vacuum motors provide an excellent ratio of water lift to air movement (see specs, page2). Carpets should dry quickly if not over-wetting while cleaning.
PUMP: The pump is a ‘demand’ style – it only runs when there is demand for spray. This feature increases the life of the pump.

CHEMICALS:

The use of clear water in the machine is recommended, within the application of properly diluted cleaner as a pre-spray on the area to be cleaned; however, you may mix water  and cleaning chemicals in a bucket — according to directions on the chemical label — and then pour into the solution tank. If you chose to use chemicals in the machine, always use a cleanser with a pH as close to neutral as possible to avoid premature wear of the pump, seals, and/or other components. Damage caused by the use of strong chemicals is not covered by the warranty.
The use of powder chemicals is discouraged; unless they are mixed very thoroughly and rinsed out completely at the end of the job, powdered cleaners could cause a build-up in the pump, lines, heater, and/or quick disconnect. Any problem caused by a chemical build-up is not covered by a warranty.
If foaming occurs as you clean, use a defoamer, either in the recovery tank or on the area being cleaned, to prevent overflow which can cause water damage to machine components.

TOOLS & ACCESSORIES:

Use only the manufacturer’s recommended tools and accessories. If the spray valve on your cleaning tool begins to leak or if the spray tips get worn and are no longer providing a nice even spray pattern, order replacements from your distributor.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

For continual peak operation, clean the internal plumbing by rinsing with clear water at the end of each job. About once a month, rinse the machine with a commercial flushing compound to break up any mineral or chemical accumulation that may have formed from the use of hard water or chemicals.
The vacuum motor and the pump do not require any scheduled maintenance; however, the vacuum motor may require replacement brushes after 750-1000 hours.
To help maintain a professional image; clean the exterior of the machine with an all-purpose detergent, and protect it with automobile interior polish. Lubricate the wheels,  castors, and quick disconnects with an all-purpose, silicone spray.

VIEWS OF THE MACHINE:

SET-UP AND OPERATION:

1. Before each use, inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tool for cleanliness and completeness, Ensure the spray nozzles on the cleaning tool are tight and that the ball floating in the recovery tank is clean and operational.

2. Close the clear, screw-on lid on the recovery tank, and screw the cap onto the drain hose.

3.  Fill the holding tank with clear water.

4. Turn off all the switches. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded outlet.

5. Connect the solution hose and the vacuum hose to the machine and to the cleaning tool.

6. Turn the pump ON and spray through the tool for a few seconds to fill the lines with fluid.

7. Pre-spray the area to be cleaned with the detergent of your choice.

8. NOTE: If you choose to add a detergent to the solution tank, be sure to mix well, and always follow the use & dilution instructions on the chemical label. Use a chemical with a pH between 5 and 10 to reduce the likelihood of premature wear to the pump and other seals.

9. Spray through your cleaning tool as you adjust the pressure regulator knob, on the front of the machine, to achieve the desired spraying pressure.

10. Turn on the vacuums.

11. Begin cleaning, following industry-accepted practices.
    NOTE: Use defoamer any time foaming occurs in the recovery tank to prevent damage to the motor or other components.
    NOTE: Foam will not lift the ball float.

12. Monitor the water level in the solution tank.
    Do not let the pump run dry.

13. When the solution tank gets low, turn off the pump and vacuum, fill the solution tank, and empty and clean the recovery tank.

14. When finished with the job, remove any unused solution from the solution tank, and run a few gallons of clean water through the system. Drain the recovery tank by opening the drain hose over a drain or a bucket. Release any residual pressure from the cleaning tool before disconnecting the hoses from the cleaning tool.

AUTO VACUUM SHUT OFF:

When the recovery tank is full, the ball float will shut off the suction to prevent the machine from overflowing.
NOTE: The float may not work if there is too much foam in the tank. Always use a defoamer to prevent overflow.
