1. HANDLE ADJUSTMENT

A.  Open the cam handle to release the handle locking gears.

B.  Move the handle either up or down to a comfortable operating 

height or the storage position.

C.  Close the cam handle to lock the gears back into place.

2. MACHINE OPERATION

A.  Fill the solution tank with clean water at a temperature not exceed-

ing 120°F.  An operator can check the level of solution in the tank by 

looking at the sight gauge on the side of the tank.

B.  Add liquid detergent into the tank using the correct concentration 

and manner specified by the manufacturer.  Excess foam could dam-

age the vacuum motor, so be sure to use only the correct amount of 

detergent.

C.  

To ensure proper operation, 2 ounces of defoaming  

 

liquid should be poured into the recovery tank before  

 

each use.  Defoaming liquid should only be used in the  

 

recovery tank, never the solution tank.

  If tank is removed from the machine for remote filling, be sure to 

press it firmly on the base when returning it to the machine.  This 

is required to ensure that the solution valve on the bottom of the 

tank properly engages with the solution port on the base.

D. Release the transport wheels by pressing on the foot lever.  This will 

lower the brush and squeegees onto the floor.

E.  Plug the cord into a standard 120v outlet.

F.  Turn on the Vacuum Switch

G. Turn on the Water Control Switch

H. Turn on the Brush Control Switch
