Maintenance
Regular maintenance is required to keep your Carpet Extractor in proper working condition. Failure to properly
maintain your machine could void warranty. Thoroughly clean all equipment and accessories after each use:
• Rinse the solution and recover tanks with clean water.
• Flush the pump system with clean water, including all hoses and wand(s).
• Do not allow water to remain in the tanks after use.
• Lubricate all quick disconnects with WD-40 or similar lubricant.
• Clean vacuum float assembly screen.
WARNING: Disconnect electrical power cord before performing any service or maintenance inside the machine base
or before testing or repairing switches or power cords. Failure to do so may result in severe personal injury or death.

Clean Fresh Water Tank Filter
The fresh water tank filter is located at the bottom of the solution tank. Unscrew the filter counterclockwise and rinse with fresh
water. If necessary, use a tooth brush to remove detergent build-up. Note, a heavy build-up is a warning sign that the solution
system should be flushed. See the “Flush Chemical System” section.
Clean Vacuum Float Assembly Screen
Inside the recovery tank, on top of the stand pipe, is the vacuum float assembly. It functions to prevent debris and water from being
sucked into the vacuum motors. Operating the Carpet Extractor without the float assembly or with a poorly maintained assembly,
will greatly decrease the life of the vacuum motors and will void the warranty.
If debris builds up on this filter, it will reduce the vacuum air flow and may cause a significant decrease in the rate of water recovery.
If debris prevents the float ball from moving or seating inside the assembly, it may not stop the airflow when the tank fills with water
and the water will be sucked in the vacuums and blow out the exhaust.
To clean, twist off the float assembly from the stand pipe and clean the screen. Pull fibers and
lint off and rinse with clean water. Push the assembly back onto the stand pipe and replace the
recovery tank lid.
This screen should be cleaned frequently if the Carpet Extractor is being operated in an
environment which has an abnormal build-up of lint and debris, such as cleaning newly installed
carpet. Loss of vacuum is most normally associated with lint build-up in this filter at the top of
the vacuum stand pipe.
