GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The 120 V. A/C and the 220 V. A/C models have been outfitted with the appropriate
grounded connectors. Make sure the machine is connected to a grounded outlet
having the same configuration as the grounded plug. No adapter should be used
with this machine. Any modification to the connectors will void the warranty.
PREPARING THE MACHINE (All Fastracts Equipment)
IMPORTANT: For all Fastracts BX12 equipment, use only the correct Eagle Power high pressure,
high heat wands & upholstery tools. They are designed to deliver and maintain the correct gallons per
minute (GPM), pressure (PSI) and heat when attached to the Fastracts pump system. Use of other
manufacturers wands can cause over-wetting of carpet, damage to the pump system (including hose
& fittings), lack of pressure and heat.
1. Pour clean solution into the solution tank.
2. Slide vacuum hose on to the black hose adapter (located at the back of machine) and the
wand or upholstery tool.
3. Connect the male end of the solution hose to the wand and the female end to the machine
by sliding knurled collar on the female quick disconnect fitting back. Push the male fitting in
and release the knurled collar until it snaps back.
4. Make sure the drain valve is closed by pushing the T-handle all the way in.
5. Previously shampooed carpets usually have a heavy build-up of old shampoo residue which
can cause the vacuum system to ingest foam and result in damage to the vacuum motor.
Remember to add recommended amount of defoamer to the recovery tank every time you fill
the solution tank.
6. If a Powermate (Models 1204AC & 1800AC-100) is to be used with the machine, connect the
male plug on the wand to the optional receptacle on the machine.
For Fastracts BX12 with heat, see additional instructions below.
Additional instructions for BX12 with heat:
1. Be sure to fill solution tank with water before plugging in machine.
2. Plug heater power cord and machine power cord into separate outlets on separate circuits.
3. turn on heater switch when you are ready to clean.
4. CAUTION: When the green light on the heater is on, the heater is heating. When the green light
is off, the water in the heater tank is up to temperature and the thermostat switch in the heater
has turned the heater off. It will automatically turn on again when the water temperature in the
heater has cooled.
