Operation Procedures
Knowledge of the proper operation of the M3-500 is required to ensure user
safety and efficient performance of the extractor.
SET UP AND OPERATION
1. Electrical Cords:
Two 25’ power cords are supplied with the Olympus M3-500. Cord #1 powers Vacuum Motor #1 (and
Waste Pump if equipped with optional Auto Pump-out System.); Cord #2 powers the high pressure Solution
Pump and Vacuum Motor #2. The amperage required by each cord requires that the two cords be plugged
into separate 15amp or 20amp circuits. (With Auto Pump-out System Cord #1 requires a 20amp circuit.)
Plug the two power cords into two outlets from different circuits.
If you are not sure if you are connected to separate circuits, use a Breaker Buddy (item # AX49), available
from Hydro-Force, to test your circuits in the following manner:
•
Plug the cords into the two outlets being tested, and then plug the Breaker Buddy into the two cords.
•
If the green indicator light fails to light, you may be on the same circuit and must select a different
plug for one of the cords.
•
If the green indicator light comes on, you are plugged into two different circuits; connect the cords to
the machine and proceed with your set-up procedure.
If a circuit breaker trips during operation, reset the breaker and move the cord to another outlet as needed.
