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 
float 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. Turn off all the switches. 

 

4. Plug the power cords into properly grounded 

outlets. Do not connect both cords to the same 
outlet. Green indicator light will illuminate 
when on separate power circuits. 
 

5. Fill the holding tank with clear water. NOTE: If 

you choose to take advantage of the Auto 
Dump and/or Auto Fill features on this 
machine, follow steps 5A through 5E, 
otherwise got to Step 6. 

5A.  Auto Dump – simply connect garden 
hose on the Auto Dump garden hose to the 
auto dump connector located on the upper 
right corner of the recovery tank. 
 
5B.  Attach a garden hose to the Auto 
Dump fitting. Place the open end of the 
garden hose into a drain or toilet. 
 
5C.  Turn on the Auto Dump Pump switch  
when you begin cleaning, and the auto 
dump pump will turn on when the 
recovery tank is nearly full and pump out 
the recovered water. The pump will 
automatically turn off when the tank has 
emptied. 
 
5D.  Auto Fill -  Connect the water source 
to the stainless steel auto fill hose on the 
front of the holding tank on the front of 
the machine. 
 
5E.  Turn on the water at the source. The 
solution tank will fill with water and when 
it reaches capacity, a valve will shut off the 

water flow. Once the water in the solution tank 
has fallen, as you clean, the auto fill valve will 
allow the water to begin flowing into the tank 
again. 
 
6. Connect the solution hose and the vacuum 

hose to the machine and to the cleaning tool. 
 

7. Turn on the pump and spray through the tool 

for a few seconds to fill the lines with water. 
 

8. Pre-spray the area to be cleaned with the 

detergent of your choice. 
 

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 pimp 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 vacuum motors. 

 

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.  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.
