Operations
Upholstery Cleaning
Upholstery tool, (See Options Section)
1. To protect fabrics, reduce solution temperature as
needed by opening the solution temp control valve
on the control panel. Engine speed may also be
reduced slightly to reduce heat and vacuum.
2. Use one (1) spray tip in tool.
Shutdown and Daily Maintenance
1. Turn chemical valve to “NO CHEM”.
2. Allow the unit to run for 2 minutes with the vacuum
hose disconnected to remove moisture. Spray
water displacing lubricant into the vacuum lubrica-
tion cup. This will prevent corrosion due to
moisture.
3. Set engine throttle at idle position and allow the
water temperature to cool down, utilizing the
solution temp control valve in the open position to
bleed off residual hot water left in the system.
4. Close solution temp control valve and turn off
ignition switch.
5. Disconnect all hoses and tools.
6. Drain waste tank and rinse with clean water.
De-flooding operations
De-flooding operations involve removal of water from
carpet and flooring. This differs from normal cleaning
operations in that no water or solution is required. An
automatic waste pump-out is highly recommended for
all de-flooding operations due to the large amount of
water removal often required.
1. Start unit.
2. Set pressure regulator at 100 psi.
3. Shut off solution pump.
4. Begin de-flooding operations.
5. Under almost all conditions, the unit will sufficiently
cool itself. If you find yourself operating in extreme
heat, attach a clean fresh water supply to unit. Turn
solution pump on and open solution temperature
control valve at least one full turn.
Freezing Protection
I f the unit is exposed to freezing weather the water
in the unit may freeze, causing SERIOUS DAMAGE
to the unit. To avoid this, the following is recom-
mended during the cold weather season.
Si l'appareil est exposé au gel, l'eau dans l'appareil
risque de geler, causant ainsi des DOMMAGES
MAJEURS à l'appareil. Pour éviter une telle situa-
tion, il est recommandé de faire ce qui suit durant la
saison froide.
When the unit is not in use, always park it in a heated
building.
While in operation, avoid long shutdowns as the unit
provides heat while running. Shut it down just prior to
leaving for the next job.
If a heated building is not available, we recommend that
you winterize the unit with anti-freeze. At present, it is
only possible to winterize units, which do not have an
auxiliary water tank. Units with auxiliary water tanks
must be stored in a heated building when not in use.
