PREPARATION
1.
Check
power cord
,
plug
and
strain relief
for worn or
damaged insulation. Repair or replace if necessary.
2.
Inspect the
vacuum shoe
and
brush
by tilting the ma-
chine backwards.
a)
Vacuum Shoe:
Check for any damage. Burrs on
the contact surface may snag carpet fibers. Gouges,
scratches and chipped areas can reduce vacuum
performance.
b)
Brush:
Inspect for damaged or missing bristles,
replace if necessary.
Return the machine to the upright position.
OPERATION
The following procedures are intended to describe and de-
tail proper operation of your machine. Failure to follow
these recommended procedures can reduce the machine’s
performance and may result in damage to the machine.
1.
Vacuum
the area to be cleaned
. Your machine will do
a more thorough job if the loose dirt and debris are
removed before the extraction process begins.
2.
Fill the
fresh water tank
with
non-foaming
carpet con-
centrate per the dilution instructions for 3 gallons and
connect the Power Fill faucet adapter to your faucet.
Hot water is recommended, but not required. Do not
use water hotter than 60
°
C (140
°
F). Or, using a clean
bucket, mix 3 to 3-1/2 gallons of hot water with concen-
trate. Then pour the mixture into the solution tank. DO
NOT OVERFILL.
3.
Ensure the hose coupling on the rear of the machine is
connected.
4.
Use of an extension cord is not recommended. How-
ever, if one is necessary, use only a
14 gauge
or larger
cord. Smaller or inferior cords are dangerous and may
cause poor performance or damage to your machine.
5.
After the machine is filled with solution,
connect the
power cord plug to a
115 volt
grounded
wall socket
.
See Grounding Instructions.
6.
The
vacuum and pump switches
are located on top of
the machine.
a)
Turn the
vacuum switch on
to start the vacuum
motor.
b)
The pump switch is for use with the accessory
tools ONLY. SEE “OPERATING WITH AC-
CESSORY TOOLS”.
7.
Pull
backward during operation
. DO NOT AT-
TEMPT TO OPERATE IN A FORWARD DIREC-
TION.
Position yourself behind the machine, grasp
the handle and depress the red switch on the handle
.
This switch activates the brush drive motor and the
pump to spray cleaning solution. Walk slowly back-
ward and continue to depress the red switch to per-
form the cleaning process.
8.
Release the red switch approximately 6 inches
be-
fore completing each pass
. The spray jet is located
behind the vacuum head, making it necessary to pull
the machine a few inches further to pick up the last
amount of solution dispensed onto the carpet.
3.
Check the
inlet filter
in the opening of the fresh water/
solution tank for damage or debris. Holes in the screen
can allow contaminants to enter the pump resulting in
costly repairs. A clogged screen will reduce pump per-
formance and may cause permanent damage.
4.
Remove the clear dome on top of the recovery tank.
a)
Inspect for damage to the
dome
and
gasket
. Dirt
or debris on the gasket or sealing surface of the tank
can cause a vacuum leak and reduce vacuum perfor-
mance.
b)
The
intake filter screen
in the standpipe should
be clean of debris, securely in place and checked peri-
odically for any damage, replace if necessary.
Return the cover to its original position.
