INTRODUCTION
The Pacific Steamex TRIUMPH Machine is a fully self-contained, portable carpet extractor system and is intended for commercial
use. A wand with external vacuum and solution hoses are not necessary with your TRIUMPH machine, but available.
The TRIUMPH 870/1190/MX-21 has a 100 psi solution pump and a four (4) jet spraying system located on the bottom side of the
machine to apply solution to the carpet.
A rotating brush (16” on the 870/1190; 21” on the MX-21) is driven by a cogged belt system at approximately 1200 RPM’s. This
brush provides a very aggressive agitation of the solution into the carpet fibers to loosen ground-in dirt. The chevron pattern of
the brush bristles channels the dirty water to the center of the aluminum vacuum head for better extraction.
The heavy duty three-stage vacuum motor on the TRIUMPH 1190 & MX-21 is capable of 137 inches of water lift; while the
TRIUMPH 870’s two-stage vacuum motor creates 117 inches of water lift. Your TRIUMPH machine extracts virtually all of the
dirty solution from the carpet fibers, which dramatically reduces drying time.
The TRIUMPH 870/1190/MX-21 machines are very “user friendly” machines. All controls are located at the top of the handle
grips, literally at your fingertips. The recovery tank drain valve is located high enough for the recovered solution to be drained
into a five (5) gallon bucket or bathroom toilet.
TRIUMPH 870/1190/MX-21 machines are balanced on large 10 diameter wheels for ease of operation and transporting. The
machines can be rotated 360
°
with relative ease, even when filled with solution.
The location of the wheel axle and the large diameter wheels allows for easy transporting up and down steps when empty. It is not
recommended these machines be transported up or down steps while containing any liquid in either the solution or recovery
tanks.
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the machine - if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in figures B and C may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in figure B if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (figure A) can be installed by a qualified electri-
cian. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only three-wire 14/3 or larger gauge approved extension cords that have
three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the
appliance’s plug. Replace or repair any damaged cords or plugs.
When servicing, refer to authorized person only. Use only identical replace-
ment parts.
