GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

MACHINE SET UP

This machine is designed as a direct feed solution system with a recovery tank with the option 
to auto dump.
To set up your machine:
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure hoses are in good condition and spray nozzle on wand is tight.
2. To prep your direct feed solution system, connect the machine to the water source with a 
garden hose.
3. When not using the auto dump feature, make sure the brass cap is screwed tightly on the 
hose connector fitting on the dump pump on the rear of the machine. If using the auto dump 
feature, connect the dump hose to the brass hose fitting on the back of the dump pump and 
place the open end of the hose in a drain. Make sure the drain hose (recovery tank) is closed, 
and the lid is tight on the recovery tank.
4. Connect the vacuum hose to the wand.
5. Plug each extension cord into a separate and grounded 15 amp wall socket circuit. The green 
dual circuit light will be lit. If the light does not come on, check the circuit breaker box on the 
wall, and/or try different outlets until it does turn on.
6. Prime the pump: Ensure that the pump, vacuum and auto dump switches are off. Prime the 
pump by squeezing the trigger on the wand to release the water. When a steady flow of water 
goes through, then your machine is ready to be used.
7. Turn on the vacuum and pump switch. If using the auto dump feature, turn on the auto dump 
switch.
8. To adjust the pressure, while the trigger is activated on the hard surface tool with the pump 
switch on, adjust the pressure unloader, next to the PSI gage, to between 400-1200 PSI.

CLEANING WITH THE HARD SURFACE TOOL

PREPARING THE CLEANING AREA

1. It is suggested to sweep the area to be cleaned prior to operating the machine.
2. Pre-Spray – with the use of a pump-up sprayer, pre-spray the floor with an approved hard 
surface pre-spray detergent.
Only use commercially available floor cleaners intended for machine application. Follow proper 
mixing and handling instructions on the detergent bottle.

1. Verify the vacuum hose and solution hose are securely connected to the machine and hard 
surface tool.
2. Ensure the relief valve on the hard surface tool is closed. If the hard surface tool starts to 
stick to the floor due to excessive vacuum pressure, slide the suction relief valve to adjust the 
pressure located at the head of the unit.
3. Turn on the pump and vacuum switches. Turn on the auto-dump switch if using this feature.
4. For optimum cleaning results pull trigger while moving the hard surface tool in a front to back 
motion.

Note: Use defoamer with each use to prevent vacuum flooding.

5. When finished with the job, shut off all switches. Before disconnecting solution hose, relieve 
the water pressure from the hard surface tool by holding the trigger on the hard surface tool.
