8. Release the red button approximately 6 inches be-
fore completing each pass . The spray jets are 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.
9. Tilt the machine back on the rear wheels and walk
forward to position the machine along side the previous
pass (slightly overlapping).
10. As dirty solution is recovered, some foaming may be
noted. Excessive foaming can be counteracted with
liquid defoamer applied according to the chemical
manufacturing directions. Do not allow foam to rise
into or near the dome; this will harm the vacuum
motor. Use defoamer or empty and flush the recovery
tank.
11. To empty the recovery tank , remove the dome as-
sembly and lift the tank out. Dispose of the recovered
water properly.
12. If streaking occurs after a period of operating time,
this means the solution (fresh water) tank is near empty.
Streaking is eliminated by adding more water and
chemical solution to the tank. Empty the recovery
tank every time you fill the solution tank.
13. To empty the solution tank connect the Power Fill
adaptor to the vacuum inlet on the front of the dome.
Turn the vacuum switch on.
5. Make sure the brush assembly lift lever is locked in the
raised position.
6. Store your machine in a dry, protected area.
Do not
expose this machine to rain, standing water or freez-
ing temperatures.
Periodically:
After continuous or repeated use the jets and check valves
will need cleaning: Unplug the cord and empty the recovery
and solution tanks. Tilt the machine backward. Remove
the jet caps, jets and check valves shown in the brush as-
sembly illustration and soak in white vinegar until visible
deposits are dissolved, then scrub with a soft bristle brush.
Note: jets and check valves should be replaced once a
year, because they tend to erode under extended use. This
may cause overuse of solution and streaking.
After Each Use:
1. Clean the dome top, intake filter screen, gasket and
recovery tank with fresh, clean water. Do not reinstall
the dome until the next use, this will allow the recovery
tank to dry out.
2. Flush the solution tank and inlet screen with clean water.
Vacuum all water out using the Power Fill adaptor.
3. Remove any debris on the scrub brush, vacuum head
and around the spray jets.

The ACHIEVER 40 self-contained extractor is designed
and manufactured to provided years of trouble free service
with a minimum of maintenance and service. The follow-
ing recommendations are intended to assist the operator and
Service Technician in performing routine maintenance.
WARNING: Always unplug your machine before per-
forming any service. Severe personal injury could result
if the electrical power is not disconnected.
OPERATING WITH ACCESSORY TOOLS
1. To use an accessory tool disconnect the supply hose at
the rear of the machine and connect the accessory tool
hose .
2. Next, disconnect the machine’s vacuum hose from the
front of the dome assembly and connect the accessory
tool vacuum hose to the dome.
3. Turn the vacuum and accessory pump switches on.
Solution will be dispensed while the accessory tool
trigger is depressed.
Watch the dome to make sure the recovery tank does
not overflow.
Note: The pump motor is equipped with an automatic
thermal protection device. If the motor overheats for any
reason, the thermal protector will activate and automati-
cally turn the motor off. If this occurs the operator should
turn the manual pump switch to the off position and allow
approximately fifteen minutes for the motor to cool. When
the motor has cooled to a safe operating temperature, the
thermal protector will automatically close and allow power
to be supplied to the motor via the manual pump switch.
The operator will be able to resume normal operation. If
the pump motor shuts down repeatedly, it should be checked
at an Authorized Service Center.
