When Cleaning is Finished
Draining and Cleaning
•
When the recovery tank is full, empty by using the
drain hose at the rear of machine (Fig 2). If a bucket
is used to empty the recovery tank, do not use the
same bucket to fill the solution tank as this can
result in putting dirt and grit into the solution line that
can block filters, orifices, and generally degrade the
solution line system (do not reuse solution). Take
care if using a bucket to empty the machine. Stop
flow before bucket overflows. Empty bucket and
repeat.

•
To empty solution tank, detach the wand from the
end of the vacuum hose and insert the vacuum hose
into the solution tank. Turn the vacuum switches to
the "on" position and transfer solution to recovery
tank and dispose of as outlined above. Clean
recovery filter at this time.
Transporting the machine
Incorrect lifting techniques may result in personal
injury. We advise that the manual handling regulations
are followed. Do not expose the machine to rain or
moisture.
When transporting the machine ensure that all
components, tanks and removable parts are securely
fastened, and that the supply cord and plug are not
trailing.
Do not list or transport the machine whilst containing
liquid as this will add considerably to the weight.
Take extreme care when moving the machine up or
down steps or stairs.
Storage
•
Always switch off, empty, wipe down and dry the
machine after use.
•
Both the solution and recovery tanks should be
emptied and flushed out with clean water to ensure
the seals and pumps are free from any cleaning
detergents.
•
We recommend running the vacuum motor for
approx. 2 minutes after use to eliminate
condensation within the machine body, thus
ensuring the motor and particularly the bearings
remain dry.
•
Store machine with recovery tank lid removed and
dump valve open (Fig 3). Deodoriser may be left in
the tank to prevent unpleasant odours.

•
Wrap supply cord around handle ensuring that plug
is not trailing on the floor. Store the machine in a
dry indoor area only.

care with electrical parts.
•
Supply cord
- Regularly inspect sheath, plug and
cord anchorage for damage or loose connection.
Only replace the supply cord with the type specified
in these instructions.
•
Solution tank
– Check filter is clean and
undamaged. A damaged or missing filter must be
replaced or damage to pump head and spray jet
could occur.
•
Vacuum head
– Check and remove any debris or
lint build-up from the head.
•
Spray jet
– Check jet for blockage and full spray
pattern. Blow through jet to clean.
Do
not
use a pin,
as this could damage the jet.
•
Lubricate brass quick disconnects and drain valves
with a quality lubricant such as WD-40.
•
Flush solution systems after use with clear, clean
water. (A white vinegar solution may also be used).
This will counter-act hard water and alkaline
deposits and aid in keeping orifices clean.
•
Do not allow fluid either in solution or waste tank to
sit overnight. The unit should be emptied and
cleaned daily.
•
Clean the filter in the solution tank, the filters on the
vacuum stack in vacuum tank and all lint filters in
the inlet or vacuum tanks daily.
•
Do not use the same bucket to fill solution tank that
is used to remove waste from recovery tank.
•
When the unit is not in use, leave the recovery tank
lid open.
•
At the end of each day, run the vacuum for 2
minutes with lid open and filter off.
