SET-UP:
1. Fill the holding tank with clear water and prespray with the detergent of your choice (we

recommend a CRI approved chemical).  Mix well.  Although this machine is designed to supply

instant hot water, the addition of warm water to the holding tank would increase heater

efficiency.  Never use water above 130º F/54º C in the solution tank.

2. Turn off all the switches.  Plug in cord #1. (This cord runs the pump and vacuum).
3. Attach the priming hose to the machine and place the open end into the tank (see Figure 2 on

previous page).

4. Turn on the pump (turn pump pressure dial all the way clockwise) and let it run until the pump

is fully primed (approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute).  Once the pump is primed, turn off the

pump and disconnect the priming hose.  Attach the cleaning hose and tool.
IF YOU WANT HEATED SOLUTION:

5. Plug in the the heater cord (identified by “H” on the back of the machine). NOTE:  If the green

circuit indicator light does not illuminate when the heater cord is plugged in, then both cords are

on the same circuit.  Try other outlets until the light comes on.  See Bypass Switch section (below)

if you are unable to get a green light.

6. Turn on the pump and spray through your tool a few times to fill the lines with solution. Begin

cleaning.

7. Refill and empty the tanks as necessary.
8. When finished with the job, vacuum all unused solution into the recovery tank, and dump the tank.

Clean the tanks and filters.  Clean the tool and hoses.  Store the machine in a heated location.

ELECTRIC CIRCUIT LOCATOR:

This unique, patented “smart system,” operated by a solid state circuit, will inform the operator when the

two cords are plugged into separate lines by illuminating the green, indicator light.  This helps prevent

tripping circuit breakers.

BYPASS SWITCH:

The bypass switch (#6) completely bypasses the circuit locator system.  Use this feature when you

cannot get the green Locator light (#5) to come on and you believe that the two cords are on separate

circuits.

CAUTION:  If the bypass switch is on when the two cords are plugged into the same

circuit, the breaker may trip.

AUTO VACUUM SHUTOFF:

When the recovery tank is full, the float system will shut off the vacuum motor to prevent the machine

from overflowing.  The float may not work in foam.  Always use a defoamer to prevent overflow.  Once

the vacuum motor shuts off, the vac switch (#7) must be turned off, the recovery tank emptied, and

then the vacuum swtich turned back on (up position) to get the vacuum motor started again.

CAUTION:  Always make sure the float is clean and travels freely before turning on the

machine.  A float that is stuck will cause the vacuum motor to suck in water, resulting in

vac motor damage.

PUMP PRESSURE:

Make sure the cleaning tool is spraying when adjusting the pressure, otherwise the pressure reading will

be inaccurate.
