SET-UP and OPERATION:

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). NOTETURN

THE HEAT RECIRCULATION SWITCH OFF BEFORE PRIMING THE PUMP.

3. Attach the priming hose to the machine and place the open end into the tank.

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 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 the heat knob clockwise to the desired temperature.

IF YOU WANT TO PRE-HEAT THE SOLUTION IN THE HOLDING TANK

7. Turn on both the pump and heat recirculation switches. NOTE: this switch will recirculate

heated water back to the holding tank, until it reaches 125 °F.  At that point, the

recirculation will automatically stop.  If the temperature of the water in the tank drops below

125 °F, and if the recirculation switch is still turned ON, the system will begin to recirculate

the water again until it gets back up to 125 °F.  You can choose to let the solution in your

holding tank reach 125° or you can choose to begin cleaning sooner than that.

NOTE: the time that it will take for your solution to reach 125 °F will vary with the temperature

of the solution that you put into the tank, the ambient temperature, the amount of solution in

your tank, etc.

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

cleaning.

9. Refill and empty the tanks as necessary.

10. 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.
