A. SET UP AND OPERATION
1.
Upon removing your new mini-extractor from the
box, loosen the two latches at either end of the
machine that secure the recovery tank to the
solution tank. Remove the recovery tank from
the solution tank.
2.
Pour up to 2 U.S. gallons (7.6 liters) of clean, hot
water into the blue solution tank.
To avoid
possible tank distortion, water temperature
must not exceed 140
°°°°
F (60
°°°°
C).
Add a non-
foaming cleaning solution concentrate for use in
hot water extractors at the proportions noted on
the container (see list below).
3.
Place the recovery tank back onto the solution
tank and refasten the two latches.
4.
Plug the power cord into grounded outlet (see
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS).
5.
Connect the vac and cleaning tool hoses to the
extractor. Insure that the female solution hose
coupler is securely locked onto the male coupler
on the extractor.
WARNING!! To prevent possible disease hazard,
before attempting to clean bodily fluids spills,
you must kill any viruses, germs or bacteria
present in the bodily fluid.

6.
Turn on the power switch on the side of the
extractor. Squeeze the solution lever on the
cleaning tool to spray cleaning solution and
place the vacuum head on the surface to be
cleaned.
IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS TEST UPHOLSTERY FOR
COLOR FASTNESS IN AN INCONSPICUOUS
PLACE. Also, to avoid prolonged drying times, do
not spray too much solution in any one area.
7.
When cleaning, be sure to monitor the level of
recovered solution in the recovery tank. When
the solution reaches the FULL mark, shut off
extractor, loosen the latches and empty the
recovery tank.
WARNING!
DO NOT operate the extractor if the
solution level is above the FULL mark on the
recovery tank; water could be drawn directly into the
vac motor and this will damage the motor.
NOTE: The solution tank is not intended to run
dry. When using this extractor for vacuum pick-
up only, insure that the pump switch is turned
off.
B. WHEN FINISHED OPERATING
WARNING!! Before making any adjustments or
performing maintenance, disconnect the power
cord from the electrical source.
1.
Empty recovery tank completely and rinse it
several times to remove any dirt or debris that
may be left behind.
2.
Tip the solution tank to the rear over a sink to
drain any unused cleaning solution and rinse
with clean water to remove any suds left by the
cleaning chemicals.
3.
Check the spray jet on the cleaning tool for full
spray pattern and inspect vac head for any
obstructions.
C. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1.
Twice a month, flush a white vinegar solution
(one quart vinegar to two gallons of water) or
anti-browning solution (mixed as directed)
through the extractor. This will prevent build-up
of alkaline residue in the system.
2.
If spray jet becomes clogged, remove the spray
tip, wash it thoroughly, and blow dry.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use pins, wire, etc. to clean
nozzle as this could destroy spray pattern.
3.
Apply silicone lubricant to solution nipple.
4.
Periodically inspect all hoses, electrical cable,
and connections on your machine. Frayed or
cracked hoses should be repaired or replaced to
eliminate vacuum or solution pressure loss. If
the cable insulation on the power cord is broken
or frayed, repair or replace it immediately. Don't
take chances with electrical fire or shock.
