SET-UP & OPERATION:
1.
Inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tools for cleanliness and completeness.
CAUTION: Always make sure the float cage is clean and the ball can travel freely before
turning on the machine.
2.
Screw the lid on the recovery tank. Close the drain gate.
3.
Fill the holding tank with clear water.
NOTE
: Although this machine is designed to supply instant hot water, the addition of warm water to the
solution tank would increase heater efficiency. Never use water above 130º F/54º C in the solution tank.
4.
Turn off all the switches. Plug the power cords into properly grounded outlets. Do not connect both cords to the
same outlet. The green, circuit locator light (
5
) on the switch plate should light up. If the locator light does not
come on, try different outlets until it does.
5.
Connect the priming hose to the machine, and position the open end of the hose over the solution tank. Turn the
pump ON (
3
) to prime the air out of the pump. When the water is clear (no air in it) turn the pump off, and remove
the priming hose.
NOTE:
If priming is difficult, place the open end of the priming hose into the vacuum inlet hose
barb, and turn the vacuum on. Use your hand to block the open area in the hose barb. This will allow the pump and
the vacuum to work together to get the water moving. Priming may take 20 - 60 seconds, and the solution tank
should be full.
Once the pump has been primed, turn off the motor(s) off. Remove the priming hose.
6.
Turn on the Heat switch (
4
), and wait two minutes for the heat exchanger to reach temperature.
7.
Pre-spray with the detergent of your choice.
If you choose to add a detergent to the solution tank, be sure to
mix well, and always follow the use & dilution instructions on the chemical label. Use a chemical with a pH
between 5 and 10.
8.
Attach the spray hose to the solution quick disconnect and the vacuum hose to the hose barb on the
recovery tank. Attach the other ends of the hoses to the cleaning tool.
9.
Turn on the vacuum (2).
10.
Turn the pump ON and begin cleaning.
11.
Use defoamer any time foaming occurs to prevent damage to the motor or other components.
NOTE
: Foam will
not lift the ball float.
12.
Monitor the water level in the solution tank. Do not let the pump run dry.
13.
When the solution tank gets low, turn off the pump and the vacuum, fill the solution tank, empty
and clean the recovery tank.
14.
When finished with the job, remove any unused solution from the solution tank, and run a few gallons of
clean water through the system. Drain the recovery tank by opening the drain gate over a drain or a bucket.
Disconnect the hoses from the cleaning tool.
NOTE: If the green, circuit locator light does not illuminate when the cords are plugged in, then both cords are on
the same circuit. Try other outlets with one of the cords until you get the locator light to come on. NOTE: If the
heat switch is turned on when both cords are on the same circuit, the breaker in the wall may trip.
AUTO VACUUM SHUT OFF:
When the recovery tank is full, the ball float will shut-off the suction to prevent the machine from overflowing.
NOTE: The float may not work if there is foam in the tank. Always use defoamer to prevent overflow.
