MACHINE COMPONENTS
Vacuum Dome
The vacuum dome is located on top of the recovery tank. It is held in place by vacuum suction when in
operation. Just underneath the vacuum dome there is a screen to prevent debris from entering the
vacuum tube leading to the vacuum motor.
Recovery Tank
The recovery tank is located on the top of the machine. It is attached to the solution tank (lower) by four
latches. It is possible to remove the recovery tank from the solution tank – but – you must first disconnect
the electrical connector at the rear of the machine. This connector has a swivel lock. To remove this
connector you should first disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Then simply rotate the
connector ring counterclockwise and gently pull down. Remove the black sound dampening plate and
vacuum hose from the rear of the solution tank. The solution tank can now be removed.
When using accessory cleaning attachments, the hose leading from the floor vacuum shoe should be
removed from the rear of the recovery tank and replaced with the accessory vacuum hose.
At the lower left side of the tank is the recovery drain hose. It is held in place with a hose clip. To remove
the cap, unscrew in a counterclockwise direction.
NOTE: When reconnecting the electrical connector to the recovery tank it is very important to
make sure the connection is secure – but do not over-tighten the connector ring. Do not force the
connector when re-attaching.
Solution Tank
The solution tank is the lower unit. It can be filled with water via the front spout using a clean bucket or
with a hose direct from the faucet. The solution tank has water conduit with an inlet filter and weight. The
weight must be at the inlet filter end of the hose to keep it submerged.
At the rear of the machine beneath the handle is a panel that encloses the pump. Exiting from this panel
is a quick coupler. For normal use, the short water hose from the water valve should be connected to the
quick coupler.
There is a water flow valve on the side of the unit that will allow the water volume to be adjusted from
maximum flow to zero. To locate this, follow the solution line from the coupler to the side of the machine.
When adjusting this flow, it is useful to remove the spraybar from the machine and start the pump to
ensure that water flow is sufficient to give a uniform spray pattern.
If accessory cleaning attachments are used, disconnect the solution line at the rear of the machine and
replace it with the accessory solution hose.
NOTE:
Never fill the unit using a dirty bucket. This may cause damage to the pump system.
Brush Housing
The brush housing is located in centre of the machine under the solution tank. To adjust the brush height
there is a round knob on the lower left-hand side at the rear of the machine. There are several drilled
holes in the knob to allow different brush height settings for different carpet types. To adjust the brush
height, simply pull the knob and rotate to the desired setting. The storage position is with the knob
rotated fully clockwise and locked in place.
NOTE:
When the machine is not in use the brush must be stored in the storage position to prevent
damage (flattening) of the brush roll.
