OPERATING PROCEDURES
OPERATION (continued)
7. Pull backward during operation. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE IN A FORWARD DIRECTION. Position yourself behind
the machine, grasp the handle and gently lift up on the actuator bar. Lifting the actuator bar activates the brush drive
motor and the pump. Walk slowly backward to perform the cleaning process.
8. Release the actuator bar approximately 6 inches before completing each pass. The spray jets are located
behind the vacuum head making it necessary to pull the machine a few inches further to pick up the last amount of
solution dispensed onto the carpet.
9. Tilt the machine back on the rear wheels and walk forward to position the machine along side the previous pass
(slightly overlapping).
10. As dirty solution is recovered, some foaming may be noted. Excessive foaming can be counteracted with liquid
defoamer applied according to the chemical manufacturers directions to the inside of the recovery tank. DO NOT
ALLOW FOAM TO RISE INTO OR NEAR THE DOME. THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR VACUUM MOTOR. Use
defoamer or empty and flush the recovery tank.
11. To drain the recovery tank, place an empty bucket under the drain valve located on the rear of the machine. To open the
drain valve, pull the T-handle up. Close the drain when the bucket is full or the recovery tank is empty. Dispose of the
recovered water properly.
12. If streaking occurs after a period of operating time, this means the solution (fresh water) tank is near empty. Streaking is
eliminated by adding more water and chemical solution to the tank.
13. To drain the solution tank, attach the small drain or “pump out” hose to the accessory quick connect on the back of the
machine. Turn the spool valve lever to the “TOOL” position. Place the open end of the hose into a bucket and
turn on the accessory pump switch. When empty, turn off the pump switch and remove the hose from the quick
connect. Also return the spool valve knob to the “MACHINE” position.
14. After each use clean the dome, intake filter and gasket. Do not reinstall the dome until the next use. This will allow the
recovery tank to dry out.
15. Raise the brush chassis for storage.
OPERATING WITH ACCESSORY TOOLS
1. Disconnect the machine suction (vacuum) hose from the right side (from operators position) of the recovery tank dome
and connect the vacuum hose of hand tool/wand set to the that same port on the dome plate.
2. Connect the hand tool/wand set solution hose to the brass quick disconnect on the back, left of the machine.
3. Turn pump direction valve at the back, left of the machine to “TOOLS” setting.
4. Turn the vacuum switch to “ON” setting
5. Turn accessory pump switch on control panel to “ON” setting then begin to use your wand or hand tool.
SERVICING
This self-contained extractor is designed and manufactured to provide years of trouble free service with a minimum of
maintenance and service. The following recommendations are intended to assist the operator and Service Technician in
performing routine maintenance.
Failure to follow these recommendations can result in damage to your machine and diminished performance.
WARNING: Always unplug your machine before performing any service. Severe personal injury could result if the
electrical power is not disconnected.
After each use:
1. Always follow through with the recommended prestart-up checks found in the Preparation section of this manual.
2. Store your machine in a dry, protected area. Do not expose this machine to rain, standing water or freezing
temperatures.
3. We recommend a good thorough cleaning after each use. Clean the dome top, intake filter screen and recovery tank
with fresh, clean water. Flush the fresh water tank and strainer periodically with clean water.
4. After continuous or repeated use, the jet tips and strainer/check valves will need cleaning. Unplug the cord and empty
the recovery and solution tanks. Tilt the machine backward allowing it to balance on the wheels and drain valve.
Remove the jet caps shown in the brush chassis illustration and clean with white vinegar and soft bristle brush. Remove
the jet tips and strainer/check valves and soak in vinegar until visible deposits are dissolved, then scrub with a soft
bristle brush.
Jet tips and strainer/check valves should be replaced once a year because they tend to erode under extended use. This
can cause overuse of solution and possible streaking.
