OPERATING PROCEDURES
The TRIUMPH 870/1190/MX-21 machines are the most “user
friendly” self-contained extractors available. The following
procedures are intended to describe and detail proper op-
eration of your machine. Failure to follow these recommended
procedures can reduce the machine’s performance and may
result in damage to the machine.
1. Vacuum the area to be cleaned. Your machine will do a
more thorough job if the loose dirt and debris are re-
moved before the extraction process begins.
2. Fill the fresh water tank (lower tank) with water and
Heavy Duty Carpet Extraction chemical. Hot water is
recommended, but not required. Do not use water hot-
ter than 60
°
C (140
°
F). Mix in chemicals according to
the chemical manufacturer’s recommendations. For best
results use Steamex Heavy Duty Carpet Cleaner.
3. Use of an extension cord is not recommended. How-
ever, if one is necessary, use only a 14 gauge or larger
cord. Smaller or inferior cords are dangerous and may
cause damage to your machine.
4. After the machine is filled with solution, connect the
power cord plug to a 115 volt grounded wall socket. See
Grounding Instructions.
5. Lower the floating brush chassis using the lift handle
located in the front of the machine. Lift the handle off
the lift stop bracket and lower until the brush contacts
the floor. Remember to always raise and lock the brush
chassis for storage and transport.
6. Turn the spool valve knob (located on the back of the
machine) to the:
a) “Machine” (horizontal) position for routine carpet
extraction as a self-contained unit, or
b) Turn it in the “Tool” (vertical) position when us-
ing a wand or tool.
7. The switch panel is located on top of the handle and
contains the following:
a) Turn the vacuum switch on to start the vacuum
motor.
b) Accessory only pump switch: Do not turn on the
accessory pump switch unless the spool valve knob
is turned to the tool position.
8. Pull backward during operation. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO OPERATE IN A FORWARD DIRECTION. Posi-
tion yourself behind the machine, grasp the handle
and gently lift up on the actuator bar. Lifting the ac-
tuator bar activates the brush drive motor and the pump.
Walk slowly backward to perform the cleaning pro-
cess.
9. Release the actuator bar approximately 6 inches be-
fore 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.
10. Tilt the machine back on the rear wheels and walk
forward to position the machine along side the previ-
ous pass (slightly overlapping).
11. As dirty solution is recovered, some foaming may be
noted. Excessive foaming can be counteracted with
liquid defoamer applied according to the chemical
manufacturing directions. Do not allow foam to rise
into or near the dome. Use defoamer or empty and
flush the recovery tank.
12. To drain the recovery tank, place an empty bucket
under the drain valve located on back 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.
13. 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.
14. 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 knob 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.
15. After each use clean the dome, intake filter and gas-
ket. Do not reinstall the dome until the next use, this
will allow the recovery tank to dry out.
16. Raise the brush chassis for storage.
