PREPARATION AND TRANSPORTATION
PRESTART-UP CHECKS
The SELF CONTAINED EXTRACTOR is very simple and easy to operate. Very little maintenance and service are
required to keep your machine in top operating condition.
The following procedures are recommended to maintain the high level of performance expected from your machine.
They are also intended to identify potential safety hazards and problems which could reduce the service life of the
machine.
READ BEFORE TRANSPORTING OR OPERATING YOUR MACHINE:
1.
Check
power cord
,
plug
and
strain relief
for worn or damaged insulation. Repair or replace if necessary.
2.
Make sure the
drain valve
is closed (T-Handle pushed down). If the valve is left open, the vacuum is dramatically
reduced and any recovered solution will drain out.
3.
The
knob
for the
spool valve
is located on the lower back panel of the machine. During normal operation as a
self-contained extractor this knob is turned toward
“machine”
(horizontal position).
It should be turned to the
“tool” position (vertical)
when a wand or other tool is being used.1.
4.
Lock the
brush chassis
in the up position for storage or transport. This is done by pulling up on the
lift-handle
at the front of the machine, then resting the round lift stop behind the bracket.
5.
Inspect the
vacuum head
and
brush
by tilting the machine backwards, allowing it to balance on the wheels and
drain valve spout.
a) Vacuum Head:
Check for any damage. Burrs on the contact surface may snag carpet fibers. Gouges,
scratches and chipped areas can reduce vacuum performance.
b) Brush:
Inspect for damaged or missing bristles, replace if necessary.
Return the machine to the upright position.
6.
Check the
inlet strainer
for damage or debris. It is located at the bottom of the fresh water tank. Holes in the
screen can allow contaminants to enter the pump resulting in costly repairs. A clogged strainer will reduce pump
performance and may cause permanent damage.
7.
Remove the clear dome on top of the recovery tank.
a)
Inspect for damage to the
dome
and
gasket
. Dirt or debris on the gasket or sealing surface of the tank
can cause a vacuum leak and reduce vacuum performance.
b)
The
intake filter screen
at the vacuum hose connection should be clean of debris and checked periodi-
cally for any damage, replace if necessary.
c)
Ensure that the
deflector shield
and
intake
filter
are in their proper positions to prevent recovered
water from entering the vacuum motor (blower).
Return the cover to its original position with the front lip seated under the retaining bracket.
YOUR MACHINE IS NOW READY FOR OPERATION.
TRANSPORTING
The SELF CONTAINED EXTRACTOR is equipped with large diameter (10
”
) wheels for balance and ease of transport-
ing. It is designed to be tilted back on the wheels and pushed or pulled.
The brush chassis should be locked in the
up position any time the machine is in storage or being transported.
The large diameter of the wheels permits you to pull the machine up stairs in the same manner you would use a hand
truck.
Never go up or down stairs with recovered water or solution in the tanks.
Always empty the machine
completely before transporting up or down stairs or in a vehicle.
When empty, the machine may be laid down on the side for transporting without damaging any of its components.
