Prepare Unit For Use
*All extractors -- no matter what the time of year -- are shipped with antifreeze in the pump and
solution lines.
Prior to first use, fill the tank with one quart of warm water. Attach the hoses and
using the hand tool, flush out the system by spraying the one quart of water through the pump.
*Attach the 1-1/2-inch vacuum hose and the brass quick disconnect.
*Fill the base unit (the recovery tank must be removed) with warm water (less than 100 degrees
Fahrenheit). Fill to approximately 4 inches from the top. Use a liquid detergent made for carpet
cleaning or upholstery. Read and mix to the dilution ratios as directed.

damaged.

is broken.
Do not operate if the unit is in
standing water
.
Do not use
volatile substances
or operate where volatile substances exist.

120 degrees Fahrenheit
.
Do not use

.
Do not use unit unless
completely assembled
.
Use only
liquid detergents
. Powders do not fully dissolve and damage motor.
Always us defoamer
. Foam will suspend moisture particles that damage motor.
The Spot-Xtract is designed with a vacuum restrictor to reduce the vacuum
when the recovery tank is full. When the vacuum is restricted the liquid will
not travel up the nozzle of the hand tool. The motor speeds up (the sound of
the motor will change) and this is your warning to dispose of recovered solu-
tion. The restrictor is a foam float that slides up and down the vacuum tube in
the recovery tank as shown in photo on the right.
Vacuum Shut-Off
Remove the vacuum hose from the upper body, un-clip,
rotate latch on the back of the unit and remove the
upper section of the spotter. Dispose of the used solu-
tion by pouring the solution out of the vacuum inlet
(not the hatch cover) into the toilet or janitor’s closet
sink.
