VACUUM SYSTEM
The engine turning a vacuum pump generates the vacuum. The air is channeled in one side of the vacuum pump,
compressed and discharged on the opposite side, creating airflow. This airflow is used to do the work necessary for the
extraction process. A vacuum nozzle applied to the carpet surface removes moisture, dirt and spent chemicals. These
elements are conveyed back to a recovery tank utilizing hoses and the force of air. Particles of moisture and dirt are
separated in the recovery tank using a series of changes in direction and velocity. The air is then filtered and rushes into
the vacuum pump.
The vacuum pump also heats incoming air as it is compressed. The hot discharged air is forced down-stream into a
silencer for noise abatement. Exiting the silencer, this hot air is directed through the heat exchanger
The vacuum pump speed is factory set to maximize vacuum pressure and provide sustained system life. Do not alter the
vacuum speed outside the recommended range shown in the Technical Specifications section.
A level shut off sensor is located near the top of the waste tank and will shut down the unit before the tank is at full
capacity. This protects the vacuum pump from water damage. Note: Waste tank level shut off will not shut the unit off
due to high levels of foam. The use of a quality de-foamer is recommended.
