GENERAL INFORMATION 
As the carpet is being cleaned, check to see 
if there is  foam building up in the recovery 
bucket.  Add a little defoaming compound to the 
recovery tank but never to the solution tank. 
 
For infrequent use or long periods of 
storage, flush the system with a neutralizing 
solution of 1 quart white vinegar mixed with 2 
gallons hot water.

  

Flush the system with clean 

hot water after neutralizing. 
 
For hose fitting lubrication, use a light silicone 
lubricant which will not damage o-rings. 
 

 
PRE-RUN INSPECTION 
1.  Check all fittings and connectors for proper 

assembly. 

 
2.  Check all hoses for leaks.  Repair or replace 

any damaged hoses. 

 
3.  Check power cord(s) for any damage.  If 

damaged, replace. 

 
EQUIPMENT SET-UP 
1.  Plug power cord from machine into properly 

grounded wall outlet. 

 
2.  Turn vacuum motor switch on and off to 

make sure there is electrical power at 
machine. 

 
3.  Connect vac hose to machine.  Slide the 

swivel cuff over the outlet on the tank. 

 
4.  Connect the hose to your machine and 

wand.  Pull back the knurled collar on the 
quick disconnect coupler (located on the 
solution tank) and push into the connection.   

 

To avoid leaks, check to be sure that a 
positive connection was made. 

 
5.  Using a clean container, fill the solution tank 

with clean hot water.  Mix in a non-foaming 
cleaning concentrate for use in hot water 
extraction machines, following the 
manufacture’s instructions printed on 
container. 

 
NOTE:  When using a powder cleaner, pre-mix 
with hot water in a clean container before adding 
to the solution tank. 
 
6.  Turn pump and vacuum switch(s) to the on 

position. 

 
7. Start 

cleaning. 

 
EMPTYING AND CLEANING 
 

large particles that may damage vacuum(s) 
as well as allow liquid into the vacuum 
motor(s) without activating the float shutoff. 
 
1.  Before proceeding, make certain that the 

nozzle is functioning properly. 

 

a.  To check, hold the wand about one foot 

above the surface to be cleaned and 
open the wand valve.  A full spray should 
be observed from the nozzle. 

 
b.  If the nozzle is not showing a full spray 

pattern, adjust nozzle for proper pattern, 
clean, or replace nozzle. 

 

2.  Normally, chemical is applied on the push 

stroke of the wand when cleaning.  
Vacuuming is done on the pull stroke.  For 
heavily soiled carpets the wand may be used 
in a scrubbing manner, applying chemical in 
both the push and pull stroke. 

 
3.  When cleaning, keep the working opening  

(wand mouth) flat on the surface being 
cleaned.  Keep the wand moving when the 
valve is open. 

 
4.  The shutoff float inside the vacuum tank will 

impede the vacuum flow when the vacuum 
tank is full. When this occurs, empty the 
vacuum tank by opening the dump valve and 
dispose of the waste in a proper manner.   

 
5.  Once the vacuum tank has been emptied, 

you may once again proceed with cleaning
