1.  Flush the entire system, including floor tool, 

hand tool, etc., with 1 to 3 gallons of clean, hot 
water. 

 
2.  Vacuum out the solution tank. 
 
3.  Rinse tank with fresh water. Periodically 

inspect the recovery tank and decontaminate if 
necessary, using a Hospital Grade Virucide or 
a 1-10 bleach to water solution. Wastewater 
should be disposed of properly. 

 
4.  Occasionally check filter screen at the bottom 

of the solution tank and rinse clean with hot 
water if necessary. 

 
5.  Inspect hoses for wear.  Frayed or cracked 

hoses should be replaced to avoid vacuum or 
solution pressure loss. 

 
6.  Inspect power cord for wear or damage.  This 

cable will lie on wet carpet.  To prevent 
electrical shock replace cords that are frayed 
or have cracked insulation immediately. 

 
7.  Clean all dirt and obstructions from drain valve 

and gaskets to prevent possible leakage and 
premature wear. 

 
8.  Run clean water through solution pump when 

work is complete. 

 
9.  Empty both tanks and rinse, run vacuum (s) for 

at least one minute to dry motor(s). 

 
10. Store with access covers removed to allow 

tanks to dry. 

 
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 
 
1.  Twice a month, flush a white vinegar solution 

(One quart vinegar to two gallons of water) or 
anti-browning solution (mixed as directed) 
through the extractor, turning pump switch 
on/off several times, flush with clean water.  
This will prevent build-up of alkaline residue in 
the system. 

 
2.  Check hoses for wear, blockages, or damage.  

Frayed or cracked hoses should be repaired or 
replaced to eliminate vacuum or solution 
pressure. 

 
3.  Check all handles, switches, knobs, electrical 

cables and connections on your machine for 
damage.  If the cable insulation is broken or 
frayed, repair or replace it immediately.  Don’t 
take chances with electrical fire or shock. 

 
4.  Clean out solution tank. Remove and clean 

solution screen. 

 
5.  Clean outside of all tanks and check for 

damage. 

 
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE 
 
1.  Check all bearings for noise and wear. 
2.  Check all gaskets for wear and leakage. 
3.  Check pump pressure; observe spray pattern 

and check gauge if necessary. 

4.  Check overall performance of machine. 
 
SEMI-ANNUALLY 
 
1.  Check vacuum motor brushes. 
 
LUBRICATION 
 
For hose fitting lubrication, use a light silicone 
lubricant which will not damage o-rings. 
 
STORAGE 
 
Thoroughly clean machine if it is to be stored. 
Protect this machine from freezing while in 
storage.
