HOW to USE

ASSEMBLY

•You will ﬁnd the drain outlet diverter, a black plastic 45-degree elbow inside the machine. Place this elbow on the drain valve on the rear of the unit. The elbow will direct the ﬂow of recovered water downward.

Fill Solution Tank

CAUTION: Useonlycommerciallyavailablecarpetandupholstery cleaners intended for machine applications.

Mix hot water and approved extractor detergent in a clean bucket. Avoid mixing the chemical and water in the solution tank as the chemical does not dissolve completely and will clog your solution tank ﬁlter. Clogging the ﬁlter will starve the pump of ﬂuid and can shorten the life of the pump considerably. (Follow recommended mix ratio on extraction detergent label.)

NOTE: Do not overﬁll.

Connect Power Cord

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not lay cord on any wet surfaces.

•Attach power cord to extension cord provided.

•Plug extension cord into outlet.

Power Switches

The power switch is on the handle.

•Wear ear protection (not provided) if operating the cleaner for a prolonged period of time.

•Turn all three switches on.

•You will hear and feel the brush rotating in the machine.

Prime Pump

•The 100-PSI pump MUST be primed. To achieve this, pour enough water into the solution tank to cover the intake ﬁlter with at least 3 inches of water. With the machine turned on and the pump switch in the ON position, press the GREEN button between the handles until the air in the line is emptied and the jets are spraying evenly. After priming the pump, ﬁll the solution tank with your water/solution mix.

Begin Cleaning

•This unit cleans only while pulling backwards. To push, slightly tip the front of the unit off the surface of the carpet and roll forward. The brush roll should contact the carpet only on the backward stroke. To clean an area press the GREEN spray button and pull the machine backwards. Keep unit moving at a slow, steady pace. You can go over the area again without pressing the GREEN spray button to vacuum up additional solution from the carpet.

•You will notice the carpet you just cleaned will be damp. This is normal.

Tips:

For best results vacuum area to be cleaned before using the carpet cleaner. If used to clean up spills or messes, clean up as much of the spill or mess using paper towels before ﬁnal cleaning with the cleaner. If used on ﬁne fabrics or upholstery, test for color fastness in an inconspicuous place before cleaning. Do not leave unit running in one spot. Carpet damage could result.

Automatic Shut-Off

NOTE: Always use the wet vacuum cleaner in the upright position. If cleaner tips over, the suction automatically shuts off.

If the cleaner tips over:

•Turn off the power switch and set the cleaner upright.

•Wait a few seconds for the motor to come to a complete stop.

•Restart the motor.

When the tank is full:

•As the tank ﬁlls with liquid, the ball ﬂoat (inside the cage) rises until it seats itself against the bottom of the motor.

•The motor sound becomes a high pitch sound.

•The shut-off stops the suction.

•Turn off the power switch.

•Empty the tank (instructions follow).

Empty Tank

CAUTION: Turn off the power switch and unplug electrical cord to service.

•Empty contents into a suitable drain by pulling the T-handle on the waste valve. (See page 3.)

•Use special care when emptying full tanks with liquids. Complete opening of the waste valve can result in a sudden rush of liquid.

•Close T-handle on the waste valve to continue cleaning.

Clean and Store

NOTE: Turn off the power switch and unplug electrical cord before cleaning tank.

•Empty tank of all liquid and thoroughly rinse inside before storing.

•Clean and dry tank and all accessories.

•Store indoors in a cool, dry area.

OPTIONAL EXTRACTOR WAND ACCESSORY KITS

ASSEMBLY

Attach Vacuum Hose Coupling

•Disconnect hose from hose inlet.

•Push the accessory hose coupling into the hose inlet.

•Give a slight twist to secure.

Attach Solution Hose Fitting

•Make sure the quick disconnects snap together ﬁrmly. As you do this, always inspect hoses for cracks, fraying or leaks. Do not use if hoses are damaged.

Begin Cleaning

•Turn on the vacuum switch and the pump switch. With the cleaning nozzle and hose in hand you may begin cleaning. By pulling the solution trigger, you will disperse the solution onto the desired area. Because the vacuum is on, the ﬂuid will quickly be sucked back into the cleaning nozzle. You will notice that the area you have just cleaned will be damp. This is normal.
