OPERATION
HEATER OPERATION
The disconnect fittings on the heater will become extremely
hot during operation. Allow sufficient time to cool, or run solution through the machine with the heater turned off before disconnecting the or performing any maintenance on the heater.
Before disconnecting the heater, open wand valve to relieve the system of all pressure by depressing the valve trigger.
DO NOT spray water directly on to the heater. To clean, unplug the unit and wipe with a damp cloth.
Make certain that the solution tank is filled adequately before
plugging in the machine and heater.
1.Plug the machine and heater into separate grounded circuits. The heater draws 15 amps of current.
2.Turn the solution pump ON. Turn the heater switch ON. The solution pump must be turned on BEFORE the heater is turned on.
The heater requires about
EMPTYING AND CLEANING
Always use defoamer if foaming occurs. Foam will
suspend 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 while vacuuming is done on the pull stroke. For heavily soiled carpets the hand tool may be used in the scrubbing manner, applying chemical in both the push and pull stroke. ALWAYS FINISH UP
AN AREA WITH A VACUUM 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 recovery tank will impede the vacuum flow when the tank is full. When this occurs, empty the recovery tank. Do this by opening the dump valve located at the back of the machine. NOTE: Dispose of waste in a proper manner which would not violate any Local, State or Federal law.
5.Once the recovery tank has been emptied, you may once again proceed with cleaning.
Operating Vacuum after shutoff has activated could draw water directly into the vac motor. This will cause damage to the motor, therefore voiding your warranty.
Always test carpet for color fastness in an inconspicuous
place. Also, to avoid prolonged drying times, do not spray too much solution in any one area.
SHUT DOWN AND STORAGE
1.Turn Switch OFF. Empty recovery tank completely and rinse several times to remove any dirt or debris that may be left behind.
2.Drain any unused cleaning solution from solution tank and rinse with clean water to remove any suds left behind by the cleaning chemicals. NOTE: Dispose of waste in a proper manner which would not violate any Local, State or Federal law
3.Run a small amount of clean water through pump if chemicals were used. This will help insure the life of your pump.
4.Check the spray jet on the cleaning tool for full spray pattern and inspect vac head for any obstructions.
5.Remove as much moisture from system before storing in cold climates. Excess water may freeze during storage and crack internal components, causing damage to the unit.
Before making any adjustments or performing any
maintenance to your machine, disconnect the power cord from the electrical source.
