SET UP AND OPERATION
1. Upon removing your new mini-extractor from the
box, loosen the latch at back end of the machine
that secures the recovery tank to the solution
tank. Remove the recovery tank from the
solution tank.
3-1
2. Pour clean, hot water to the indicated fill line of
the solution tank. To avoid possible tank
distortion, water temperature must not
exceed 140 F (60C).
3. Add a non-foaming cleaning solution
concentrate, for use in hot water extractors at
the proportions noted on the container (See list
below), into solution tank.
4. Place the recovery tank back onto the solution
tank and refasten the latch.
5. Plug the power cord into grounded outlet (See
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS).
6. Connect the vacuum and cleaning tool hoses to
the extractor. This unit is equipped with an 1/8”
male quick connect for solution hose attachment
and a 1” ID vacuum hose hookup. Insure that
the female solution hose coupler is securely
locked onto the male coupler on the extractor.
7. Turn switch ON. This switch operates both the
vacuum motor and the water pump. NOTE: The
pump is an oscillating pump and should not be
run dry for extended periods of time. This may
cause damage to your pump, therefore voiding
your warranty.
8. Squeeze the solution lever on the cleaning tool
to spray cleaning solution and place the vacuum
head on the surface to be cleaned. 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.

9. When cleaning, be sure to monitor the level of
recovered solution in the recovery tank. When
the solution reaches the FULL mark, shut off the
extractor, loosen the latches and empty the
recovery tank.
NOTE: Dispose of waste in a proper manner
which would not violate any Local, State or
Federal law.
Operating vacuum with solution above the FULL
mark could draw water directly into the vac motor.
This will cause damage to the motor, therefore
voiding your warranty.

LWAYS TEST UPHOLSTERY / CARPET FOR COLOR
FASTNESS IN AN INCONSPICUOUS PLACE . Also, to avoid
prolonged drying times, do not spray too much
solution in any one area.
Always use defoamer if foaming occurs. Foam
will suspend large particles which may damage
vacuum as well as allow liquid into the vacuum
motor without activating the float shutoff.

To prevent possible disease hazard, before
attempting to clean bodily fluids spills, you must kill
any viruses, germs or bacteria present in the bodily
fluid.

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. Tip the solution tank over a sink to drain any
unused cleaning solution 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. Also make sure to clean the filter
cap attached to portal cover of any debris that
may have been trapped during cleaning.
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.
