2.0 Set-Up / Prepare Unit for Use Continued
• DO NOT turn heater on until the heater is full of water.
• NEVER run the vacuum only with the pump on for more than 3 minutes. Water/
solution needs to run through pump at all times to keep the pump cool while in use.
Failure to do so will void the warranty.
• Be sure to replace any filters back into the machine prior to use.
• Do not use citrus acid, buterol or harsh degreasers inside the machine.
Vacuum Shut-Off
The spot extractor is designed with a vacuum restrictor
to reduce the vacuum when the recovery tank is full.
When the vacuum is restricted, the liquid will not travel
up the nozzle of the hand tool. The motor speeds up
(the sound of the motor will change) and this is your
warning to dispose of recovered solution. The restrictor
is a foam float that slides up and down the vacuum tube in the recovery tank.
Following Each Use
Remove the vacuum hose from the upper body, un-clip, rotate latch on the back of the
unit and remove the upper section of the spotter. Dispose of the used solution by pouring
the solution out of the vacuum inlet (not the hatch cover) into the toilet or janitor’s closet
sink.
IMPORTANT!! Be sure to thoroughly drain water out of heater lines prior to storage in
colder climates. This heater will freeze and possibly crack, voiding your warranty.
3.0 Problem Solving
Never operate this spot extractor when the equipment is not performing as expected
or when any part is visibly damaged. When repair is needed, take the equipment to an
authorized service center.
Spotter will not run
• Check power connection. Move the grounded plug to an outlet that is working. Verify
that the plug is working by plugging in another electrical component such as lamp,
hair dryer or drill.
• Inspect the power cord for damage.
Loss of vacuum
• Make sure the float is at the bottom of the unit. Open the screw cap and push the float
down.
• Check that the hose cuff is securely attached to the front of the extractor.
3.0 Problem Solving Continued
Loss of solution pressure
• Verify that the pump is on. Remove jet from end of hand tool and press trigger on
wand.
• Clean the solution intake in the solution tank. Check quick-disconnect for debris.
• If pump is still not working, seek authorized repair services.
4.0 Grounding Instructions
DANGER: IMPROPER GROUNDING METHOD CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If the machine should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. The Carpet Extractor is equipped with a cord containing a grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the grounded
wire to a flat bed terminal. The grounding wire is the wire with insulation and an outer
green surface, with or without yellow stripes.
Grounding Method
The equipment is for use on a normal 120 Volt circuit. It includes a grounded plug (plug
shown in Figure A). A temporary adapter (Figure B and C) may be used to connect this
plug into a 2-pole receptacle (Figure B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
(Figure A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear lug or
the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever an adapter is used, it must be held in place
by a metal screw.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided with
the equipment. If the plug will not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
