water to a clear, solid stream. Priming may take 20 - 60 seconds, or even longer sometimes, and it will
require a full solution tank. When the pump is primed, let off the Power Prime Pedal, and turn off the
pump and the vacuum. Then press the Power Prime Pedal once again, for a moment, to release the line
pressure; you will hear a ‘swoosh’ of air as the back pressure in the lines is released. The pump will need
to be primed anytime air gets into it -- try not to let the pump run dry. Proceed to the next step.
7. Add defoamer to the recovery tank.
8. Attach the solution spray hose to the solution quick disconnect. Attach the vacuum hose to the hose
barb on the front of the recovery tank. Pull the hoses out from the reel. Attach the other ends of the
hoses to the cleaning tool.
9. If you choose to use the automatic pump-out feature, MAKE SURE THE CAP IS REMOVED FROM THE
HOSE CONNECTION ON THE BACK OF THE MACHINE BEFORE YOU TURN THE SWITCH ON. This
pump will run continuously once you turn it on, and if it tries to pump out water, but the cap is still on the
hose fitting, the pump may be damaged.
10. Turn on the vacuum (3) and turn on the dump pump (if you chose to use this feature) (5). Begin
spraying. If you are not using the auto-fill or auto-dump features, turn off the pump and vacuum when
the solution tank gets low; fill the solution tank, and empty and clean the recovery tank. If you use the
auto-fill and/or auto-dump features, you will not need to stop working to fill and/or empty your tanks.
11. When the job is finished, turn off the automatic pump-out pump turn and turn off the water source, if
they were employed. Use the vacuum hose to suck the remaining solution from the holding tank into the
recovery tank.
13. Run a few gallons of clean water through the system. Completely empty the recovery tank by placing the
drain hose over a floor drain, toilet, or tub, and removing the cap. You can clean the tank at this time with
clean water. When the tank is empty, cap the drain hose and place it back in the hook and loop holder.
Disconnect the hoses from the cleaning tool, and reel them up onto the hose spool.
14. Unplug the power cord. Clean the machine and the tool.
LOW PRESSURE AND HEAT
1 Before each use, inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tools for cleanliness and completeness. Make
sure hoses are in good condition and the spray nozzle(s) is tight.

2. If you choose to use the automatic pump-out feature, connect the dump hose to brass hose fitting on
the back of the machine, and place the open end of the hose in a drain. NOTE: NEVER TURN ON THE
PUMP OUT PUMP UNTIL YOU HAVE REMOVED THE CAP FROM THE HOSE CONNECTOR ON THE REAR
OF THE MACHINE. Make sure the drain hose on the back of the vacuum tank is closed and the lid is tight
on the recovery tank. If you are not going to use the auto pump-out option, just make sure the brass
cap is on the hose connector on the rear of the machine.
