PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE
1 Inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tools for cleanliness and completeness.
2 Screw the Recovery Tank Lid (11) closed. Ensure the drain cap is closed tightly.
3 Pre-spray spots and heavy traffi c areas before extracting with the detergent of your choice. Mix the pre-spray according to the detergent
manufacturer’s directions.
4 Fill the solution tank with clear water (12 gal. / 45.5 L capacity). If desired, add a detergent or rinse of your choice (we recommend a
CRI approved detergent). If you choose to add a detergent to the solution tank, be sure to mix well, and always follow the use & dilution
instructions on the detergent label. Only use a detergent with a pH between 5 and 10. Although this machine is designed to supply instant
hot water, the addition of warm water to the solution tank would increase heater effi ciency. Never use water above 130º F/54º C in the
solution tank.
CAUTION!
Use low-sudsing, liquid detergents designed for carpet extraction.
