Using as a Self Contained Extractor
1. Turn the vac motor, drive motor, and brush motor switches to the “I” position.
2. Adjust the traction speed using the traction speed knob located on the top of the control panel.
When starting out, the recommended speed is between 4 – 5.
3. To activate the drive of the machine, you must push down on the drive lever, which is located
on the control panel, near the handle of the machine. By pushing down the drive lever the
machine goes forward. By releasing, the machine stops.
4. If you need to pull the machine backwards, you have to switch off the traction motor switch.
5. Set the pump switch to the “I” position. In the “I” position, the pump will only work when the
solution control lever is engaged.
6. On the lower left side of the machine, you can adjust the water flow by turning the knob with
the + and – symbols on it. Turning the knob clockwise reduces the water flow. Turning the
knob counter clockwise increases the water flow. When priming the pump, this knob should be
turned counter clockwise for maximum water flow. (See next page for illustration)
7. Regulate the brush height with the brush running. To adjust the brush height, pull the steel
adjustment knob on the bottom left side of the machine and turn it counter clockwise. Once
you hear the brush hitting the carpet, lock it in place.
ATTENTION: The brush motor is protected by a circuit breaker located on the top control panel. If the
circuit breaker trips, reduce the brush pressure on the carpet.
The traction motor is protected by a circuit breaker as well. If the circuit breaker trips, reduce the
speed on the control panel. If the problem persists, contact a repair facility for repair.
8. Lower the vacuum shoe by pushing on the foot lever, which is situated on the lower right side
of the machine.
