OPERATION
To operate the machine, follow the instructions below.
Fill:
Unplug the machine from the wall outlet. Ensure that the water
pick-up line and weight are in place. Fill the machine with hot clean water using a clean
bucket or hose direct from the faucet. Then, pour into the solution tank an appropriate
quantity of a good quality extraction cleaning agent.
Note: This agent should be low foaming to avoid vacuum motor damage.
Plug In:
Plug the machine into the wall outlet.
Vacuum:
Locate the vacuum motor switches marked VACUUM 1 and
VACUUM 2 .
Solution:
Locate the solution pump switch marked PUMP .
Install the accessory solution hose at the female quick disconnect exiting the rear panel.
Install the accessory vacuum hose at the rear of the recovery tank. Attach to the other
end your choice of accessory tool. Turn the vacuum motors on and turn on the solution
pump. Water will flow when the valve on your accessory tool is depressed.
IMPORTANT:
Watch the recovery dome for signs of excess foaming. If excess
foam develops, turn the machine off immediately and empty the recovery tank. Use a
defoamer to cut down on foam generation in the recovery tank.
MAINTENANCE
After Every Use
1)
Empty solution tank using the drain valve under the machine.
