MACHINE SETUP
1. Carefully check carton for signs of damage. Report
damages at once to carrier. The machine is shipped
fully assembled and is ready for use.
2. Unscrew and remove solution tank lid. Using a hose
or bucket, fill tank with 57 l (15 gal) of hot water,
60°C (140°F) maximum (Figure 1).
ATTENTION: Use different buckets to fill and drain
machine to prevent solution system clogs.

proper dilution ratio.
FOR SAFETY: When using machine, follow mixing
and handling instructions on chemical containers.
ATTENTION: If using powdered cleaning
chemicals, mix chemical with water prior to
adding to the tank.
NOTE: If desired, water alone achieves excellent
cleaning results.

FOR SAFETY: Do not operate machine with the
use of additional extension cords. Only use
manufacturer's extension cord equipped with
machine which has proper capacity and is
grounded.
6. Prime solution pump:
a. Connect bleeder hose onto solution hose
quick coupler located at front of extractor.
b. Submerge other end of bleeder hose back into
solution tank (Figure 3).
c. Open rear pressure control valve completely
(turn knob counterclockwise) then turn pump
switch on. As pump runs, air bubbles should
dissipate in solution (Figure 3).
d. Close pressure control valve completely by
turning knob clockwise and allow pump to
continue running.
e. Now attach accessory tool. If properly primed,
pressure should read 15.65-17.22 bar
(200-220 psi).
NOTE: Whenever extractor runs out of solution while
operating, you must always prime pump before
operating.
