cord. The second power cord must be plugged in to a
separate electric power source.
OTHER CONTROLS
Pressure regulator (Fig. 2, G). 500 and 1200EX models
only. Turn clockwise to increase solution pressure; turn
counterclockwise to decrease solution pressure.
Auto pumpout switch (Fig. 2, E) 1200EX only. Switch
to on position to activate auto pumpout mode.
SS-P 150, SS-P 150H, SS-P 500 and
SS-P 500H OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Pre-mix cleaning solution with hot water in a
separate container. Pour mixed solution into the
solution tank of the machine.
IMPORTANT: Take care to control foaming in the
vacuum system. Excessive foam can allow moisture,
carpet fiber and other debris to be drawn through the
vacuum cutoff valve and cause damage to the vacuum
motors. Damage caused by moisture or debris will void
the product warranty. To help reduce foaming, use a
low-foam detergent like Sapphire Scientific VersaClean
(76-300). Foaming may also occur because of residues
left from previous cleanings. If this happens, use a
defoamer additive. Follow defoamer manufacturer
instructions for proper application.
2. Connect vacuum and solution hoses to machine and
attach to extraction wand or hand tool.
3. Insert both plugs into separate 3-pin grounded
circuits. Keep cords clear of your cleaning path.

4. Switch vacuum control to VAC 1 or VAC 1&2
position.
5. Turn on solution pump.
6. If desired, turn on heater (H units only).
7. Begin cleaning. Refer to industry-approved
procedures.
8. Solution pressure may be adjusted with the pressure
regulator knob (Fig. 2, G). Monitor the pressure
gauge (if equipped) to ensure pressure is adequate.
CAUTION: When the recovery tank reaches capacity,
an automatic float valve blocks vacuum intake (see
Fig. 7) and the vacuum motors will make a high
pitched noise. When this occurs, the machine
should be turned off immediately to prevent damage
to the vacuum motors.
9. When the job is complete, vacuum out any
remaining liquid from the solution tank. Rinse with
clear water to ensure no detergents or rinse agents
remain in the tank.
10. Empty and rinse the waste tank thoroughly. This will
help to prevent the formation of damaging deposits
and reduce the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
11. Turn on both vacuum motors and allow them to run
for 3–5 minutes to help remove any moisture from
the vacuum motors and assure long vacuum life.
For maintenance instructions, see "Maintenance," p. 5.
TIP: To empty the solution tank, remove the vacuum
hose from wand and extract the solution from solution
tank.
