Shipping and Damage
This equipment is thoroughly inspected, tested, and packaged to provide equipment in good operating condition. It is beyond
our control after the equipment is turned over to a freight carrier. The freight carrier received and signed for the equipment in
good condition. Consequently, it is most important to protect your interest by carefully complying with the following instructions:
Please inspect your cartons for any damage (including concealed damage) that might have occurred during shipment. Any dam-
age is the responsibility of the freight carrier and should be reported to the freight carrier immediately. It is your responsibility
to issue a claim and to receive compensation from the freight carrier for any damage done in transit. Damage of this sort is not
warranted.
Follow these easy step by step instructions to ensure proper operating performance.
1. Fill up the fresh water solution tank with tap water that is
120-135 degrees and approved carpet cleaning chemical
if you are not pre-spraying your chemical on the carpet.
2. Attach two 12 gauge extension cords (NOT INCLUDED)
(one cord for non-heated models) to each of the pigtail
cords located on the lower backside of the unit. The red
pigtail powers the heater while the black pigtail powers
the vacuum motors and pump.
3. Plug each extension cord into a separate and grounded
20 amp wall socket circuits, when this is accomplished
the green indicator light will be lit (on heated models).
4. Attach the hose system to the unit and to your carpet
wand.
5. Turn on the heater and the pump to the "on" position,
(only pump on non-heated models) when the heater is on
the orange indicator light on the switch panel will be lit.
6. With the solution line attached to the wand and the
machine, prime the pump by squeezing the trigger on the
wand releasing the water (hold wand tip over solution
tank to put water back into solution tank). This will
pump water into the heater and get any air out of the
solution line. Let the heater heat up this will take
3 to 5 minutes. *Prime pump on 400 p.s.i. models
with prime hose (included).

7. Turn vacuum switches to the "on" position one at at time
to begin cleaning.
8. Anyone designated to operate this equipment must,
without fail, read and thoroughly understand all
instructions and precautions prior to use.
9. Never use equipment out of doors or in the rain.
10. Never use flammable or explosive materials in
or around this equipment!!!
11. When recovery tank is full, empty by using drain hose at
rear of machine. If a pail is used to empty the recovery
tank, do not use the same pail to fill the solution
tank as this can result in putting dirt and grit into the
solution line that can plug filters, orifices, and generally
degrade the solution line system (do not reuse solution).
12. To empty solution tank, detach the wand from the end of
the vacuum hose and insert the vacuum hose into the
solution tank. Turn the vacuum switches to "on" position
and transfer solution to vacuum tank and dispose of as
outlined in #11. Clean vacuum stack filter at this time.
