Set-up and Operation
1. Upon removing your new mini-extractor from the
box, loosen the latch at back end of the machine
that secures the recovery tank to the solution tank.
Remove the recovery tank from the solution tank.
2. Pour clean, hot water to the indicated fill line of the
solution tank. To avoid possible tank distortion,
water temperature must not exceed 140 F (60C).
3. Add a non-foaming cleaning solution concentrate,
for use in hot water extractors at the proportions
noted on the container (See list below), into
solution tank.
4. Place the recovery tank back onto the solution tank
and refasten the latch.
5. Plug the power cord into grounded outlet (See
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS).
6. Connect the vacuum and cleaning tool hoses to
the extractor. This unit is equipped with an 1/8"
male quick connect for solution hose attachment
and a 1" ID vacuum hose hookup. Insure that the
female solution hose coupler is securely locked
onto the male coupler on the extractor.
7. Turn switch ON. This switch operates both the
vacuum motor and the water pump. NOTE: The
pump is an oscillating pump and should not be run
dry for extended periods of time. This may cause
damage to your pump, therefore voiding your
warranty.
8. Squeeze the solution lever on the cleaning tool to
spray cleaning solution and place the vacuum
head on the surface to be cleaned. Normally,
chemical is applied on the push stroke while
vacuuming is done on the pull stroke. For heavily
soiled carpets the hand tool may be used in the
scrubbing manner, applying chemical in both the
push and pull stroke. Always finish up an area with
a vacuum pull stroke.
9. When cleaning, be sure to monitor the level of
recovered solution in the recovery tank. When the
solution reaches the FULL mark, shut off the
extractor, loosen the latches and empty the
recovery tank.
NOTE: Dispose of waste in a proper manner which
would not violate any Local, State or Federal law.
