PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE
1
Inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tools for cleanliness and completeness.
2
Screw the Recovery Tank Lid (1) closed. Ensure the Recovery Tank Drain Hose Cap (4) is closed tightly.
3
Pre-spray spots and heavy traffic areas before extracting with the detergent of your choice. Mix the pre-spray according to the detergent
manufacturer's directions.
4
If not using the auto-fill feature: open Solution Tank Fill Opening (9) and fill the solution tank with clear water (12.5 gal. / 47 L capacity). Never
use water above 130º F/54º C in the solution tank. If desired, add a detergent or rinse of your choice. If you choose to add a detergent to
the solution tank, be sure to mix well, and always follow the use & dilution instructions on the detergent label. Only use a detergent with a pH
between 5 and 10.
AUTO-FILL OPERATION
Attach a 3/4" garden hose to the Auto-Fill Hose Connection (19), and connect the other end of the hose to your water source (F) – HIGH
•
PRESSURE IS NOT NECESSARY.
•
Make sure the float (27) that hangs from the auto-fill valve into the tank is free of obstruction and can move freely.
Turn the water supply on and allow the tank to fill with water. NOTE: Never use water above 130º F/54º C in the solution tank.
•
•
The auto-fill float will automatically shut-off the flow of incoming water when the solution tank is nearly full, and it will allow the valve to open
again once the water level has dropped to a predetermined level.
AUTO-DUMP OPERATION
•
Before each use: If necessary, unscrew the stainless steel filter (15) at the bottom of the recovery tank and clean it. Also make sure the float
(14) in the recovery tank is clean and moves freely.
•
Remove the Auto-Dump Outlet Cap (13). Attach a 3/4" garden hose to the dump pump outlet fitting (13A) on the base of the machine.
•
Run the other end of the hose into a drain (G).
Turn ON the Dump Pump Switch (C).
•
•
NOTE: The dump pump is 'self-priming.' You should see water start to flow within 30 seconds of the pump turning on. If water does not
begin to flow, check the filter to see if it is plugged with debris. The float will automatically shut off the dump pump once the water reaches a
predetermined level.
•
After each job: Run clear water through the dump pump to wash out any chemical residue. Remove and clean the filter in the recovery tank.
Reinstall the filter once it is clean. Clean and empty the recovery tank.
