KNOW YOUR MACHINE DESCRIPTIONS
Operator Handle (1): Operator holds onto this handle to move the machine from one location to
another.
Solution Tank Lid (2): This lid screws off so the tank can be filled. The solution fill hose is
tethered to the lid, and hangs inside the arm of the Operator Handle.
Recovery Tank Lid (3): This lid covers the opening in the Recovery Tank. This is where the operator
can access the tank to clean it and the ball float cage. The tank can be flushed out by running clean
warm water into this opening and laying the open drain hose into a bucket or drain.
Recovery Hose (4): Waste water is picked-up through this hose.
Spray Hose (5): This hose delivers water from the machine to the cleaning tool.
Drain Hose (6): This hose is used to empty the recovery tank. NOTE: hold the end of the hose above
the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled flow of waste water when you remove the
cap, then lower the hose slowly to control the rate of discharge.
Quick Disconnect (7): Point of attachment for the Spray Hose (5).
Tools & Accessories (8): Various accessories can be stored on the machine.
Castors and Wheels (9): Castors pivot for ease of steering, and large back wheels make it easy to
roll the machine from location to location.
Recovery Hose Inlet (10): Point of attachment for the Recovery Hose (4).
Chemical Feed Lines (11): These clear tubes connect the cleaning chemical containers to the
machine where the chemical can be siphoned into the outlet water from the pump. Metering tips -used to change the ratio of water to chemical -- are installed here.
Switch Plate (12): The machine’s on/off switches for the vacuum and for the pump are located here
and this is where the valve to change chemical feeds is located.
Power Cord (13): The 25 ft. power cord connects to a power cord pigtail on the rear of the machine.
Chemical Container Holders (14): Two molded-in bottle holders for chemical jugs.

OPERATION
1)
Insert the appropriate metering tips into the chemical feed lines (see illustration, page 5).
2)
Fill the holding tank with warm water (not exceeding 120 °F). Do not add any chemical to
the tank.
3)
Prepare the area for cleaning by emptying waste receptacles, clearing debris, removing
paper products, blowing out vents, and sweeping floors.
4)
Connect the 25 ft power cord to the pig-tail on the rear of the machine. Test the GFCI on
the power cord before each use. Plug the GFCI protected power cord into an outlet.
5)
PRIME THE PUMP: Attach the priming hose to the outlet quick disconnect and place the
open end of the hose into the recovery tank. Turn on the pump and let it run until the
pump is completely primed (no visible air in the water stream). Turn the pump off.
NOTE: prime the machine before you place the chemical feed tubes into chemical
containers.
Disconnect the priming hose and attach the solution hose to the quick disconnect.
Attach the spray gun to the other end of the solution line.
Place chemicals in the molded-in chemical bottle containers on the rear of the machine.
Insert one of the feed lines into one of the chemical containers. Secure the line by
screwing on the cap. The chemical will feed from which ever container the selector valve
on the switch plate is turned towards and when the gun is used in the low pressure
setting. Use chemicals with a pH of between 4 and 12. Never add chemicals to the clean
water tank.
Set the spray gun to low pressure by sliding the pressure selector forward (low pressure
= forward; high pressure = back).
Turn on the pump switch (push button) and spray through the gun for a few seconds to fill
the line with solution.
Apply the chemical to the walls and fixtures from the bottom up. Spray the floor last as
you work your way out of the room.
Allow the chemical to work for the proper amount of dwell time, according to the chemical
manufacturer’s directions. Agitate heavily soiled areas with a scrub brush.
Turn off the chemical injector valve by turning the selector to the down position.
Set the spray gun to high pressure and rinse the area from the top down.
Connect the vacuum hose, attach the squeegee, and turn on the vacuum (rocker switch).
Squeegee off the mirrors, pick up the liquid off the floor with the floor tool. If you have the
optional blow dry hose, use it to dry the fixtures.
Drain the recovered water into a utility sink or toilet. NOTE: Keep the top of the drain
hose higher than the water level in the tank to avoid uncontrolled discharge of water
when you open the cap on the hose.

CAUTION
To avoid vacuum motor damage, always use a defoamer any time foam is present.
Before you turn on the vacuum always make sure the filter screen on the ball float is clean and
that the ball can travel freely.
RE-PRIMING THE PUMP
If the pump looses prime between jobs, follow the instructions to PRIME THE PUMP, above. If
that doesn’t get water flowing, put the priming hose into the vacuum inlet hose barb and cover
the rest of the space around the priming hose with your hand. Turn on the vacuum (with the
pump also running) and let the suction of the vacuum assist in getting water into the pump.

MAINTENANCE
1)
Use only approved chemicals at the recommended mix ratios. All chemicals
should be added through the feed system and NOT added directly to the water in
the solution tank to prevent possible damage to the pump, seals, or other
components.
2)
For optimum performance, flush the Chemical Feed lines after every job by
replacing the chemical containers with containers of clear water and spraying
through the gun until the fluid stream is clear. See the Maintenance Schedule,
below.
3)
The pump seals and/or valves in the high pressure pumps may need to be
replaced after about 1000 hours of use, if the pump begins to loose
performance or to leak. The pressure regulator valve may need to be when a drop
in the spraying pressure at the tool is apparent.
4)
If the 4”, clear lid is removed from the top of the base (solution tank), you will need to
apply a silicone sealant to the threads when you reinstall the lid to seal for vacuum
leaks.
