This extractor is for use on a nominal 120
volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that
looks like the plug illustrated-rated in (Fig
A). A temporary adaptor that looks like
the adaptor illustrated in (Fig B & C) may
be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in (Fig B) if a proper-
ly grounded outlet is not available.
WARNING:
The temporary adaptor should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig
A) can be installed by a qualified electri-
cian. The green color rigid ear, lug, or the
like, extending from the adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw (Fig C).
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT modify the plug provided with the extractor. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted
by the Canadian Electric Code.

FREEZING
TEMPERATURE
PRE-CAUTIONS
If it becomes necessary to store or trans-
port the unit where temperatures could
drop below 40° F, the pump, solution hose
and valve on the tools must be protected
from freezing with a solution of automotive
radiator antifreeze.
1) Mix 7/2 gallon of water and 7/2 gallon
of antifreeze and follow the priming
instructions in the Set-Up and Operation
Sections раде 5.
2) Vacuum excess mixture out of solution
tank into the recovery tank and dispose of
the anti-freeze mixture.
The antifreeze MUST be flushed out of the
pump and vacuum system thoroughly with
clean water before use, otherwise, the
carpet may be damaged. Dispose of
antifreeze properly.
3) To prevent damage, allow extractor to
reach room temperature before using.
Attach (Cleaning Tool:
1) Connect vacuum hose to the vacuum
intake and the extraction wand.
2) Connect the solution hose to the unit
and the wand. Pull the sleeve on the cou-
pler and insert the male quick disconnect
plug on the hose. The sleeve should
'CLICK' and retract back indicating a posi-
tive seal.
Filling Solution Tank:
1) Fill solution tank with hot tap water (not
to exceed 140° F).

spraying solution and recovering the dirty
solution immediately.
4] Before completing each path, shut OFF
the solution supply and vacuum up the last
of the solution sprayed on. This will also
reduce the drying time of the carpet.
