INTRODUCTION
The TSUNAMI “High Flow” hot water extractor is intended for commercial use. It features direct hook-up to your faucet,
thus saves time because the operator doesn’t have to stop and refill a solution tank or empty a recovery tank. The
TSUNAMI has a high flow rate of over 3 gallons per minute and a 94% water recovery rate. This high recovery rate
reduces drying time substantially.
Here’s How it Works:
1. The white arrow indicates the flow of hot water to the machine.
2. The black arrow indicates the return of filtered, dirty water down the drain.
3. It’s all automatic, and so easy.

OPERATIONS
PRESTART-UP CHECKS:
The TSUNAMI 1$ very simple and easy to operate.
Very little maintenance and service are required to keep
your machine in top operating condition.
The following procedures are recommended to maintain
the high level of performance expected from your
machine. They are also intended to identify potential
safety hazards and problems which could reduce the
service life of the machine.
READ BEFORE OPERATING YOUR MACHINE:
1.
Check the power cord, plug and strain relief for
worn or damaged insulation. Repair or replace if
necessary.
Inspect the water pick-up/vacuum head by tilting
the machine backwards and allowing it to balance on
the wheels and handle.
a) Check the edge of the vacuum head for damage.
Burrs on the contact surface may snag carpet
fibers. Gouges, scratches and chipped areas can
reduce vacuum performance.
b) Clean any hair or lint from the vacuum head.
Clogs can cause over-wetting of the carpet or
streaking. They can be removed with a thin
wire.
Check the fresh water filter in the solution hose
(item 16 in the hose parts list) for damage or debris.
Holes in the screen can allow contaminants to enter
the solenoid resulting in costly repairs. A clogged
filter will reduce performance and may cause
permanent damage.
Check for hair and lint build-up between the wheels
and axle. Remove with needle nose pliers.
Remove the clear dome assembly (figurel) which
is located on the recovery tank .
a) Inspect for damage to the dome and gasket.
Dirt or debris on the gasket or sealing surface of
the tank can cause a vacuum leak and reduce
vacuum performance.
b) The air filter screen (item 71) should be clean
of debris and checked periodically for any
damage, replace if necessary.
c) Clean the water filter (figure 2). It is a dual
stainless steel filter with an outer lint filter
(item 68) and an inner primary filter (item
69). Swing them out of the recovery tank. By
sliding the lint filter up the recovery tank
discharge hose, both the top and bottom of the
primary filter can be cleaned. Also check for
any damage, replace if necessary.
Return the dome assembly to its original position.
TRANSPORTING:
1.
Walking- The machine is designed to be tilted back
on the wheels and pushed or pulled.
2. Carrying Machine- The best way to carry your
machine is with one hand on the handle and the
other hand on the front lips.
3. Walking Up Steps- External wheel on the back of
the machine allow you to walk up and down steps.
OPERATING THE TSUNAMI:
1. SINK FITTINGS: Each machine comes with an
adaptor tray containing 5 different Sink Fittings
(see figure 3). To install:
a) Use your hand or a pair of pliers and remove
the aerator from the faucet (avoid using plastic
faucets or spickets).
b) Install the corresponding Sink Fitting on faucet.
i. The Standard Fitting (figure 4) 1s used
80-90% of the time. It has both inner and
outer threads.
ii. The 13/16 Male Fitting (figure 3) is the
next most used fitting.
iii. The Standard Extended Fitting (figure 3)
is used for recessed faucets.
iv. The 3/4 and 3/16 Female Fittings (figure
3) are rarely used. They would be used as
reducers on the Standard Fitting.
Note: Sink Fittings are not necessary on garden
hose type spickets.

OPERATING CONTINUED:
UNROLLING HOSES: There are two different
ways to unroll the hoses.
a) Rolling Out (figure 5): This is when you use
your arms like a hose reel.
b) Feed & Uncoil (figure 6): This is when you
place one arm through the middle opening of
the hoses and feed hose out as you walk toward
the sink. To prevent kinking of hoses during
operation, uncoil any loops before hooking
hoses to the faucet.
Hint: New hoses take a few weeks to break in. If
you roll and unroll them the same way each time
they break in faster and are easier to use.
HOOKING MACHINE UP TO SINK: After the
hoses are unrolled it’s time to hook them up to the
faucet. Follow these steps:
a) Insert the drain hose in the sink, toilet or other
disposal and make sure you OPEN THE
DRAIN VALVE located near the end of the
drain hose. The adapter tray can be used to
secure drain hose in sink. Figure 7 shows the
drain valve in the open position.
b) Attach the garden hose end to the Sink Fitting
and turn on the hot water.
IMPORTANT: The two most common mistakes
made when hooking up are forgetting to open the
drain valve and forgetting to turn on the water.
PRESPRAYING CARPET: For your convenience
each machine comes with a 25 feet of coiled
prespray hose. To use the prespray hose follow
these steps:
a) Fill the quart chemical bottle (bottle with hose
running into the machine) with liquid
extraction detergent.
b) Attach the prespray hose to the prespray
extension ( item 39-quick connect).
с) Prespray the carpet and allow it to penetrate
for a brief period.
HINT: To keep the prespray hose out of the way
when extracting, hang it on the holster hook with 4-5
coils and hang the trigger behind the handle. When
the prespray hose is hung like this, it places the
spray wand behind the handle and out of the way.
Occasionally the prespray hose will become tangled.
To untangle, detach from the prespray extension and
hold it in the air to determine where to untangle.
SOLUTION CHEMICAL INJECTOR
(OPTIONAL): If desired, chemical can be
automatically injected into the solution water. To
use:
a) Connect the injector assembly between the
solution hose and the machine.
b) Fill the extra quart bottle with quality
concentrated liquid extraction detergent.
EXTRACTING:
a) Prespray carpet (see section 4) or use optional
solution injector (see section 5).
b) IMPORTANT: To ensure a long life for the
vacuum motor always apply defoamer to the
carpet before extracting. Apply the defoamer
with a hand trigger sprayer or defoamer crystals.
c) Turn the vacuum rocker switch ON and place
both hands on the handle.
d) Depress the solution spray switch and pull the
machine backwards. Apply a small amount of
upward force on the handle while extracting.
e) Release the solution spray switch just before
completing each pass.
f) Tilt the machine back on its rear wheels and
walk forward to position the machine along
side the previous pass (slightly overlapping).
EXTRACTION TECHNIQUES: There are several
techniques that will aid you while extracting.
a) Always try to work away from the hoses.
b) Use the Hose Retainer “O” Ring to move the
hoses from one side of the handle to the other.
c) Keep both hands on the handle, using your
feet to keep the hoses out of the way.
d) While exerting upward force on the handle,
do not exceed the point where the bottom of the
wheels lose contact with the carpet. This
upward lift ensures that both lips remain firmly
on the carpet while extracting. Thus, the
machine will generate a high rate of water
recovery, which means faster drying times.

OPERATING CONTINUED:
8. PERIODIC CHECKS WHILE EXTRACTING:
Depending upon the condition of your carpet, these
things must be watched for when extracting.
a)
b)
с)
d)
Add defoamer if the machine is spitting out
foam from the bottom of the machine. The
soap-suds are caused by too much detergent
residue in the carpet. This may be harmful to
the vacuum motor.
Remove the clear dome assembly and clean the
air filter screen and water filter if necessary
(reference section “Prestart-Up Checks” #5).
Clean the float switch if it becomes
obstructed (figure 8). The float switch tells the
pump when it’s time to discharge dirty water. It
moves up and down with the water level in the
recovery tank. Sometimes gritty dirt and hair
obstruct the floats ability to freely swing up and
down. To clean the float, take your prespray
wand and spray the float, especially in the
hinged area. When clean, the float should freely
move up and down. If this doesn’t work,
remove the brass nut to lift clear inside the float
switch and spray again.
The water pick-up/vacuum head may become
clogged because of hair and lint from the carpet.
When clogged, over-wetting of the carpet or
streaking may result. Clogs can be removed
with a thin wire (i.e. coat hanger).
ATTACHING EXTRA HOSES:
Your machine comes with 50 feet of power cord and
50feet of pressure and drain hoses. You can attach
up to 250 feet of hoses to the machine. Extra supply
and drain hoses come in 50 foot lengths.
When
attaching extra hoses make sure you open all the
drain valves.
10. AFTER EXTRACTING:
a)
b)
с)
d)
e)
8)
h)
1)
Turn the vacuum switch OFF.
Drain the recovery tank by tilting the machine
to the right (figure 9). This will manually
activate the discharge pump. Do not try to drain
the hose of water by running the pump dry, this
may cause damage to the pump.
Clean the dome, air filter screen, water filters
and gasket. Do not reinstall the dome until the
next use, this will allow the recovery tank to dry
out.
Unhook the prespray hose from the prespray
extension and hang it on the hose retainer hook.
Turn the hot water off at the sink.
Close the Ball valve on the solution line at the
sink end and remove the solution hose end
from the sink fitting. Then reopen the ball
valve while the solution hose is still in the sink.
This releases the water pressure in the solution
hose. Reclose the ball valve before removing
the hose from the sink.
Remove the sink fitting from the faucet and
replace the aerator.
Roll up the hoses (figure 10). Start at the
machine, roll the hoses clockwise onto the top
of the solution tank. The “O” Ring should be
on the right side of the handle.
To clean the exterior regular window cleaner
works well. Keep solvents away from the
exterior of the machine.
