Sanitaire SC6080 - Manual (Page 4)

ASSEMBLY
• You will find the drain outlet diverter, a black plastic 45-
degree elbow, inside the machine. Place this elbow on
the drain valve on the front of the unit. The elbow will
direct the flow of recovered water downward.
HOW TO USE
Fill Solution Tank
CAUTION: Use only commercially available carpet and
upholstery cleaners intended for machine
applications.
Remove solution tank lid and fill with mixture of water and
extraction detergent. (Follow recommended mix ratio on
extraction detergent label.)
NOTE: Do not overfill.
Attach Vacuum Hose Coupling
• Push the hose coupling into the hose inlet.
• Give a slight twist to secure.
Attach Solution Hose Fitting
• Make sure the quick disconnects snap together firmly.
As you do this, always inspect hoses for cracks, fraying
or leaks. Do not use if hoses are damaged.
Connect Power Cord
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
lay cord on any wet surfaces.
• Attach power cord to extension cord provided.
• Plug extension cord into outlet.
Power Switches
The power switches are located on the top of the unit.
• Wear ear protection (not provided) if operating the
cleaner for a prolonged period of time.
• Push vacuum switch to turn on.
• Push pump switch to turn on.
Prime Pump
• Take the cleaning nozzle and hold it over a bucket or
drain. Pull the solution trigger so that the valve is now
open and fluid can start flowing through the machine
and hoses. You will notice air coming out first. This is
normal. Keep the line open until there is no more air,
and solution is flowing steadily.

Begin Cleaning
• Turn on the vacuum switch and the pump switch. With
the cleaning nozzle and hose in hand you may begin
cleaning. By pulling the solution trigger, you will dispense
the solution onto the desired area. Because the vacuum is
on, the fluid will quickly be sucked back into the cleaning
nozzle. You will notice that the area you have just cleaned
will be damp. This is normal.
Tips:
If used to clean up spills or messes, clean up as much of the
spill or mess using paper towels before final cleaning with
the cleaner. If used on fine fabrics or upholstery, test for color
fastness in an inconspicuous place before cleaning.
Automatic Shut-Off
NOTE: Always use the wet vacuum cleaner in the
upright position. If cleaner tips over, the suction
automatically shuts off.
If the cleaner tips over:
• Turn off both switches and set the cleaner upright.
• Wait a few seconds for the motor to come to a complete
stop.
• Restart the motor.
When the tank is full:
• As the tank fills with liquid, the ball float (inside the cage)
rises until it seats itself against the motor inlet.
• The motor sound becomes a high pitch sound.
• The shut-off stops the suction.
• Turn off the power switch.
• Empty the tank (instructions follow).
Empty Tank
CAUTION: Turn off the power switch and unplug
electrical cord to service.
• Lift the hose and drain any liquid back into the tank.
• Empty contents into a suitable drain by pulling on the "T"
handle above the drain port. (See page 3.)
• Use special care when emptying full tanks with liquids.
Pulling the "T" handle completely open can result in a
sudden rush of liquid.
• Close "T" handle valve to continue cleaning.
Clean and Store
NOTE: Turn off both switches and unplug electrical cord
before cleaning tank.
• Empty tank of all liquid and thoroughly rinse inside before
storing.
• Clean and dry tank and all accessories.
• Store indoors in a cool, dry area.
