PRIMING THE CHEMICAL PUMP
1. Connect water hose to water inlet connection
and turn on water supply.
2. Connect cleaning and vacuum hoses to the
desired cleaning tool and console.
3. Insert chemical inlet and prime tubing into
chemical container.
4. Turn ignition key to start.
5. Set throttle to low speed.
6. Fill chemical container and inspect chemical
filter.
7. Turn chemical prime valve to prime and allow
chemical to circulate. After all air bubbles have
been removed from chemical tubing, turn the
valve to the horizontal (off) position and open
the chemical metering valve, and the simulation
valve. Set the desired chemical flow rate while
observing the flow meter indicator. Simulator
valve must be in the open position to set
chemical flow. When desired flow is reached
turn simulator valve off.
8. Set throttle to maximum position with vacuum
ports blocked off for quick unit heat up.
WASTE PUMP (OPTIONAL)
1. If your unit is equipped with an automatic waste
pump, connect one end of a garden hose to the
pump-out connection on the console and the
other end to an appropriate waste disposal.
2. Turn the pump-out switch on the control panel to
the ON position. Turn the toggle switch on the
pump unit to “ON”. The waste pump will operate
automatically throughout the cleaning operation.
We recommend that you use a 3/4" I.D. water
hose as a waste pump outlet hose. DO NOT use
a hose smaller than 5/8" I.D.
NEVER use your automatic waste pump outlet
hose as a water inlet hose.
NEVER dispose of waste in storm drains, water
ways, or on ground areas. Always dispose of
waste in accordance with Local, State, and
Federal laws.
Your unit should be in the correct throttle position for
your cleaning operation or extracting. A float switch
located inside the waste tank will automatically shut
down the unit when it reaches its full capacity.
When this occurs, empty the waste tank before
continuing.
CLEANING
Observe the following guidelines, while cleaning:
1. Before proceeding make sure the nozzles are
functioning properly.
a. To check , hold the wand about one foot above
the surface to be cleaned and open the wand
valve. A full spray should be observed from the
cleaning nozzles.
b. If the nozzles are not showing a full spray
pattern, adjust nozzles for proper pattern, clean,
or replace nozzles, if required.
2. Normally chemical is applied on the push stroke
of the wand when cleaning and vacuuming is
done on the pull stroke. For heavily soiled
carpets the wand may be used in a scrubbing
manner, apply chemical in both push and pull
strokes. Always finish up an area with a vacuum
stroke.
3. When cleaning, keep the working opening
(mouth) flat on the surface being cleaned. Keep
the wand moving when the valve is open.
4. The unit will automatically shut-down when the
waste tank is full. This will prevent water being
drawn into the vacuum pump. If shut-down
occurs, empty the waste tank before proceeding.
