GENERAL INFORMATION
Automatic Suction Shut-Off
NOTE: Use the vacuum in the upright position. If the cleaner should tip, the automatic suction shut-off turns off the
suction.
The automatic suction shut-off functions when the tank is full of liquid. As the tank fills, the ball float (inside the cage) rises until
it seats itself against the motor inlet. This shuts off the suction causing the motor sound to become higher in pitch. When this
happens, empty the tank.
The automatic suction shut-off also functions if the cleaner tips over. To continue use, turn cleaner off and set it upright. Wait a
few seconds to allow motor to come to a complete stop so the ball drops. Restart the motor.
Use this vacuum for wet pickup only.

When the tank is full:
HOW TO USE
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 rear of the unit. The elbow will direct the flow of recovered
water downward.
• As the tank fills with liquid, the ball float (inside the cage) rises
until it seats itself against the bottom of the motor.
• 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.
• Empty contents into a suitable drain by pulling the T-handle on
the waste valve. (See page 3.)
• Use special care when emptying full tanks with liquids. Complete
opening of the waste valve can result in a sudden rush of
liquid.
Fill Solution Tank
CAUTION: Useonlycommerciallyavailablecarpetandupholstery
cleaners intended for machine applications.
Mix hot water and approved extractor detergent in a clean bucket.
Avoid mixing the chemical and water in the solution tank as the
chemical does not dissolve completely and will clog your solution tank
filter. Clogging the filter will starve the pump of fluid and can shorten
the life of the pump considerably. (Follow recommended mix ratio on
extraction detergent label.)
• Close T-handle on the waste valve to continue cleaning.
Clean and Store
NOTE: Turn off the power switch and unplug electrical cord
before cleaning tank.
• Empty tank of all liquid and thoroughly rinse inside before
storing.
NOTE: Do not overfill.
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.
• Clean and dry tank and all accessories.
• Store indoors in a cool, dry area.
Power Switches
The power switch is on the handle.
• Wear ear protection (not provided) if operating the cleaner for a
prolonged period of time.
• Turn all three switches on.
OPTIONAL EXTRACTOR WAND
ACCESSORY KITS
ASSEMBLY
• You will hear and feel the brush rotating in the machine.
Attach Vacuum Hose Coupling
• Disconnect hose from hose inlet.
• Push the accessory hose coupling into the hose inlet.
• Give a slight twist to secure.
Prime Pump
• The 100-PSI pump MUST be primed. To achieve this, pour
enough water into the solution tank to cover the intake filter
with at least 3 inches of water. With the machine turned on and
the pump switch in the ON position, press the GREEN button
between the handles until the air in the line is emptied and the
jets are spraying evenly. After priming the pump, fill the solution
tank with your water/solution mix.
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.
Begin Cleaning
Begin Cleaning
• This unit cleans only while pulling backwards. To push, slightly tip
the front of the unit off the surface of the carpet and roll forward.
The brush roll should contact the carpet only on the backward
stroke. To clean an area press the GREEN spray button and pull
themachinebackwards. Keepunitmovingataslow, steadypace.
You can go over the area again without pressing the GREEN
spray button to vacuum up additional solution from the carpet.
• 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 disperse 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.
• You will notice the carpet you just cleaned will be damp. This is
normal.

in an inconspicuous place before cleaning. Do not leave unit running
in one spot. Carpet damage could result.
