MACHINE OPERATION

Read all instructions before using
this machine.
PRE-SWEEP
Sweep the area to be cleaned prior to operating the
machine.
PRE-SPRAY
With the use of a pump-up sprayer, pre-spray the floor with
an approved Hard Surface Pre-Spray detergent. Only use
commercially available floor cleaners intended for machine
application. Follow proper mixing and handling instructions on
detergent bottle.
WARNING:
Do not use flammable cleaning
solvents with machine. Do not pick up flammable or
combustible material or work in areas were they may be
present.
SET PRESSURE
While the trigger is activated on the hard surface tool and the
pump switch is turned on turn the pressure adjustment knob on
the front of the machine between 400-1200 PSI.
CAUTION: When using a hand tool or carpet wand adjust
pressure according to accessory tool specifications.
CLEANING WITH HARD SURFACE TOOL
1. Follow site safety guidelines concerning wet floors.
2. Verify the vacuum hose and solution hose are securely
connected to the machine and hard surface tool.
3. Choose either the Glide Ring or the Brush Ring for the Hard
Surface Tool. Using the 3 tabs snap the desired ring onto
the Dome Housing of the Hard Surface Tool.
Glide Ring – man made tiles such as porcelain and ceramic.
Brush Ring – natural stone and non-man made surfaces with a
texture.

4. Ensure the vacuum break cover is closed when using the
Hard Surface Tool. If the Hard Surface Tool happens to
stick to the floor due to the vacuum suction, slide the
vacuum break cover up. Once the Hard Surface Tool is loose
from the floor close the vacuum break cover.
5. Turn on the pump and vacuum switches. Turn on the Auto-
Dump switch if using this feature.

6. For optimum cleaning results pull trigger while moving the
Hard Surface Tool in a front to back motion.
7. Go over area just cleaned with vacuum only stroke before
moving to the next area.
NOTE: Use defoamer any time foaming occurs in the recovery
tank to prevent damage to the motor or other components.
8. Monitor the water level in the solution tank. If the solution
tank runs dry, the pump must be reprimed.
9. When the solution tank is low, turn off all the switches,
empty the recovery tank and then fill the solution tank.
NOTE: When the recovery tank is full, the ball float screen will
shut-off the suction to prevent the machine from overflowing.
Always use defoamer to prevent overflow. The ball float screen
may not work if there is too much foam in the tank. Always use
defoamer to prevent overflow.
10. When finished with the job, shut off all switches. Before
disconnecting solution hose relieve the water pressure from
the Hard Surface Tool by holding the trigger on the Hard
Surface Tool.
