OPERATING THE MACHINE

1 Follow the instructions in the Preparing the Machine for Use section of this manual.
2
Turn off all the switches. Plug the power cords into properly grounded outlets. Do not connect both cords to the same outlet; the green,
Circuit Indicator Light (A) on the switch plate should light up. If the indicator light does not come on, try different outlets until it does.
3 If you choose not to use the auto-fill feature, fill the tank with water and cleaning chemical. Follow chemical directions regarding dilution and
mixing. Do not use harsh chemicals; they may damage seals in pumps and valves, and cause the pump to wear prematurely.
If you choose to use the auto-fill feature, see "Auto-Fill Operation" steps on the previous page.
CAUTION!
• Do not use solvents, or any chemicals that may be flammable, explosive or combustible.
4 If not using the auto-dump feature, make sure the Auto-Dump Outlet Cap (13) is on the drain hose connector on the front of the base of the
machine, and keep Auto-Dump Switch (C) in the OFF (O) position.
If you choose to use the auto-dump feature, see "Auto-Dump Operation" steps on the previous page.
5 Attach the priming hose to the machine at Quick Disconnect (6) and place the open end into the solution tank.
6 Turn ON the Solution Pump (D) and let it run until the pump is fully primed (approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute). Once the pump is primed,
turn off the pump and remove the priming hose. Never remove the prinimg hose while the pump is still running.
7 Connect a solution line to the Solution Hose Quick Disconnect (6). Attach the other end of the solution line to the cleaning tool.
Never turn on the Solution Pump (D) before first connecting your solution line to your machine and to your tool. If the pump builds up pressure
before you connect the hose and tool, you will not be able to connect them. If this occurs; unlatch the tanks at Latch (5) and tip open the tanks,
then press the lever on the Pressure Relief Valve (16) to relieve the solution line pressure.
8 Connect a vacuum hose to the Vacuum Hose Barb (2). Attach the other end of the vacuum hose to the cleaning tool.
9 Press the Solution Pump Switch (D) to ON (I).
CAUTION!
• Never leave the solution pump running when you are not actively using it.
10 Press the Vacuum Switch (B) to ON (I).
11 Spray through your tool a few times to fill the lines with solution. Begin cleaning.
12 To adjust the solution spray pressure; rotate the Pressure Adjustment Knob (18) clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to
decrease pressure. The pump spraying pressure will be observable at the Pressure Gauge (21) while spraying. Make sure the cleaning tool is
spraying when adjusting the pressure, otherwise the pressure reading will be inaccurate.
13 Watch the fluid entering the Recovery Tank Lid (1). If there is a large amount of suds in the recovery tank, add a defoamer chemical to the
recovery tank.
CAUTION!
• Empty the recovery tank before the fluid or foam enters the vacuum motor.
• If foam or liquid escapes from the machine, switch off immediately.
CAUTION!
Always make sure the float is clean and travels freely before turning on the machine. A float that is stuck will cause the
vacuum motor to suck in water, resulting in vac motor damage.
14 The recovery tank has a Recovery Tank Shutoff Float (8) to block the vacuum system when the recovery tank is full (when not using the auto-
dump feature). You can tell when the float closes by the sudden change in the sound of the vacuum motor. When the float closes, the recovery
tank must be emptied. The machine can continue to dispense solution, but will not pick up water with the float closed.
15 If not using the auto-fill feature; monitor the water level in the solution tank. Do not let the pump run dry. When the solution tank gets low, turn
off the solution pump and the vacuum motor, refill the solution tank with water and the proper ratio of cleaning detergent. Empty the recovery
tank and continue cleaning.
16 When the operator has completed the job; turn off the water source for the auto-fill feature. Follow the instructions in the After Using the Machine
section of this manual.
