5.2 Clean Vacuum Float Assembly Screen Continued
This screen should be cleaned frequently if
the Carpet Extractor is being operated in an
environment which has an abnormal build-
up of lint and debris, such as cleaning newly
installed carpet. Loss of vacuum is most
normally associated with lint build-up in this
filter at the top of the vacuum stand pipe.
5.3 Rinse Out Recovery Tank
Build-up of fine silt and debris can damage the
auto-dump pump and dump valve. Clean out
the recovery tank on a regular basis to extend the
life of these components as well as keep the tank and machine smelling better.
To rinse out recovery tank, remove the recovery tank lid and open the dump valve. Place
a bucket under the dump valve. Use a hose to rinse the dirt and debris out of the recovery
tank. Close the dump valve and spray the tank with deodorizer or disinfectant. Proceed to
waste pump cleaning and replace the recovery tank lid. Dispose of dirty water and debris.
5.4 Clean Pump Inlet Filter
CAUTION: before proceeding with this procedure, make sure both the power cords are
disconnected.
• To examine the filter, open the solution tank lid on the front of the machine. The filter
is in the bottom of the solution tank.
• Grasp the filter cap and unscrew the filter from the brass nipple by turning counter-
clockwise. Clean or replace the filter as needed.
•
Tilt the tanks back onto the base and secure the plate.

5.5 WD-40 Vacuum Motors
Should moisture ever enter the vacuum motors, completely drain the recovery tank,
open the recovery tank lid, remove the vacuum float assembly, turn on both vacuum
motors and spray a five (5) second burst of WD-40 into the standpipe. Continue to
run the vacuum motors for at least three (3) minutes.
To prevent moisture from damaging the vacuum motors during storage, empty the
recovery tank and store with the lid open.
6.0 Storage and Freeze Protection
You must winterize your Carpet Extractor to protect the pump system from freezing
and also damage being caused to fittings and valves. Damage due to freezing is not
covered under the Warranty. Store your extractor in temperatures over 40 degrees
Fahrenheit. If you plan on storing your extractor in freezing conditions or for a long
period of time, the following procedure should help prevent your Carpet Extractor
from freezing and prevent pump and seals from drying out.
Recommended Procedure for Storage
• In a separate container, mix 1/2-gallon of water with 1/2-gallon of RV Water
System Antifreeze. Mix well and pour into the solution tank.
•
Connect the pressure hose to the female quick disconnect (QD) on the front of
the machine. Insert an open-ended male QD into the female QD on the end of the
pressure hose.
• When primed, turn down the pressure to 100 PSI.
•
Disconnect the open-ended QD and connect the solution hose to the male QD at
the auto-fill/chemical feed connection. CAUTION: applying high pressure (over
100 PSI) to the chemical feed system will damage the mechanism.
