NOTE:
You may pre-spray your cleaning area with a pre-spray solution prior to extracting or you may use the
CHEMICAL FEED AND MIXING SYSTEM to mix in the cleaning solution automatically with water while
cleaning.
To use the ADJUSTABLE CHEMICAL FEED AND MIXING SYSTEM, have a bottle or bucket of cleaning solution
ready. (See image 19.4). If you are using a cleaning chemical in powder form, mix it with water thoroughly, make sure
it is fully dissolved. Any undissolved powder can clog up the flowmeter, spray jets, and other parts on the extractor
damaging them in the process.
A. Place the bottle or pail of cleaning solution to the the side of the extractor. Put the end of CHEMICAL FEED LINE
all the way to the bottom of the bottle or bucket of cleaning solution. (See image 19.4). If the CHEMICAL FEED
LINE is not fully submerged in the solution, air can get into the system and it may disable it.
B. Turn pump switches “ON”.
C. Open the adjustable flowmeter fully by turning it counter clockwise. (See image 19.1 and 19.2)
If there is any air in the system, you will see air bubbles in the adjustable flowmeter and the ball inside will be
bobbing up and down. (See image 19.2) Then, pull the trigger valve from wand or any attached tools to let the air
out. (See the “How to Bleed” page)
D. Adjust the Adjustable flowmeter according to the chart. (See image 19.3) Mixture rate should be based on the
condition of the carpet or upholstery you are cleaning. When setting the flowmeter, open the solution valve on the
wand.
