MAINTENANCE
The upright extractor is engineered for minimum maintenance. But it does require some care to keep it in
optimum working condition. Careful attention to these maintenance instructions will give you maximum
operating performance and life expectancy of the machine.
•
Solution line, fittings and accessory tools. -Flush the machine and accessories at least once a
month with solution of 1 part water to 3 parts white vinegar to neutralize the alkaline residue left by
the cleaning solution.
•
Filter Solution screen. -Unscrew bowl and rinse screen in running tap water. If screen is clogged up
with soap, soak in vinegar solution and brush clean.
•
Vacuum lid screens. -Always keep the screen clean in order to maintain maximum suction and
airflow performance from the vacuum motor. The screens also prevent lint from accumulating in the
vacuum motor fan chamber thus increasing the productive life of the motor. Do not operate the unit
without the screen installed! If the screen gets lost or damaged, replace it immediately.
•
Quick disconnect coupler. -Spray with lubricant (WD-40) or equivalent to prevent coupler from
sticking.
