OPERATING PROCEDURES

The ACHIEVER  80/110  machines  are  the  most  “user 

friendly” self-contained extractors available.  The following 

procedures are intended to describe and detail proper opera-

tion of your machine.  Failure to follow these recommended 

procedures can reduce the machine’s performance and may 

result in damage to the machine.

1.

  Vacuum

 

the area to be cleaned

.  Your machine will 

do a more thorough job if the loose dirt and debris are 

removed before the extraction process begins. 

2.

  Fill the

 

fresh water tank

 (lower tank) with water and 

Heavy Duty Carpet Extraction chemical.  Hot water is 

recommended, but not required.  Do not use water hotter 
than 60

°

C (140

°

F).  Mix in chemicals according to the 

chemical manufacturer’s recommendations.  For best 

results use Steamex Heavy Duty Carpet Cleaner.

3.  Use of an extension cord is not recommended.  How-

ever, if one is necessary, use only a 

14 gauge

 or larger 

cord.  Smaller or inferior cords are dangerous and may 

cause damage to your machine.

4.  After the machine is filled with solution, 

connect the 

power cord plug to a

 

115 volt

 

grounded

 

wall socket

See Grounding Instructions.

5.

  Lower the floating

 

brush chassis

 using the lift handle 

located in the front of the machine.  Lift the handle off 

the lift stop bracket and lower until the brush contacts 

the floor.  Remember to always raise and lock the brush 

chassis for storage and transport.

6.

  Turn the

 

spool valve knob 

(located on the back of the 

machine) 

to the:

a)

  “Machine”  (horizontal)

 

position

  for  routine 

carpet extraction as a self-contained unit, or 

b)   Turn it in the 

“Tool” (vertical)

 position when using 

a wand or tool.   

7.  The 

switch panel

 is located on top of the handle and 

contains the following:

a)

  Turn the

 

vacuum switch on

 to start the vacuum 

motor.

b)

  Accessory only pump switch:

  Do not turn on the 

accessory pump switch unless the spool valve knob 

is turned to the tool position.  

8.

  Pull

 

backward during operation

.  DO  NOT AT-

TEMPT TO OPERATE IN A FORWARD DIREC-

TION.  Position yourself behind the machine, grasp 

the handle and gently 

lift up on

 

the

 

actuator bar

.  

Lifting the actuator bar activates the brush drive motor 

and the pump.  Walk slowly backward to perform the 

cleaning process.

9.

  Release the actuator bar approximately 6 inches

 

before completing each pass

.  The spray jets are 

located behind the vacuum head making it  necessary 

to pull the machine a few inches further to pick up the 

last amount of solution dispensed onto the carpet.

10.

  Tilt the machine back on the rear wheels and

 

walk 

forward

 to position the machine along side the previ-

ous pass (slightly overlapping).

11.  As

 

dirty solution is recovered, some foaming may be 

noted.  Excessive foaming can be counteracted with 

liquid defoamer applied according to the chemical 

manufacturing directions.  

Do not allow foam to rise 

into or near the dome.   

Use defoamer or empty and 

flush the recovery tank.

12.  To 

drain the recovery tank

, place an empty bucket 

under the drain valve located on back of the machine.  

To open the drain valve pull the T-Handle up. Close 

the drain when the bucket is full or the recovery tank 

is empty.  Dispose of the recovered water properly.

13.

  If streaking occurs

 after a period of operating time, 

this  means  the  solution  (fresh  water)  tank  is  near 

empty.  Streaking is eliminated by adding  more water 

and chemical solution to the tank.

14.  To

 drain the solution tank

, attach the small drain or 

“pump out” hose to the accessory quick connect on 

the back of the machine.  Turn the spool valve knob 

to the “tool” position.  Place the open end of the hose 

into a bucket and turn on the accessory pump switch.  

When empty, turn off the pump switch and remove 

the hose from the quick connect.  Also return the spool 

valve knob to the “machine” position.

15.

  After each use clean the dome, intake filter and 

gasket

.  Do not reinstall the dome until the next use, 

this will allow the recovery tank to dry out.

16.

  Raise the brush chassis

 for storage.
