SET-UP and OPERATION:
Fill the holding tank with clear water and the detergent of your choice. Mix well. Although this machine is
designed to supply instant hot water, the addition of warm water to the holding tank would increase heater
efficiency. Never use water above 130º F/54º C in the solution tank.
1. Plug in cord #1. (This cord runs the pump and vacuum). Attach the priming hose to the machine and place
the open end into the tank (see Fig. #1)
2. Turn on the pump (turn pump pressure dial all the way clockwise) and let it run until the pump is fully
primed (approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute - older pumps may take longer). Turn off the pump and
disconnect the priming hose. Attach the cleaning hose and tool.
3. Turn on the pump and spray through the cleaning tool for a few seconds to fill the lines with solution.
4. Plug in cord #2 (indicated by the red “H” on the back of the machine). IF THE GREEN LIGHT ILLUMINATES,
THE HEAT EXCHANGER WILL TURN ON AUTOMATICALLY (SEE NOTE BELOW). Wait until the red mode
light goes out (approximatley 2 minutes) for the heat exchanger to reach operating temperature. You may
now begin cleaning. NOTE: During normal operation, the red light will be on most of the time.
NOTE: If the green circuit indicator light does not illuminate when cord #2 is plugged in, then
both cords are on the same circuit. Try other outlets until the light comes on. See bypass switch
section (below) if you are unable to get a green light.
ELECTRIC CIRCUIT LOCATOR:
This unique, patented “smart system,” operated by a solid state circuit, will inform the operator when the two
cords are plugged into separate lines by illuminating the green, indicator light. This helps prevent tripping circuit
breakers.
BYPASS SWITCH:
The bypass switch (#5) completely bypasses the circuit locator system. Use this feature when you cannot get
the green Locator light (#7) to come on and you believe that the two cords are on separate circuits.
CAUTION: If the bypass switch is on when the two cords are plugged into the same circuit, the
breaker may trip.
AUTO VACUUM SHUTOFF:
When the recovery tank is full, the float system will shut off the vacuum motor and prevent the machine from
overflowing. The float may not work in foam. Always use a defoamer to prevent overflow. Once the vacuum
motor shuts off, the vac switch (#2) must be turned off, the recovery tank emptied, and then the vacuum swtich
turned back on (up position) to get the vacuum motor started again.
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.
PUMP PRESSURE:
Make sure the cleaning tool is spraying when adjusting the pressure, otherwise the pressure reading will be
inaccurate.

time the recovery tank is emptied, the float should
be checked for hair and dirt that may effect float
operation (float must travel freely). The filter is
removable and must be kept clean.
