DAILY MAINTENANCE:
(At the end of each working day) :
1.)
Flush the entire system, including floor tool, hand tool, etc., with 1 to 3 gallons of clean,
hot water.
2.)
Vacuum out the solution tank .
3.)
Rinse tank with fresh water. Periodically inspect the recovery tank and decontaminate if
necessary, using a Hospital Grade Virucide or a 1-10 bleach to water solution. Waste
water should be disposed of properly.
4.)
Remove lint build-up from the float shut-off screen in the recovery tank . (Occasionally
check filter screen at the bottom of the solution tank and rinse clean with hot water if
necessary).
5.)
Inspect hoses for wear. Frayed or cracked hoses should be replaced to avoid vacuum
or solution pressure loss.
6.)
Inspect power cord for wear or damage. This cable will lay on wet carpet. To prevent
electrical shock replace cords that are frayed or have cracked insulation immediately.
7.)
Ensure automatic shut-off ball is working properly.
8.)
Clean all dirt and obstructions from drain valve and gaskets to prevent possible leakage
and premature wear.
9.)
Run clean water through solution pump when work is complete.
10.)
Empty both tanks and rinse, run vacuum (s) for at least one minute to dry motor(s).
11.)
Store with access covers removed to allow tanks to dry.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1.) Twice a month, flush a white vinegar solution (One quart vinegar to two gallons of
water) or anti-browning solution (mixed as directed) through the extractor, turning pump
switch on/off several times, flush with clean water. This will prevent build-up of alkaline
residue in the system.
2.) Check hoses for wear, blockages, or damage. Frayed or cracked hoses should be
repaired or replaced to eliminate vacuum or solution pressure loss.
3.) Check all handles, switches, knobs, electrical cables and connections on your machine for
damage. If the cable insulation is broken or frayed, repair or replace it immediately. Don't
take chances with electrical fire or shock.
4.) Clean out solution tank and remove and clean solution screen.
5.) Clean outside of all tanks and check for damage.
Monthly Maintenance
1.) Check all bearings for noise and wear.
2.) Check all gaskets for wear and leakage.
3.) Check pump pressure; observe spray pattern and check with gauge if necessary.
4.) Check overall performance of machine.
5.) Grease piston inside pressure regulator.
SEMI-ANNUALLY
1.) Check vacuum motor brushes.
