IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS CARPET SHAMPOOER/EXTRACTOR.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Do not immerse product. Use only on surfaces moistened by cleaning process.
• Do not use outdoors or expose to rain.
• Use only commercially available floor cleaners intended for machine application.
• Do not leave the Carpet Shampooer/Extractor when plugged in. Turn OFF the switch and unplug the electrical cord
when not in use and before servicing.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the Carpet Shampooer/Extractor is not working properly, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center immediately.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run the Carpet Shampooer/Extractor over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only (refer to Grounding Instructions).
• Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle plug or Carpet Shampooer/Extractor with wet hands.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may
reduce airflow.
• This Carpet Shampooer/Extractor creates suction. Some models also contain a revolving brush roll. Keep hair, loose
clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot fireplace or barbecue ashes.
• Do not use without recovery tank in place.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• If the machine tips over during use, shut it off immediately, set it upright, and wait for the motor to stop completely. This
allows the ball float to return to normal position and permits proper airflow through the cleaner.
• Do not use to pick up gasoline, acetone, perfumes, colognes, paint thinners and other flammable liquids or use in places
where they may be present.
• Operate and store indoors in an area above 32°F where the machine will not freeze.
• Keep your work area well lighted.
