OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A. FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK:
1. Remove clear dome from recovery tank.
2. Lift upper recovery tank from machine and
set aside.
3. Use a clean bucket or hose to fill solution
tank with hot water. The solution tank holds
4 gallons (15.2 liters) of cleaning solution.
Do not use the recovery tank to fill the solution
tank. Sediment in the recovery tank can damage
the solution pump and clog the spray jets,
rendering the machine inoperable.
4. Add a non-foaming concentrate for use in
hot water extractors at the proportions noted
on the container.
Note: Periodically operate the extractor with only hot
water to remove chemical residue in carpet.
To avoid possible distortion of the polyethylene
solution/recovery tanks, DO NOT USE WATER
WITH A TEMPERATURE THAT EXCEEDS 140°F
(60°C).
5. Place recovery tank back on machine.
6. Place dome on recovery tank. Make sure
dome is seated correctly to ensure proper
vacuum seal.
Use only the suitable chemicals listed in the
Chemical Section. Using incompatible
chemicals will damage the machine. Carefully
read ingredients on manufacturer's label before
using any product in this machine.
OPERATING THE MACHINE
1. Vacuum the carpet and make sure it is cleared
of surface debris before cleaning.
2. Plug power cord into a grounded wall outlet.
Defeating the grounding pin on the power cord
can result in a severe electrical shock.
3. Turn on the pump, brush and vacuum switches,
listening for each motor to turn on.
NOTE: The vacuum and the brush are protected by
circuit breakers located on the back panel, below
their respective switch.
NOTE: If either of these motors does not respond to
being switched on, reset the circuit breakers by
pressing them in, and attempt to switch the machine
on again.
3-3
NOTE: If solution does not dispense in an even
pattern across the width of the machine, the spray
jet may be clogged. Tilt the machine back and
remove the spray tip by pushing in and turning it
one quarter turn. Wash it thoroughly, and blow dry.
NOTE: Do not use pins, wire, etc. to clean spray jet
nozzle as this will deform the jet and destroy the
spray pattern.
6. Begin with the machine at the edge of the
carpet. Actuate the solution lever while pulling
the machine backwards. Release solution lever
at least 12 inches before the end of each
cleaning pass. This will ensure all dispensed
cleaning solution is extracted from carpet.
While operating machine, check for excessive
foam buildup in the recovery tank. If excessive
foam is present, add a defoamer solution to
recovery tank, or empty tank.
7. Empty recovery tank when approximately 3/4
full. If the recovery tank is overfilled, the water
will drain back onto the carpet when the vacuum
is switched off.
8. Ventilate area after carpet has been cleaned.
Keep children and pets away and do not walk
on carpet until it is dry.
A Windblower™ fan can be used to reduce drying time.
OPERATING MACHINE WITH
ACCESSORY TOOLS
This extractor is easily adapted for use with Windsor
accessory tools: Contact Customer Service for details.
1. Lift flap on the front of the vac shoe and insert
hose cuff into the vac shoe, ensuring that there is
a tight fit.
2. Attach the solution hose from accessory tool to the
brass solution fitting on the front of machine.
3. Switch on the pump and the vacuum. The
application of cleaning solution is now controlled
by the lever on the accessory tool.
Do not switch on brush when operating the
machine with accessory tools. Carpet damage
may occur.
NOTE: The solution pump is not intended to run dry.
When using the extractor for vacuum pick-up only,
insure that the pump switch is turned off.
