Operating Instructions; Ss-P 150, Ss-P 150H, Ss-P500, Ss-P 500H - Sapphire Audio SS-P 150 User Instructions

Heat (heated units only). Turns on in-line solution
heater. Heated units are equipped with a second power
cord. Because the heating circuit draws about 17 amps,
the second power cord must be plugged in to a separate
electric power source rated for at least 20 amps.
OTHER CONTROLS
Pressure regulator (Fig. 2, G). 500 and 1200EX models
only. Turn clockwise to increase solution pressure; turn
counterclockwise to decrease solution pressure.
Auto pumpout switch (Fig. 2, E) 1200EX only. Switch
to on position to activate auto pumpout mode.
SS-P 150, SS-P 150H, SS-P 500 and
SS-P 500H OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Pre-mix cleaning solution with hot water in a
separate container. Pour mixed solution into the
solution tank of the machine.
IMPORTANT: When necessary use liquid defoamer
agent in the recovery tank to control foaming. Excess
foam in the recovery tank can allow moisture, carpet
fiber and other debris to be drawn through the vacuum
cutoff valve and cause damage to the vacuum motors.
Damage caused by moisture or debris will void the
product warranty. Follow defoamer manufacturer
instructions for proper application.
2. Connect vacuum and solution hoses to machine and
attach to extraction wand or hand tool.
3. Insert both plugs into separate 3-pin grounded
outlets. It is imperative that the cords are plugged

into separate circuits rated for at least 20 amps of
service. Keep cords clear of your cleaning path.
4. Switch vacuum control to VAC 1 or VAC 1&2
position.
5. Turn on solution pump.
6. If desired, turn on heater (H units only).
7. Begin cleaning. Refer to industry-approved
procedures.
8. Solution pressure may be adjusted with the pressure
regulator knob (Fig. 2, G). Monitor the pressure
gauge (if equipped) to ensure pressure is adequate.
CAUTION: When the recovery tank reaches capacity,
an automatic float valve blocks vacuum intake (see
Fig. 7) and the vacuum motors will make a high
pitched noise. When this occurs, the machine
should be turned off immediately to prevent damage
to the vacuum motors.
9. When the recovery tank is full, first turn the unit off.
Pull up on the drain valve on the front of the
machine (Fig. 1) and empty the tank it into a suitable
container or drain. Be sure to close the valve again
securely before returning the unit to use.
10. When the job is complete, empty and rinse out the
solution tank thoroughly to prevent growth of harmful
bacteria. Turn on both vacuum motors and allow
them to run for 3–5 minutes to help eliminate any
moisture from the vacuum motors and assure long
vacuum life.
For maintenance instructions, see "Maintenance," p. 4.
TIP: To empty the solution tank, remove the vacuum
hose from wand and extract the solution from solution
tank.
