Operating Procedures; Operation - Pacific SCE-4 Parts & Operating Manual

WARNING! For the safe operation of this machine follow the instructions given in this booklet and the training given by
your supervisor. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or damage to machine and property!
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT!
WARNING! NEVER USE THIS MACHINE TO PICK UP VOLATILE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL!
The model shown in this manual is intended for commercial use.
PREPARATION
1. Check power cord, plug and strain relief for worn or damaged insulation. Repair or replace if necessary.
2. Confirm the quick connects located at the back of the machine are properly attached. This is the water supply line and
solution water will not be allowed to flow through to the jets if this connection isn't secure.
3. Lock the brush assembly in the up position for storage or transport. This is done by pullin up on the black knob/lift
mechanism at the front of the machine and allowing the lift stop to rest on the bracket.
4. Inspect the vacuum head and brush by tilting the machine backwards.
a) Vacuum head: Check for any damage. Burrs on the contact surface may snag carpet fibers. Gouges, scratches and
chipped areas can reduce vacuum performance.
b) Brush: Inspect for damaged or missing bristles, replace if necessary.
Return the machine to the upright position.
5. Check the inlet screen and filter bag in the opening of the fresh water/solution tank for damage or debris. Holes in the
screen can allow contaminants to enter the pump resulting in costly repairs. A clogged screen will reduce pump
performance and may cause permanent damage.
6. Remove the clear dome on top of the recovery tank.
a) Inspect for damage to the dome and gasket. Dirt or debris on the gasket or sealing surface of the tank can cause a
vacuum leak and reduce vacuum performance.
b) The intake filter screen should be clean of debris and checked periodically for any damage, replace if necessary.
Return the cover to its original position.

OPERATION

The following procedures are intended to describe and detail proper operation of your machine. Failure to follow these
recommended procedures can reduce the machine's performance and may result in damage to the machine.
1. Vacuum the area to be cleaned. Your machine will do a more thorough job if the loose dirt and debris are removed
before the extraction process begins.
2. Add NON-FOAMING cleaning concentrate to the fresh water/solution tank. Follow mixing instructions for 3 to 3.5
gallons of water. Then fill the tank with warm water using the faucet/power fill adapter or you may mix the
concentrate with 3-3.5 gallons of clean water in a CLEAN bucket then pour the mixture into the solution tank through
the mesh bag at the front of the machine. Do not use water hotter than 600C (1400F). DO NOT OVERFILL. NEVER USE
THE RECOVERY TANK'S DIRTY WATER TO FILL THE SOLUTION TANK!
3. Ensure the water supply hose connection at the rear of the machine is secure.
4. Connect the power cord plug to a 115 volt grounded wall socket. See Grounding Instructions on page 2. Use of an
extension cord is not recommended. However, if one is necessary, use only a 14-gauge or larger cord. Smaller or inferior
cords are dangerous and may cause damage to your machine.
5. Lower the brush assembly by lifting the black knob off the storage/transport bracket.
6. Turn on the vacuum switch at the control panel to start the vacuum motor.
Note: The accessory pump switch is for use only with the accessory tools. See "OPERATING WITH ACCESSORY TOOLS".
7. Pull backward during operation. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE IN A FORWARD DIRECTION. Position yourself behind
the machine, grasp the ahndle and depress the red momentary "Pump/Brush" switch on the top center of the handle.
This switch activates the brush drive motor and the pump to spray cleaning solution. Walk slowly backward and
continue to depress the red switch to perform the cleaning process.
8. Release the red button approximately 6 inches before completing each pass. The spray jets are located behnd the
vacuum head making it necessary to pull the machine a few inches further to pick up the last amount of solution
dispensed onto the carpet.
9. Tilt the machine back on the rear wheels and walk forward to position the machine along side the previous pass (slightly
overlapping).
