CONDENSED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARING THE MACHINE
1.
Pour clean solution into front tank.
2.
Slide vacuum hose on to the black hose
adapter located at the back of machine and the
wand.
3.
Connect the male end of the solution hose to
the wand and the female end to the machine by
sliding knurled collar on the female quick
disconnect fitting back. Push the male fitting in
and release the knurled collar until it snaps
back.
4.
Make sure the drain valve is closed by pushing
the T-handle all the way in.
5.
Previously shampooed carpets may have a
heavy build-up of old shampoo residue which
can cause the vacuum system to ingest foam
and result in damage to the vacuum motor.
Remember to add recommended amount of
defoamer to the recovery tank every time you
fill the solution tank.
Plug the machine into a suitable electrical
6.
outlet.
PRIMING THE PUMP (500PSI UNITS)
WARNING: FOR ALL UNITS FITTED WITH
HEAT'N'RUN DO NOT TURN ON HEATER UNTIL
PUMP IS PRIMED AND WATER IS RUNNING
THROUGH CARPET WAND.
The Steempro Powerplus 500 must be primed as
follows before use. The pump rarely needs to be
primed after the first time each day unless the
solution is allowed to run low or if the unit has been
laid on its side during transport or storage.
Prior to connecting the hoses
1.
Add water to the front solution tank.
2.
Turn the pump switch, located on the handle, to
the "on" position.
3.
Turn both vacuum switches, located on the
handle, to the "on" position.
4.
Cover the black vacuum hose adaptor, located
at the back of the recovery tank, with your
hand.
5.
While covering the vacuum hose adaptor, push
down on the lever of the power primer, located
on the lower left side on the back of the motor
housing, above the quick disconnect.
6.
Hold down the lever until you see running water
in the clear cap of the in-line filter, located in
the middle on the back of the motor housing.
7.
Release the lever.
8.
Turn both vacuum switches to the "off" position.
9.
Open the recovery tank lid and look for water
inside tank. If no water is in the recovery tank,
the pump is not primed and the above steps
need to be repeated.
10. Once the pump is primed fill the solution tank
with cleaning solution and proceed to clean.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CARPET WAND
Important: Use only Prochem wands and hand
tools with the Steempro 2000 equipment. They
are designed to deliver and maintain the correct
amount of solution and pressure when attached
to the Steempro pump system. Use of other
manufacturers wands may cause over-wetting
of carpet, damage to the pump system and lack
of pressure.
6.
Turn on the vacuum and solution switches.
Slowly pull the wand head towards you with the
solution valve trigger engaged. Then make a
pass forward and backward with the vacuum
only (no spray) over the cleaned area to
remove as much soil and solution as possible.
Do not over-wet carpet! Make overlapping
passes to prevent streaking.
7.
On heavily soiled carpets, we strongly
recommend using a pre-spray solution. If the
carpet is heavily soiled, squeeze solution valve
lever on the forward pass as well as
backwards, allowing cleaning solution a few
seconds longer to work prior to vacuuming.
8.
When you run out of solution, turn off the
pump. Attach the drain elbow on the drain
valve. Place a bucket under the drain elbow
and pull up the drain valve T-handle. Dirty
solution will pour out until the tank is empty.
Close the drain valve. Use a clean bucket when
you refill the solution tank.
9.
When the job is completed, turn the switches
off and disconnect the vacuum and solution
hoses from the carpet tool and the machine.
Drain the recovery tank through the drain valve
as before.
