Grounding Methods; Before Using The Extractor - Cleanfix TW Compact Safety, Operations & Maint. Manual

GROUNDING METHODS

This electric equipment is for use on a nominal
120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in (Fig. A). A temporary
adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in
(Fig. B & C) may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle as shown in (Fig. B) if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.

BEFORE USING THE EXTRACTOR

1. Remove furniture from the area to be
cleaned. Large pieces can be removed to
opposite end of the room from where you
start cleaning.
2. Vacuum carpet thoroughly to remove all
loose debris.
3. Make sure all switches are in the OFF
position.
4. Lift up the cover of the solution tank and fill
the machine with clean water using a clean
bucket or a hose attached to a water
source (9 gal. maximum capacity).
5. Add the chemical required. Check the label
for the correct dilution portions.
DO NOT operate extractor without a cord ground pin. This is necessary to
Safety, Operation and Maintenance Manual for TW Compact; Version 1.0
The temporary adaptor should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green color rigid ear,
lug or the like extending from the adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw (Fig. C).
6. If you are using heated water, the
temperature should not exceed 120° F.
This improves the cleaning effectiveness
when removing oil or grease from the
carpet.
7. Before plugging power cord into grounded
outlet all switches must be in the OFF
position.
NOTE: A non-foaming chemical must be used.
Carpet that has been previously cleaned may
have a heavy build-up of old shampoo residue
which may cause excessive foaming in the
recovery tank and could damage the vacuum
motor. Use a defoaming agent if this occurs.
WARNING
avoid electric shock.
DANGER:
Improper use of the
grounding plug can
result in a risk of
electrical shock.
