2.1 - Powering the Grand Prix™
Plug the power cord from the Grand Prix™ into a standard
grounded wall outlet. The Grand Prix™ operates off a single,
♦
grounded 20 amp outlet.
2.2 - Filling the Solution Tank
Lift the tank lid and, using a bucket, fill the solution tank via the
large opening. For best results, use warm water.
2.3 - Connecting the Hoses
Do not operate machine with a spray nozzle
orifice smaller than #2. This can damage the
pump switch.
Do not pull on hoses in order to move the unit.
Use only the appropriate handles.
Connect the vacuum hose to
the Cuff-Lynx hose connec-
tion on the vacuum tank. Twist
clockwise to lock into place.
Connect the solution hose to
the brass quick connect fitting
on the base of the machine. To
connect, pull back the flange
on the female fitting from the hose and slide onto the male
fitting on the machine. Release to lock fittings together.
2.4 - Operating the Grand Prix™
In order to avoid vapor locking the unit, the components
should be switched on by following the procedure below after
a cleaning tool is connected:
1. Turn pump switch on. Pull the lever on the cleaning tool to
release air in the line. Hold lever until a steady flow of water
comes out of the tool.
♦
2. Once pump is primed and there is pressure in the solution
line, turn on heater switch and wait a few minutes for water to
heat up.
3. Once water is heated, turn on vacuum and begin cleaning.
Cleaning Procedure
For best results when extracting, do one wet pass followed
by two dry passes. This ensures you're not over-soaking the
material and keeps water temperature higher.
The solution pump will only turn on when there is a pressure
♦
demand (e.g., while spraying with cleaning tool, or right at
startup). If the pump is continuously running or pulsing, there
may be an issue with the pump pressure switch. See the
Troubleshooting section of this manual.

Use only low foam or non foaming detergent or
shampoo. Damage due to excessive foam will
void warranty.
Empty the vacuum tank any time you refill the
solution tank in order to prevent vacuum tank
overfilling.
