5. Do not handle plug or unit with wet hands. 6. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run machine over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. 7. Turn off all controls before unplugging. 8. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. 9. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow. 10. Do not use without filters in place. 11. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they may be present. 12. Do not expose to rain. Store indoors. 13. If unit is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, take it to a local CFR service center. Grounding Instructions This unit must be grounded. Grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current, in the event of malfunction or breakdown, to reduce the risk of elec- tric shock. This unit is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. WARNING! Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet; have a grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician. CFR CASCADE... -

WARNING! Do not fill the Cascade tank prior to the pre-use inspection. 1. To prepare the Cascade for use, remove the clear tank lid and disconnect the vacuum hose. 2. Unlatch the fasteners on the front of the machine, open the top. ❷ 3. Inspect the solution lines and the vacuum hose checking for any damage. 4. Close the machine fastening the latches. 5. Reconnect the vacuum hose and replace the clear tank lid. The Cascade utilizes multiple filters in the recycling of cleaning solution. It is imperative to the operation of the machine that filters are kept clean and in good working order with no tears, holes, or obvious signs of wear. Visually check all filters prior to use. 6. Remove the inlet filter, the main filter and both ball filters inspecting them for damage. ❸ 7. Check the low water shut off float, making sure the float moves freely. 8. Replace each filter.

Page 8: Filling The Tank
Filling the Tank ❶ 1. Fill the tank with water to the desired level. For the full 25 gallon capacity fill to the 25 gallon mark on the level gauge inside the tank. The Cascade requires a minimum of approximately 15 gallons to operate properly. This partial fill level is perfect for smaller areas or when you are doing maintenance cleaning. CAUTION! Water should never be higher than the inlet filter. Doing so will activate the automatic vac- uum shut off and the machine will not operate. CAUTION! Water temperature above 140° F (60°C) will cause the tank to buckle from the strong vacuum suction. ❷ 2. Add CFR’s in-tank cleaner at the proper ratio as 25 gallons described on the chemical label instructions. CFR’s in-tank cleaners are A Excell, Excell and Perform-All. 3. Add CFR’s Defoam to the tank, per label instructions, 15 gallons to prevent excess foaming. WARNING! Do not use any other defoaming product other than CFR’s Defoam. CFR CASCADE... -

is well primed. • Turn speed dial to 0 (zero). • lower the floor tool. • Turn vacuum switch on. • Turn pump switch on. • Squeeze the trigger for 30 seconds. • Adjust p.s.i. from 0 to 400, if necessary. Note: For P20 OZ models, turn on vacuum, pump and ozone switches on and let machine run for 15 minutes before use. P20 – The easy to use wand system cleans in the forward direction. 1. Prior to cleaning, purge the air in the solution line by circulating solution into the tank through the hose. • Attach hose and solution line without tool attached and place hose end in tank opening • Turn pump switch on and engage trigger for 30 seconds. • Adjust p.s.i. from 0 to 400, if necessary. This primes the pump, purges air from the lines, and automatically mixes the chemicals. The Cascade P20 is ready for cleaning. Note: If priming does not work, refer to page 16.

Verify that all power is off. ... - Page 14 Carpets/Hard Floor and Surfaces 1. Place the wand on the surface to be cleaned and move it at the rate of a slow walk. 2. Apply solution by engaging the trigger. CAUTION! When using CFR carpet wands, solution is applied on the forward stroke only. Use only enough downward pressure on the wand to move it effectively on both the push and pull stroke. Use of excessive downward pressure on the wand will decrease the efficiency. 3. Always finish cleaning with a dry stoke. CAUTION! It is very important to keep wands properly seated to the surface being cleaned to produce maximum cleaning effectiveness and minimum dry times. Upholstery 1. Place tool on surface to be cleaned. 2. Move (pull and push) tool at a rate of about one foot per second. 3. Apply solution on the pull stroke only. 4. Overlap passes by about 1 inch. When cleaning upholstery edges, hold finger over part of the tool to prevent overspray. Edges can also be cleaned by placing the tool on the edge of the upholstery and moving it parallel to the edge. CAUTION! When using CFR hand tools, solution is applied on the pull stroke only. Use only enough downward pressure on the tool to move it effectively on both the push and pull stroke. Use of excessive downward pressure on the hand tool will decrease the efficiency. CFR CASCADE...

1. Check power cord for any breaks, separations, or cuts. Make sure the ground pin on the connector is intact or the machine will be unsafe. Make sure the ground pin on all three prongs on the connector are intact. 2. It is very important to monitor machine operating hours for proper maintenance of the motors and pumps. After 700 hours of operation or once a year, the vacuum motor brushes should be inspected by an authorized repair center and replaced if worn (length is 1/2 inch or less).When replacing brushes, carefully insert brushes without crimping brush follower spring. 3. Check vacuum motor performance using a vacuum gauge. Place this gauge on the tank inlet fitting with the vacuum turned on. Water lift should be between 120 and 135 inches. If the reading is lower, check for air leaks in the tank, cover gasket, and drain hose. 4. Check pump performance occasionally against built-in pressure gauge. Pump running pressure should be 380-400 p.s.i. When pumping fluid through the tool head, the minimum pressure should be 310-350 p.s.i. If the pumping pressure is outside of this range, check and clean the main filter and the ball filters to ensure the pump is getting enough fluid. After 500 hours, check pressure regulator and pump. If signs of wearing present, rebuild. 7. For extended storage or between uses in cold climates drain the system and flush pump with automobile windshield washer fluid. If the pump is frozen it can be severely damaged. 8. Check main filter for blockage. A blocked filter will cause problems not only to daily operations but to the equipment itself. Once the filter is blocked, rinsing is not enough. Clean the tank and fill with fresh water. Using filter cleaning nozzle assembly with pressure of 400 p.s.i. washes off all debris inside out.
