automatically shut off. A protective ther-
mal switch within the pump is respon-
sible for this. If this should occur, sim-
ply remove the thumb knobs (fig. 19) and
push the top of the engine compartment
cover back a couple of inches. This al-
lows the heat inside the engine compart-
ment to vent, thus decreasing the tem-
perature of the discharge pump.
IMPORTANT: For flood restoration
or work that requires more then 200
feet of hose, and optional dual dis-
charge pump is available. This inter-
nally mounted discharge pump will
increase your pump's flow capability
about 50 to 80 percent. Do not oper-
ate the Steamin Demon in standing
water, ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY
OCCUR.
C. Hose Techniques- The hoses on your
machine provide it with a high volume
of water supply and discharge capabili-
ties. They can also get in your way. Here
are some tried-and-true techniques that
will be helpful to you.
1. Always try to work away from your
hoses.
2. The hose strap (fig. 20) on the handle
allows you to switch the hoses from one
side of the machine to the other.
3. During extraction, keep both your
hands on the handle and work the hose
with your feet (fig. 18).
D. Unhooking & Cleaning the Machine
1. Tilt the machine to the RIGHT (fig.
21) to manually activate the discharge
pump. This will drain the recovery tank.
2. Unplug the electric cord.
3. Clean the Water Filter. To clean the
water filter remove the water filter by
unscrewing the garden hose swivel nut
