  • Page 7: Mechanical Safety

    Store, transport, and use this equipment only in temperatures well above freezing. (32ºF or 0ºC). If you suspect the M1200 has been frozen, do not plug in or turn on machine until you are sure it has thawed completely.

  • Page 8: Section 2: Operation Procedures

    SET UP AND OPERATION 1. Electrical Cords: Two 50’ power cords are supplied with the Olympus M1200. Cord #1 powers both vacuum motors; Cord #2 powers the high pressure solution pump and the waste pump. The amperage required by each cord requires that the two cords be plugged into separate circuits: •...

  • Page 9: Water Supply & Chemicals

    16-1/4oz of chemical to each gallon of water.) • The standard tip included with the M1200 is the turquoise tip with a dilution rate of 256:1. This means that for each gallon of water flowing into the machine, 1/2 ounce of chemical will be added.

  • Page 10: Chemical Metering Tips

    How To Change the Metering Tip: • Remove the chemical feed hose from the barb on the side of the proportioning valve. • Unscrew and remove the old tip. • Screw in the proper tip for your chemical tip and place the hose back on the barb Proportioning Valve Turquoise Tip Dilution 256 - 1...

  • Page 11: Water Supply

    Water Supply: • Once the correct metering tip is in place: o Connect the Auto-Fill Water Supply Hose to the water inlet (the male quick-connect on the front of the machine.) o Connect the other end of the hose to a water faucet, and then turn on the water. •...

  • Page 12: Pump Priming

    3. Priming the High-Pressure Pump: Once water is in the solution tank, the high-pressure solution pump must be primed: • There is a prime valve located on the front lower portion of the machine. • Turn on both vacuums and the water pump. Press the priming lever for a few seconds while you block off the vacuum inlet with your hand.

  • Page 13: Solution & Vacuum Hoses

    The other end with the 1-1/2” cuff is connected to the cleaning tool. When ready to begin cleaning, turn both vacuum switches to the ON position. While the M1200 can be operated with only one vacuum for cleaning delicate fabrics, in most situations you will turn both vacuum switches ON.
  • Page 14 The Foam Downer is an attachment that draws a small amount of defoamer in a constant slow flow into the waste tank of Olympus through its vacuum system. We recommend diluting a gallon at 1 to 32 and open the needle nose valve up one half turn as a starting place.

  • Page 15: Pump-Out System

    6. Connection of Pump-out Hose: The pump-out hose is a 50’ section of 3/4” garden hose. • Remove the cap from the pump-out outlet fitting on the back of the machine. • Connect the pump-out hose to the outlet fitting. •...

  • Page 16: Pressure Adjustments

    7. Pressure Adjustment: When the high-pressure solution pump is on and primed, pressure will show on the gauge only while the tool is being sprayed. When the tool is sprayed the gauge will display the pressure being delivered to the tool. When the tool is not being sprayed the gauge will return to zero.

  • Page 17: Shutdown Procedures

    Shutdown Procedures: • If using the auto-fill system, turn the water supply off before finishing each job. This will allow use of the water and chemical already in the tank, and will reduce the amount of excess water to be disposed of later. •...

  • Page 25: Maintenance

    Section Maintenance Proper maintenance is required to keep the M1200 operating properly, prevent downtime and to extend the life of your equipment. WARNING: Disconnect electrical power before performing any service or maintenance inside machine base or before testing or repairing switches or power cords.
  • Page 26 Inside the recovery tank, on top of the stand pipe, is the Vacuum Shutoff Assembly. It functions to prevent debris and water from being sucked into the vacuum motors. Operating the M1200 without the Vacuum Shutoff Assembly or with a poorly maintained assembly will greatly decrease the life of the vacuum motors and will void the warranty.
  • Page 27 A torn filter bag will allow debris past the filter and into the recovery tank. This debris can clog the Waste Pump and the Vacuum Shutoff Assembly. The Hydro-Filter must be examined and cleaned regularly to keep the M1200 functioning properly: • Push the latch lever and open the Hydro-Filter lid.
  • Page 28 CLEAN WASTE PUMP-OUT PUMP: Build-up of fine silt inside the Waste Pump can clog the pump even if the pump is not used, so this maintenance procedure should be performed regardless of whether the Waste Pump has been used. • After cleaning out the recovery tank, remove the cap and connect the Pump-Out hose to the Waste Pump outlet fitting on the back of the machine;...

  • Page 31 LUBRICATE PRESSURE REGULATOR O-RINGS: To maintain consistent adequate pressure delivery to the cleaning tool, the o-rings on the stem of the M1200 pressure regulator must be lubricated regularly. 1. Remove nut from the end of the regulator stem. 2. Remove the black knob from the regulator stem.
  • Page 32 10. Apply thread sealant to the threads of the stem retainer and screw the retainer back into the regulator body. Tighten using wrenches. Screw stem retainer back into Apply thread sealant to stem regulator body retainer 11. Place the regulator back into the opening on the base wall. Reconnect any hoses which were removed to access the regulator.
  • Page 33 CLEAN RECOVERY TANK DRAIN Debris and sand accumulation in the drain valve can damage the valve or prevent it from closing completely. This will result in dirty water leaking from the valve. Use of the Hydro-Filter and regular cleaning of the recovery tank will help prevent this, but occasionally the drain valve will require cleaning or replacement.

  • Page 34: Freeze Protection

    This will assure that the anti-freeze will be drawn into the proportioning valve. 5. Connect any cleaning tools that will be stored with the M1200. Direct tool spray back into the solution tank or into a bucket. Repeat for all tools to be protected.
