PREPARE UNIT FOR USE – CONTINUED
Vacuum Shut-Off
The Carpet Spot Extractor is designed with a vacuum restrictor to reduce the
vacuum when the recovery tank is full. When the vacuum is restricted, the liquid
will not travel up the nozzle of the hand tool. The motor speeds up (the sound of
the motor will change) and this is your warning to dispose of recovered solution.
The restrictor is a foam float that slides up and down the vacuum tube in the
recovery tank as shown in the photo on the right.
Following Each Use
Remove the vacuum hose from the upper body, unclip,
rotate latch on the back of the unit and remove the upper
section of the spotter. Dispose of the used solution by
pouring the solution out of the vacuum inlet (not the hatch
cover) into the toilet or janitor's closet sink.
Extractor will not run:
1. Check power connection. Move the grounded plug to an outlet that is working. Verify that
the plug is working by plugging it into another electrical component, such as a lamp, hair
dryer or drill.
2. Inspect the power cord for damage and replace if damage is found.
Loss of vacuum:
1. Make sure the float is at the bottom of the unit. Open the screw cap and push the float down.
2. Check that the hose cuff is securely attached to the front of the spotter.
Loss of solution pressure:
1. Verify that the pump is on.
2. Remove jet from end of hand tool and press trigger on wand.
3. Clean the solution intake in the solution tank.
4. Check the quick-disconnect for debris.
5. If the pump is still not working, contact your dealer.
