GENERAL INFORMATION  
Automatic Suction Shut-Off  
NOTE: Use the vacuum in the upright position. If the cleaner should tip, the automatic suction shut-off turns off the  
suction.  
The automatic suction shut-off functions when the tank is full of liquid. As the tank fills, the ball float (inside the cage) rises until  
it seats itself against the motor inlet. This shuts off the suction causing the motor sound to become higher in pitch. When this  
happens, empty the tank.  
The automatic suction shut-off also functions if the cleaner tips over. To continue use, turn cleaner off and set it upright. Wait a  
few seconds to allow motor to come to a complete stop so the ball drops. Restart the motor.  
Use this vacuum for wet pickup only.

HOW TO USE  
ASSEMBLY  
You will find the drain outlet diverter, a black plastic 45-degree  
elbow inside the machine. Place this elbow on the drain valve  
on the rear of the unit. The elbow will direct the flow of recovered  
water downward.  
• As the tank fills with liquid, the ball float (inside the cage) rises  
until it seats itself against the bottom of the motor.  
• The motor sound becomes a high pitch sound.  
• The shut-off stops the suction.  
• Turn off the power switch.  
• Empty the tank (instructions follow).  
Empty Tank  
CAUTION: Turn off the power switch and unplug electrical cord  
to service.  
• Empty contents into a suitable drain by pulling the T-handle on  
the waste valve. (See page 3.)  
• Use special care when emptying full tanks with liquids. Complete  
opening of the waste valve can result in a sudden rush of  
liquid.  
Fill Solution Tank  
CAUTION: Useonlycommerciallyavailablecarpetandupholstery  
cleaners intended for machine applications.  
Mix hot water and approved extractor detergent in a clean bucket.  
Avoid mixing the chemical and water in the solution tank as the  
chemical does not dissolve completely and will clog your solution tank  
filter. Clogging the filter will starve the pump of fluid and can shorten  
the life of the pump considerably. (Follow recommended mix ratio on  
extraction detergent label.)  
• Close T-handle on the waste valve to continue cleaning.  
Clean and Store  
NOTE: Turn off the power switch and unplug electrical cord  
before cleaning tank.  
• Empty tank of all liquid and thoroughly rinse inside before  
storing.  
NOTE: Do not overfill.  
Connect Power Cord  
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not lay cord  
on any wet surfaces.  
• Attach power cord to extension cord provided.  
• Plug extension cord into outlet.  
• Clean and dry tank and all accessories.  
• Store indoors in a cool, dry area.  
Power Switches  
The power switch is on the handle.  
• Wear ear protection (not provided) if operating the cleaner for a  
prolonged period of time.  
• Turn all three switches on.  
OPTIONAL EXTRACTOR WAND  
ACCESSORY KITS  
ASSEMBLY  
You will hear and feel the brush rotating in the machine.  
Attach Vacuum Hose Coupling  
• Disconnect hose from hose inlet.  
• Push the accessory hose coupling into the hose inlet.  
• Give a slight twist to secure.  
Prime Pump  
• The 100-PSI pump MUST be primed. To achieve this, pour  
enough water into the solution tank to cover the intake filter  
with at least 3 inches of water. With the machine turned on and  
the pump switch in the ON position, press the GREEN button  
between the handles until the air in the line is emptied and the  
jets are spraying evenly. After priming the pump, fill the solution  
tank with your water/solution mix.  
Attach Solution Hose Fitting  
• Make sure the quick disconnects snap together firmly. As you  
do this, always inspect hoses for cracks, fraying or leaks. Do not  
use if hoses are damaged.  
Begin Cleaning  
Begin Cleaning  
• This unit cleans only while pulling backwards. To push, slightly tip  
the front of the unit off the surface of the carpet and roll forward.  
The brush roll should contact the carpet only on the backward  
stroke. To clean an area press the GREEN spray button and pull  
themachinebackwards. Keepunitmovingataslow, steadypace.  
You can go over the area again without pressing the GREEN  
spray button to vacuum up additional solution from the carpet.  
• Turn on the vacuum switch and the pump switch. With the  
cleaning nozzle and hose in hand you may begin cleaning. By  
pulling the solution trigger, you will disperse the solution onto the  
desired area. Because the vacuum is on, the fluid will quickly  
be sucked back into the cleaning nozzle. You will notice that the  
area you have just cleaned will be damp. This is normal.  
You will notice the carpet you just cleaned will be damp. This is  
normal.

in an inconspicuous place before cleaning. Do not leave unit running  
in one spot. Carpet damage could result.
