Grounded Outlet Box Adapter Grounded Outlet Box Grounding Blade is Longest of the Three Blades Metal Screw Grounding Tab Figure B Figure A 2 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.

Place this elbow on the drain valve on the front of the unit. The elbow will direct the flow of recovered water downward. HOW TO USE Fill Solution Tank CAUTION: Use only commercially available carpet and upholstery cleaners intended for machine applications. Remove solution tank lid and fill with mixture of water and extraction detergent. (Follow recommended mix ratio on extraction detergent label.) NOTE: Do not overfill. Attach Vacuum Hose Coupling • Push the hose coupling into the hose inlet. • Give a slight twist to secure. 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. 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. Power Switches The power switches are located on the top of the unit. • Wear ear protection (not provided) if operating the cleaner for a prolonged period of time. • Push vacuum switch to turn on. • Push pump switch to turn on. Prime Pump • Take the cleaning nozzle and hold it over a bucket or drain. Pull the solution trigger so that the valve is now open and fluid can start flowing through the machine and hoses. You will notice air coming out first. This is normal. Keep the line open until there is no more air, and solution is flowing steadily. Begin Cleaning • 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 dispense 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. Tips: If used to clean up spills or messes, clean up as much of the spill or mess using paper towels before final cleaning with the cleaner. If used on fine fabrics or upholstery, test for color fastness in an inconspicuous place before cleaning. Automatic Shut-Off NOTE: Always use the wet vacuum cleaner in the upright position. If cleaner tips over, the suction automatically shuts off. If the cleaner tips over: • Turn off both switches and set the cleaner upright. • Wait a few seconds for the motor to come to a complete ...
