Safety Instructions
WARNING: PLEASE READ AND SAVE! FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING YOUR SPOT EXTRACTOR.
- DO NOT operate this unit if any part of the unit appears to be damaged.
- DO NOT operate if the ground plug is broken.
- DO NOT operate if the unit is in standing water.
- DO NOT use volatile substances or operate where volatile substances exist.
- DO NOT service while unit is running or connected to electricity. Unplug the unit!
- DO NOT use water more than 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
- DO NOT use solvents with this unit.
- DO NOT use as a dry vacuum.
- DO NOT use the unit unless completely assembled.
- Use only liquid detergents. Powders do not fully dissolve and damage the motor.
- Always use defoamer. Foam will suspend moisture particles that damage the motor.
Setup / Prepare Unit for Use
DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN. STORE INDOORS.
- All spot extractors – no matter what the time of year – are shipped with antifreeze in the pump and solution lines. Prior to first use, fill the tank with one quart of warm water. Attach the hose and using the hand tool, flush out the system by spraying the one quart of water through the pump.
- Attach the 1-1/2-inch vacuum hose and the brass quick disconnect.
- Fill the base unit (the recovery tank must be removed) with warm water (less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit). Fill to approximately 4 inches from the top. Use a liquid detergent made for carpet cleaning or upholstery. Read and mix to the dilution ratios as directed.
- DO NOT turn the heater on until the heater is full of water.
- NEVER run the vacuum only with the pump on for more than 3 minutes. Water/solution needs to run through pump at all times to keep the pump cool while in use. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
- Be sure to replace any filters back into the machine prior to use.
- Do not use citrus acid, butanol or harsh degreasers inside the machine.
Vacuum Shut-Off
The 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.
How to Use the 3-Gallon Spotter
- Remove 3-Gallon Spotter from its box.•
- Place on a level surface.
- Open rotating lock on the back of the machine and remove the top tank (recovery tank) from the bottom tank (solution tank). Note: tip tank to allow it to come free from the bottom of the tank.
- Fill the bottom tank with about a quart of water.
- Replace the top tank by tipping the front of the tank to allow it to connect with the bottom tank. Center tank properly and then close rotating lock at back to secure in place.
- Plug the unit into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Attach Solution Hose to Unit: Hold female quick disconnect (female QD) on the hose and slide the collar back on female QD. Slide on to male quick disconnect (male QD) on the machine. Release collar of female QD. You should hear the hose click into place. If you do not hear it click into place, repeat the previous steps.
- Secure vacuum hose securely onto drain spout on the front of the recovery tank. You may have to force the vacuum hose on by turning it back and forth while pushing the hose onto the drain spout. If the tool is not connected to hoses, repeat procedures to attach the tool to hoses.
- Turn on the pump only and depress the trigger on a tool to flush the antifreeze completely from the unit.
- After flushing antifreeze from unit, remove the top tank, fill the bottom tank with desired amount of clean water only (highly recommended), leaving the water level at least 4” from the top. Do not overfill.
- Tip solution tank into the sink or drain if overfilled or to empty tank after use.
- Pre-spray a small section of carpet with carpet cleaning solution. Agitate with a brush. Allow it to dwell a few minutes before extraction begins.
- For a heated unit, turn on the heater for about 3 minutes to preheat the water
- For cold or heated spotters, turn on the pump and depress the trigger on a tool to begin spraying the solution to the carpet. Agitate carpet with the end of tool. Then alternate spraying solution and vacuuming.
- Alternating spraying and vacuuming will allow the heater to keep water at optimal temperature. CAUTION: brass QD’s can get hot. Allow cooling before disconnecting.
- If you are not spraying the solution for more than a few minutes, turn off the heater. Water should remain hot. When you begin to spray the solution again, turn the heater back on. Listen for any changes to the vacuum motors. When the recovery tank fills, the yellow vacuum restrictor slides up-pipe to partially block air. The sound of the motor will be different and this is noticed to shut off the machine completely and empty recovery tank. Failure to stop at this point will void the warranty, as water will be sucked into vacuum motors.
- Remove the top tank from the unit, open hatch on top by unscrewing counter-clockwise to allow air in and tip, and pour recovered solution into a sink, toilet, or drain.•
- Close top hatch by screwing it on clockwise, fill the bottom tank if necessary, reattach top tank to the unit and continue cleaning.
Maintenance
Following Each Use
Remove the vacuum hose from the upper body. Un-clip and rotate the 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.
IMPORTANT! Be sure to thoroughly drain water out of heater lines prior to storage in colder climates. This heater will freeze and possibly crack, voiding your warranty.
Prevent Mineral Deposit Buildup
Vinegar may be used to prevent mineral deposit buildup in your machine’s lines and pump. Failure to do so may clog your lines and pump. Every two weeks, pour vinegar into the solution tank (dilute with 1/2 water). Run the pump, while squeezing your wand or upholstery tool’s trigger until you smell vinegar or notice it coming out of the tool. Let the machine sit overnight, and no longer, with the vinegar in its lines. The next day, flush the machine with 1 gallon of clean water or until you do not smell vinegar any longer.
PLEASE NOTE: If you choose to use CLR, follow the directions on the bottle. DO NOT leave CLR in the machine’s lines. Be sure to flush thoroughly. CLR may corrode the machine’s components and VOID your warranty. If you choose to use vinegar, you MUST dilute with 1/2 water. Failure to do so may damage the machine’s components and VOID your warranty.
Grounding Instructions
DANGER: IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF THE GROUNDING PLUG CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is installed properly and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is grounded properly. DO NOT modify the plug provided. If it will not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This electric equipment is for use on a normal 120-volt circuit. It has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in (Fig A). The use of a temporary adaptor is NOT recommended.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
