GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

WARNING! Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDING METHODS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. This appliance is for use on a nominal 115-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A.

General Instructions for the PE200 Series

Follow these easy step-by-step instructions to ensure proper operating performance.

1. If you are not pre-spraying the chemical on the carpet, fill up the fresh water solution tank with tap water that is 120°–135° F (49°–57° C) and approved carpet cleaning chemical, following the mixing instructions for the chemical being used, into the solution tank. If using the EZ Fill hose option, remove the hose from the solution tank (Fig. #1) and connect the hose to a water faucet.
2. Attach each of the extension cords to a socket on the back of the unit (Fig. 2) and twist it clockwise to lock each cord in place.
3. Plug the other end of each extension cord into a separate grounded 15-amp wall socket circuit. When this is accomplished, the green indicator light (#1 Fig. 3) will be lit.
4. Attach the hose system to the unit and to your carpet wand.
5. Turn the heater switch (#2 Fig. 3) to the “ON” position.
6. Turn the pump switch (#3 Fig. 3) to the “ON” position.
7. Turn the vacuum switch (#4 Fig. 3) to the “ON” position to begin cleaning.
8. When the recovery tank is full, empty it by using the drain hose on the front of the machine. If a pail is used to empty the recovery tank, do not use the same pail to fill the solution tank, as this can result in putting dirt and grit into the solution line that can plug filters, orifices, and generally degrade the solution line system (do not reuse solution).
9. To empty the solution tank, detach the wand from the end of the vacuum hose and insert the vacuum hose into the solution tank. Turn the vacuum switch to the “ON” position and transfer the solution to the recovery tank and dispose of it as outlined in #8.

Maintenance

Fabric cleaning, both carpet and upholstery, are very dirty environment for any equipment. The following recommendations are offered.

1. Keep the equipment clean, both inside and out.
2. Lubricate brass quick disconnects with a quality lubricant such as WD-40®.
3. Flush solution systems after use with clear, clean water. A white vinegar solution may also be used. This will counteract hard water and alkaline deposits and aid in keeping orifices clean.
4. Do not allow fluid, either in the solution or recovery tank, to sit overnight. The unit should be emptied and cleaned daily.
5. Clean the strainer in the solution tank (Fig. 4) daily.
6. Do not use the same receptacle (pail) to fill the solution tank that has been used to remove wastewater from the recovery tank.
7. When the unit is not in use, leave the tank lids open.
8. At the end of each day, run the vacuum for 3 minutes with the lid open.

Storage of Equipment

1. Store the extractor indoors in a dry area.
2. The recovery and solution tank should be empty and clean when the extractor is not in use.
3. Leave the recovery lid and drain hose open to air out the recovery tank.
4. Do not store in freezing temperatures.
5. A small amount of windshield washer fluid may be left in the pump and internal solution line for protection against freezing.

Warnings

1. Do not break off or pull the grounding prong on the plug.
2. Do not attempt repair on a machine that is under warranty unless instructions to perform it by an authorized shop are obtained from the factory.
3. Do not use citrus-based (D-Limonene) cleaners in this machine.
4. Do not use cleaning chemicals in this machine except those recommended for steam-type extraction equipment. The use of any chemicals with abrasive additives voids the warranty.

6. Do not use water in excess of 140° F (60° C) through the pump system. It could damage the seals and polypropylene casing of the diaphragm pump.
7. Follow the maintenance schedule strictly.
8. Failure to comply with the above warnings and instructions will void the warranty.
