12 Gallon Extractor
Dear Customer:
Congratulations on the purchase of your new 12 Gallon Extractor.
Like any other piece of machinery or technology, extractors require the
proper maintenance and care to keep the product working over extended
use. Neglecting your machine, abusing it or not operating it properly can
void its warranty and prevent the machine from performing to the quality
and standard you’d expect.
If you have any warranty concerns or questions, please review this manual
thoroughly or do not hesitate to contact your distributor. If there are
questions regarding maintenance, replacement or ordering parts please
contact an authorized Service Center.
Before using your extractor, please read this manually thoroughly.
120 Volt Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break-down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock. This
machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor
and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not remove ground pin; if missing, replace plug before use.
Improper installation of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. Be sure to check with a qualified electrician
or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the plug will not fit in the outlet do not modify either the
plug or the machine’s cord, instead have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified technician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and with a grounding
plug similar to the one in Figure 1 below. If a proper outlet is not available,
follow the illustrations of Figure 2 & 3 to install a temporary-grounding
plug. This temporary work-around should be used only until a proper
outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician. When and if
this type of adapter is employed, screw the adapter’s extended tab into
place with a metal screw. However, grounding adapters are not approved
for use in Canada. Again, be sure to check the grounding pin for damages
and replace if necessary. The Green, or Green-Yellow, wire in the cord is
the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to
only the grounding pin.
220-240 Volt Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break-down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock. This machine is
equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not remove ground pin; if
missing, replace plug before use.
Improper installation of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. Be sure to check with a qualified electrician
or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the plug will not fit in the outlet have a qualified electrician or
service person install the proper plug on to the cord.
This machine is for use on a nominal 220-240 volt circuit with a grounding plug
similar to the one in Figure C shown below. Changes to the attachment plug or
use of adaptors to other plugs must be done in accordance with local
regulations.
Parts and Service
Please contact service personnel or authorized Service Center using
original replacement parts and accessories for repairs. When calling
for support please have your Model and Serial Number available
for faster assistance.
Name Plate
The Model and Serial Number are located on the lower half of the back
of the machine near the power plugs and will be required for ordering
replacement parts.
Unpacking the Machine
When your new machine is delivered, please carefully inspect both the
shipping carton and the machine for damages. If damage is evident,
save both the shipping carton and the machine for inspection by the
shipping company. Contact the carrier immediately to file a freight claim
if there is damage.

12 Gallon Extractor
Operating Instructions
1. Fill the solution tank.
2. Attach female end of a solution hose to a wand or other tool and the
male end to the Extractor’s Quick Disconnect (QD).
3. Plug in power cords: Extractor Model: Using two separate
circuits/breakers, plug in the grounded power cables as previously
instructed using the appropriate grounding techniques. The amber
indicator to the left of the PSI gauge will illuminate and sound a tone
when plugged into separate circuits/breakers.
i. Activate the switches using the following steps:
ii. When the hoses are attached, turn Pump-Out Switch.
iii. (500psi only)The Prime Valve and Pressure Regulator are located on
the front right side of the solution tank and should be primed prior to
use. To prime the pump turn the valve to the Prime position for 30
seconds, and then turn horizontally to the Run position.
iv. Pull your wand’s trigger to ensure water is running through the lines
to avoid damage to the Pump and Heating unit (Extractor).
5. If the heater is to be used, prime the system first. Turn on the heater
switch and allow it to heat up for 5 minutes
6. To clean, make two dry passes for every one wet pass while working
away from the power cords. For optimal use or heavily soiled areas,
repeat wash steps in the opposite direction.
7. To prevent motor or internal damage, use a foam control solution in
the recovery tank. Remember to check for build-up in both the recovery
and solution tanks!
8. Empty the Recovery Tank when the internal shut off disengages the
vacuum. Attach the 45º drain elbow to the drain spout located in the
back and lift the dump valve to empty the tank.
9. Squeeze the wand or tool’s trigger for five seconds after turning the
power switches off to relieve any existing line pressure.
10. When the machine is off: unplug the power cables, remove
solution and vacuum hoses, and empty the recovery tank by
attaching the 45º drain elbow.
11. To empty the solution tank, twist off the solution tank drain cap located
on the back of the machine after use.
Machine Storage
1. Before storing the machine, drain, rinse and dry both the tanks and
vacuum hoses of any residual water or solution.
2. Store standing upright in a dry, enclosed location.
3. Leave the recovery tank lid open for better air circulation.
4. If storing in freezing temperatures, take extra precautions to make sure
the machine and solution systems are completely drained and dry.

12 Gallon Extractor
Maintenance Schedule
Latches are located in the back to open the tank for internal maintenance.
To keep machine in good working condition, follow the below
recommended daily and weekly maintenance procedures. Relief valves
should be replaced annually.
Filter Maintenance
All Extractor models have four filters that need to be checked and cleaned
after each week of use. Regular filter maintenance is a simple way to
extend the life of your machines.

stack has one foam filter to help prevent waste material from getting into
the vacuums and cause damage. To maintain these filters:
1. Remove the recovery tank lid.
2. Reach in and pull out the two black filters located in the top of
the vacuum stacks.
3. Clean the filters under a faucet of any debris and check for damage.
If the filters are not damaged, place them back in the stacks. If filters
are damaged and falling apart, replace them.
Pump Filters
The filter is a half-circle shaped screen located on the inside bottom
of the solution tank. To maintain filter:
1. Open solution tank lid.
2. Reach into solution tank and rotate the dome-shaped filter from
its brass nipple by rotating it counter clockwise.
3. Check filter for any debris or damage to screen. Rinse filter of
any debris or replace if damaged.
4. Place new or cleaned filter back onto brass nipple by
rotating it clockwise.
(Additional inline filter inside the machine)
Inline Pump Filter (additional Instructions)
1. Remove the screw that holds the solution tank and the base together
from the front of the machine.
2. Locate the inline filter on the clear solution hose, from the solution
tank to the pump. Take off the clear housing of the filter by turning
it counter clockwise
3. Check filter for any debris or damage to screen. Rinse filter of
any debris or replace if damaged.
4. Place new or cleaned filter back into housing and install housing back
into base by rotating it.
Trouble Shooting
There is no power.
1. Plug power cord(s) in proper outlet(s).
2. If using two cords, make sure each is plugged into a separate circuit.
3. Check circuit breaker and reset if tripped. There should not be any
additional items in use on the same circuit as the machine.
