GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER:

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

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This extractor must be properly grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with 1 or 2 pigtail cords having
an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The pigtails must be inserted into an appropriate 12 gauge 3
prong extension cord.

GROUNDING METHODS

This unit is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a
grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in (Fig. A).

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.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted
by the Canadian Electrical Code.

WARNING
To avoid fire, DO NOT use

combustible liquid to
clean floor.

When using this self contained extractor, basic precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
1)

DO NOT leave unit when plugged in. Unplug from
outlet when not in use and before servicing.

10) DO NOT pick up anything that is smoking or
burning such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

2)

not working properly because it has been dropped,
dropped into water, left outdoors, or damaged in any
way, contact a service center of Powr-Flite®.

5)

6)

liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they
may be present.
15) DO NOT use where oxygen or anesthetics are used.
16) Extension cord must be a three-wire type, 14 guage

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
PRE-OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS for PFX900S
NOTE: (color fastness)

Before using carpet cleaning chemicals, test on an inconspicuous part of the carpet for color fastness.
Place the solution on a small piece of clean white material or tissue, then rub the carpet vigorously. Excessive amounts of dye showing
on the material would indicate that the colors are not fast, and should not be wet cleaned.

1) Fill the solution tank with 9 gallons of warm water.
WARNING: DO NOT overfill.
2) Measure carpet cleaning solution per manufacturers recommended ratio into the clean water tank.
DO NOT use the waste tank to fill the solution
tank as debris could damage the pump or block
the jet. WARNING: DO NOT exceed 150° (65° C)
3) Add defoamer solution per manufacturer’s instructions as needed.

OPERATION OF SELF-CONTAINED CARPET CLEANER
1) Plug main power cable into outlet.
WARNING: This machine must be properly
grounded.
2) Press the Vac switch to the ON position. Then
press the pump switch ON and the brush switch to
the ON position.
3) Lower carpet brush. Push brush lowering pedal
forward to lower brush. Push down and back to
raise bush.
4) Press and hold the solution switch to apply the
cleaning solution. Pull the machine backwards at
the same time to clean the carpet. Stop the solution spray about 12” (30cm) before the end so all of
the solution is vacuumed up. Slightly overlap the
next cleaning pass to prevent streaking. A two (2)
wet pass maximum is recommended to avoid overwetting. After a few passes, check the waste tank to
see that no foam is present. Add extra defoamer if
necessary.
5) Make sure to empty the recovery (top) tank when it
is approximately 3/4 full. Do not refill the solution
tank without emptying all the contents of the recovery tank first.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
STORAGE
WHEN CLEANING IS FINISHED:
1) Connect the drain solution hose (gray hose with
brass connector) to the solution fitting at the front of
the machine and place the other end at drain. Turn
on the PUMP switch. This will pump the remaining
solution into the waste tank for easy drainage.
2)

To disconnect the solution hose, push in on the ring
of the solution filling. Switch off the machine,
remove power plug from the socket, and empty the
waste tank. Leave waste tank open when storing.

3)

Leave brush raised for storage.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
DAILY / INTERVAL

2)
3)

Check the spray jet for blockage and a uniform spray pattern. Remove jet and blow through to clean. Do not use a
pin as this may cause damage to the jet.
Check and remove any debris or lint build-up from the vacuum head, brush, and brush housing.
Always wash out the tanks with clean water after use. To do this, pour clean water into the solution tank and spray
through spray tip to clear chemical residue from the pump, lines, and spray tip. Allow the vacuum to run for a few
minutes after use to aid the machine in drying out and to help prevent bacteria and odors.

WEEKLY
1)

Inspect hoses (unseen blockages sometimes occur), hose cuffs, and the rubber seal on the recovery tank lid. The
main cable, plug, and switches should also be examined for damage.

NOTE: It is advisable to store the unit with the recovery tank lid removed.
CAUTION: THIS UNIT MUST BE PROTECTED FROM FREEZING. Damage from freezing could cause machine to
malfunction.
