120 VOLT, 50/60 CYCLE MACHINES

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or

breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance

for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This

product 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.

WARNING: Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of elec-

tric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service

person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is prop-

erly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the

product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-

stalled by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has

a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug

illustrated in Fig. 1. Make sure that the product is connected

to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No

adaptor should be used with this product.

For maximum protection against electric shock, use a circuit

that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. The

green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the

ground wire. Never connect this wire to any terminal other

than the ground terminal.

WARNING: To prevent possible electric shock, pro-

tect the machine from rain. Keep the

machine in a dry building.

WARNING: To prevent possible electric shock, al-

waysuse a3-wire electrical system con-

nected to the electrical ground. For

maximum protection against electrical

shock, use a circuit that is protected by

a ground fault circuit interrupter. Con-

sult your electrical contractor.

WARNING: Do not cut, remove or break the ground

pin. If the outlet does not fit the plug,

consult your electrical contractor.

WARNING: Have worn, cut, or damaged cords and

plugs replaced by an authorized service

person.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only an approved extension cord with three conductors, a

plug with three terminals, and a connector body with three

holes. The machine has a power cord with wire size 14 AWG

(AWG means American Wire Gauge).

WARNING: If you use an extension cord, use an

extension cord with minimum wire

size 14 AWG. Do not use an exten-

sion cord longer than 50 feet. Do

not join two extension cords.

HOW TO PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION

THECONTROLS

The Vacuum/Accessory/Pump Switch

This switch is located on the handle. To turn the

vacuum motor on, place the switch in the middle

position. To turn pump, brush, and vacuum motor on,

place the switch in bottom position. (Figure 2, #1)

The Vacuum Hose Connector

The vacuum hose connector is on the right hand rear

of the machine. (Figure 2, #2)

The Solution Hose Connector

The solution hose connector is located on the bottom

center of the machine. This connection is used to

hook up optional auxiliary floor tools. (Figure 2, #3)

Recovery Tank Drain

Remove hose from rear of machine. Using the handle

lift the recovery tank free and and pour water into

drain.

Solution Tank Drain

Remove the hose from the rear of the machine. Place

over drain.

WARNING: This machine has moving parts.

To reduce the risk of injury,unplug

before servicing.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, use only

commercially available floor clean-

ersandwaxes intended for machine

application.

WARNING: Do not use water that is hotter than

140°F.

WARNING: Operating a machine thatisnotcom-

pletely or fully assembled could re-

sult in injury or property damage.

Do not operate this machine unless

it is completely assembled. Inspect

themachinecarefully before operat-

ing.

This machine is intended for commercial use.

To preparethe machineforoperation,followthis

procedure:

1. Before moving the extractor onto the carpet, put

clean hot water into the solution tank. The solution

tank capacity is approximately four gallons.

2. Add two to ten ounces of "Clarkare®Extractor

concentrate"perevery onegallon of water, depend-

ingon carpetcondition.

3. If the extractor removes an excess amount of foam

from the carpet, add a defoamer such as Clarkare®

Defoamer Concentrate to the recovery tank. The

amountneeded willchange accordingtothe

amountof detergentalready inthe carpet.

CAUTION: Do not leave the extractor or

other cleaning machines or

tools on the carpet when not in

use. Cleaning solution in the

machines and tools can leak

onto the carpet and cause light

spots or stains.

NOTE: Toorder Clarkare®ExtractorConcentrate,

OrderPartNo.398421. Toorder Clarkare®

Defoamer,order PartNo.398420.For instructions

forpreparation andoperation ofyour floor tool,

readtheoperator's manual

supplied with your floor tool.

Figure 2

Page 8 Clarke®Operator's Manual - Image 14

CAUTION: The recovery tank is equipped

with a mechanical shut-off float

switch. When the recovery tank

becomes full the machine will

no longer recover water. Turn

the vacuum/accessory and

spray/brush/switch to the "O"

positionbefore emptying the re-

coverytank.

NOTE:When using the extractor to clean carpets,

followthis procedure:

1. Do not walk on freshly cleaned carpets for at

least four hours or until the carpet is dry to

touch.

2. If aluminum or plastic pieces have been placed

under the legs of furniture, do not

remove them until the carpet is dry.

3. Do not allow children or pets to crawl or walk

aroundon thedamp carpet.

4. Vacuum right after the carpet is dry and then

vacuum the carpet once a week, or as often as

needed.

To clean an area of carpet,follow this procedure:

(SeeFigure3)

1. DryVacuum area of carpet to be cleaned.

2. Turn theVacuum switch to the "ON" position.

3. Brush will self adjust.

NOTE: Incorrect brush height may cause

circuit breaker to trip. Check for obstructions in

brushhousing ,clear andproceed.

4. With the pump switch activated, slowly and

steadily pull the machine backwards.

5. Switch to Pump "OFF" and vacuum an addi-

tional 6 inches.

6. To clean a small area of carpet, clean the carpet

in sections three feet square. As you make

additional passes, overlap one inch of the area

alreadycleaned.

7. Cleaning speed is determined by how dirty the

carpet is. If the carpet is very dirty, move the

machineslower.

8. As the machine is used, dirty solution will begin

to fill the recovery tank. When the solution tank

is empty, the recovery tank must be emptied.

How to Empty the RecoveryTank

To empty the recovery tank, follow this procedure:

1. Turn the switches on the machine to the "O" posi-

tion.

2. Remove the hose on the rear of the recovery tank.

Lift recovery tank by handle and carry to drain.

3. Usingdrain spout,pour intodrain.

drain.

To clean a larger area of carpet, follow this procedure:

(SeeFigure4)

1. Begin at the right-hand corner of the carpet.

2. Make a pass halfway along the edge of the carpet.

Pull the machine backward at a steady speed.

3. Move to the edge of the carpet. Make another pass

next to your first pass.

4. As you make more passes, overlap one inch of the

area already cleaned. Make each pass four inches

different in length to prevent making a line in the

center of the carpet.

5. Make more passes until half of the carpet is

cleaned.

6. Move to the right hand corner of the carpet not yet

cleaned.

7. Make a pass halfway along the edge of the carpet.

8. As you make passes, overlap one inch of the area

alreadycleaned.

9. Make more passes until all of the room is cleaned.

CAUTION: Clarke will not be held liable for dam-

age to the carpet, or poor results be-

cause of the operator's lack of ability.
