All information and specifications printed in the manual and parts list are current at the time of

printing. However because of Breuer’s policy of continual product improvement, we reserve the

right to make changes at any time without notice.

This machine was shipped with window washer antifreeze, during the winter months, in the

solution line system to protect the pump and valves from freezing during transportation and

storage. Before you use the unit, rinse the solution line system with clean water (refer to Protect

From Freezing).

WARRANTY

To protect your investment, promptly fill out the

required information on the warranty card that

comes with the unit and mail it back to

Tornado Industries

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

•Make sure the machine is plugged into an electrical outlet with the same voltage and

frequency rating as shown on the nameplate of the machine. Do not attempt to plug a 115

volt machine in a 230 volt outlet.

•Disconnect power cord from the outlet before attempting maintenance or repair work. Do not

leave machine connected to an electrical outlet when unattended.

•Don’t abuse power cord. Never pull the machine by the cord or yank plug from the

receptacle. If this machine is operated on a wet carpet a potential shock hazard can be

caused by a damaged cord. Replace a damaged cord immediately.

•Do not immerse this machine in standing water. Such use can cause electrical shock.

•Do not use volatile substances such as gasoline or kerosene in the machine, on or near the

surface to be cleaned. The use of such materials could cause an explosion and fire.

•If an extension cord is necessary, use a 3 conductor grounding cord, 12 gauge wire to

prevent motor burnout, overheating of the wiring.

•To avoid electrical shock, do not expose to rain and store indoors.

WARNING

The machine was designed for use on carpeted floors as per instructions

and recommendations written in this manual. Any deviation from its proper use or

purpose and the consequential damage that may occur is the sole responsibility of the

end user.

•Do not use the machine for dry vacuuming. This machine is not fitted with a dry filter.

•Use defoamer in the recovery tank at all times to prevent damaging the vacuum motor.

•Do not use water in excess of 140 degree F (62 degree C).

•Use only commercially available low foaming carpet cleaners and defoamers intended for

machines of this type. Do not use dyes, bleaches, ammonia or other additives. The use of

powdered cleaning solution if not diluted properly many result in the intake screen clogging

or damage to the pump.

•Do not expose machine to freezing temperatures.

•Do not attempt to repair warranted machines. All repairs must be done by a qualified and

authorized repair center. Non warranted repairs will be billed back to the owner of the unit.

•Do not use any replacement parts except those specified in the parts list. Unauthorized

parts will void the warranty and could cause the unit not to function properly.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE WARNING INSTRUCTIONS

WILL VOID THE WARRANTY

ELECTRICAL

This machine operates on a standard, 15AMP,115 volt AC circuit and has a grounded plug.*

Make sure the machine is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No

ungrounded adapter should be used with this machine.

*Special voltage models available.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a

path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk 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.

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.

This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the

plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches

B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a

properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a

qualified electrician can install a properly grounded outlet (sketch A). The green-colored rigid car,

lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a

properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a

metal screw.

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

Electrical Code.

STRAIN RELIEF

Attaching the strain relief/cord retainer to the 50’ power cord.

1. Make a loop in power cord approximately 12” from

receptacle end.

2. Slide cord loop through slot in retainer and over retainer arm.

Pull slack cord back through slot to secure. Attach retainer to handle.

EXTENSION CORD

If an extension cord is used, the wire size must be at least one size larger, (12-3) than the

power cord on the machine.

REQUIRED CLEANING CHEMICALS

Use only commercial low foam cleaning chemicals that are designed for carpet extraction.

1. General carpet extraction cleaner added to the solution tank.

2. Traffic lane per-spray usually applied with spray wand.

3. Defoamer only goes into the recovery tank.

CAUTION: Use as directed. Do not over use the cleaning chemicals.

CLEANING TIPS

•Check the condition of the carpeting. If the carpet is loose, heavily soiled, stained, spotted or

badly worn, point this out to the person in charge.

•Locate an inconspicuous spot on the area to be cleaned. Test carpet for colorfastness

before proceeding. Pour the concentrated cleaning solution on the spot, cover with a white

towel and place a heavy object on top to absorb the cleaning solution. Wait 10 minutes for

any reaction to take place. Remove weight. If there is no color transfer, it should be safe to

clean.

•Remove the furniture from the area to be cleaned. Large pieces can be moved to opposite

end of the room from where you start cleaning and replace when it is completed. After

cleaning carpet, place a small square of aluminum foil or 6 mil poly square under the

furniture legs to prevent moisture from damaging the finish or rusting the metal glides.

•Clean the area first with a Clean-Air Carpetkeeper, upright vacuum. Do not use the

Marathon as a dry vacuum! Heavily soiled carpet or areas of concentrated foot traffic should

be treated with recommended pre-spotting or pre-spray chemicals, using a hand spray

trigger bottle or pump up sprayer. Do not allow any spotter or pre-spray to dry on the carpet.

•Identify the type of carpet fiber to be cleaned. Most commercial carpet fibers in use are

nylon or acrylic based. Best results in cleaning would be obtained if hot water is used to

clean these types of fibers. On the other hand, hot water could shrink natural fiber carpeting,

like wool and cotton in particular. Exercise caution when cleaning natural fibers. Use cool

water test for colorfastness and apply the least amount of cleaning solution possible.

•Plan your cleaning route. Always try to have the cord to the right of the Marathon extractor

so you are working away from the cord. Operate the extractor in parallel passes. Clean the

perimeter last. Turn “off” spray switch in turns to conserve cleaning solution.

•To decrease dry time, go over the carpet without pressing carpet spray switch. To further

decrease the drying time, use the Windshear 3000 Carpet Blower.

•When running the extractor, do not overfill the recovery tank. Do not allow the water level to

rise above the clear dome on top of the recovery tank.

•If the spray jets become clogged, remove the spray bar assembly or the individual spray tips

and soaks them in a mild acid or anti-browning chemical to dissolve normal alkaline chemical

buildup.

•When the extractor runs out of cleaning solution, noted by streaking or incomplete cleaning,

turn off the machine and drain the recovery tank. Refill as needed and continue cleaning.
