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

printing. However because of Tornado’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

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.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

xMake 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.

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

leave machine connected to an electrical outlet when unattended.

xDon’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.

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

xDo 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.

xIf an extension cord is necessary, use a 3 conductor grounding cord, 12-gauge wire to prevent

motor burnout, overheating of the wiring.

xTo 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.

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

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

xDo not use water in excess of 140 degrees F (62 degrees C).

xUse 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 may result in the intake screen clogging or

damage to the pump.

xDo not expose machine to freezing temperatures.

xDo 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.

xDo 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, 15 AMP, 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 tab, 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.

CLEANING TIPS

xCheck 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.

xLocate 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.

xRemove 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.

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

800/1200 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.

xIdentify 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.

xPlan your cleaning route. Always try to have the cord to the right of the Marathon 800/1200

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.

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

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

xWhen running the extractor, do not overfill the recovery tank. Do not allow the water level to rise

above the standpipe intake filter inside the recovery tank.

xIf the spray jets become clogged, remove the individual spray tips and soak them in a mild acid or

anti-browning chemical to dissolve normal alkaline chemical buildup.

xWhen the Marathon 800/1200 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.
