To set up and operate the Jon Don Prospector PE5003 Carpet Cleaning Extractor, follow these steps:
1. Before each use, inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tool for cleanliness and completeness. Make sure the spray nozzles on the cleaning tool are tight and that the ball float in the recovery tank is clean and operational.
2. Close the clear, xxxx -on lid on the recovery tank and xxxx the cap onto the drain hose.
3. Fill the solution tank with clear water. Note that the heater on this machine is designed to provide nearly instant hot water for cleaning. If you use warm water in the solution tank, it would increase heater efficiency. Never use water above 120F or 49C in the solution tank.
4. Turn off all the switches. Plug the power cords into properly grounded outlets. Do not connect both cords to the same outlet.
5. Connect the priming hose (included) to the outlet quick disconnect (QD).
6. Turn the pump ON and let water flow through the priming hose until it is a clear flow with no air bubbles visible.
7. Turn off the pump switch and disconnect the priming hose. Connect the solution and vacuum hoses to the machine and tool.
8. Turn the heat switch ON and wait two minutes for the heater to reach operating temperature. If you choose to add a detergent to the solution tank, be sure to mix it well and always follow the use and dilution instructions on the chemical label. Use a chemical with a pH between 5 and 10 to reduce the likelihood of premature wear to the pump and other seals.
9. Spray through your cleaning tool as you adjust the pressure regulator xxxx on the front of the machine to achieve the desired spraying pressure.
10. Turn on the vacuum.
11. Begin cleaning, following industry-accepted practices. Use defoamer any time foaming occurs in the recovery tank to prevent damage to the motor or other components. Foam will not lift the ball float.
12. Monitor the water level in the solution tank and do not let the pump run dry.
13. When the solution tank gets low, turn off the pump and vacuum, fill the solution tank, and empty and clean the recovery tank.
14. When finished with the job, remove any unused solution from the solution tank and run a few gallons of clean water through the system. Drain the recovery tank by opening the drain hose over a drain or a bucket. Release any residual pressure from the cleaning tool before disconnecting the hoses from the cleaning tool.
Note: The machine has an auto vacuum shut-off feature. When the recovery tank is full, the ball float will shut off the suction to prevent the machine from overflowing. Always use defoamer to prevent overflow.
Note: The heater holds a small amount of water, so to maintain hot water for the entire cleaning job, spray for short periods and then stop spraying during a recovery stroke. Continuous spraying will prevent the water from pausing long enough in the heater to get hot.
