Grounding Instructions
The 120V A/C and the 220V A/C models have been outfitted with the appropriate grounding connector. Make sure the machine is
connected to a grounded outlet having the same configuration as the grounded plug. No adaptor should be used with this machine.
Any modification to the connector will void the warranty.
PREPARING THE MACHINE
IMPORTANT: For all Trusted Clean equipment, use only the correct Trusted Clean high pressure, high heat wands & upholstery tools. They are
designed to deliver and maintain the correct gallons per minute (GPM), pressure (PSI) and heat when attached to the machine’s pump system. Use
of other manufacturer’s wands can cause over-wetting of carpet, damage to the pump system (including hose & fittings), lack of pressure and heat.
1. Pour properly mixed cleaning solution or water into the solution tank using a new or clean bucket. Add defoamer per chemical
manufacturer’s instructions on label. For more information, see warning section in this manual.
2. Slide vacuum hose cuff onto the black hose adapter (located at the top left of the rear of the machine) and then slide the cuff from the other
end of the vacuum hose onto the tool being used.
3. Connect the male end of the solution hose to the wand. Connect the female end to the machine by pulling back the knurled collar on the
female quick disconnect fitting and pushing it onto the male fitting located on the bottom of the rear of the machine, then release the
knurled collar to lock the male into place. You should hear it click fully into place.
4. Make sure the drain valve is closed by pushing the T-handle all the way in. Failure to close a drain valve will result in leaking of dirty
water or loss in suction. Keep the drain valve clean as debris may prevent a proper seal.
5. Upon the first use of the machine or if the machine has been drained completely of water by either spraying or evaporation from lack of
use, you may need to prime the pump to purge the air out of the system in order to get the proper pressure. To do so, see the “Priming the
Pump” section of this manual.
6. If a Power wand is to be used with the machine, connect the male electrical plug coming from the Power wand to the optional power
receptacle on the machine. If your machine is not factory equipped with a power receptacle a Power wand may still be used by plugging the
Power wand’s electrical cord directly into a 3-prong wall outlet using the provided adaptor cord.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNITS WITH OPTIONAL EXTERNAL HEATER INSTALLED:
1. Be sure to fill the solution tank with water before plugging in the machine.
2. Water hookups must be in place and water flowing through the heater prior to turning heater on. Failure to do so may cause internal
component damage and will void the warranty. For more information see Warnings section.
3. Spray water through the tool / wand before turning on the heater to assure that there is water flow.
4. Heater must be filled with water or water based solutions at all times when in use.
5. For units with a 2000W External Heater, plug the heater power cord and machine power cord into separate outlets on separate circuits.
6. Turn off the switch and unplug the heater from outlet when not in use.
7. Do not use heater at more than 500 PSI.
8. Turn on heater switch when you are ready to clean.
CAUTION: When the green light on the heater is on, the heat element is heating the water up to the proper temperature. When the green light is
off, the water in the heater tank is up to temperature and the thermostat switch in the heater has turned the heater off. It will automatically turn
on and off throughout your job to provide the correct temperature.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – CARPET TOOL
1. Turn on the vacuum and solution switches one at a time to prevent an amp surge. Making sure that the wand is evenly positioned on the
carpet, slowly pull it towards you with the solution valve trigger engaged. Then release the trigger while making a forward pass along the
same area. This pass is called a dry pass because it is done with the trigger disengaged thus using only the vacuum (no spray). Now
position your wand head for your next pass and repeat. Do not over-wet carpet. Make overlapping passes to prevent streaking.
2. On heavily soiled carpets, we recommend using a pre-spray solution. You can find the proper chemical for the proper type of stain and
soil by consulting Cleanfreak.
3. When you run out of solution, turn off the machine completely (including the heater if applicable). Attach the drain elbow on the drain
valve. Place a pail under the downspout and pull up the drain valve T-handle. Dirty solution will pour out until the tank is empty. Close
the drain valve. Use a clean bucket when you refill the solution tank. Do not use the bucket that was used for draining to fill the solution
tank.
4. When the job is completed, turn the switches off and disconnect the vacuum and solution hoses from the carpet and the machine. Be
careful of dripping at the time of disconnection as solution may still be in the lines. Drain the recovery tank by following the drain valve
instructions.
