Grounding Instructions

THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.

ELECTRICAL:

In the USA this machine operates on a standard 15 amp 115V, 60 hz, A.C. power circuit. The amp, hertz, and voltage are listed on the data label found on each machine. Using voltages above or below those indicated on the data label will cause serious damage to the motors.

EXTENSION CORDS:

If an extension cord is used, the wire size must be at least one size larger than the power cord on the machine, and must be limited to 50 feet (15.5m) in length.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunc- tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance 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 ordi- nances.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug in "Fig. A". A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor in "Fig. C" may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in "Fig. B", if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or wire extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

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.

Operations

Machine Operation

Care must be exercised in the use of all chemicals. Chemicals are poisonous and can pose a health risk. Read and follow manufacturers instructions regarding dangers and correct usages.

The internal parts of the pump used in the machine are suitable for use with most carpet cleaning chemicals. But they are susceptible to chemical attack from some cleaning substances, such as hydrocarbon solvents and chlorinated bleaches. These non-compatible materials are not of the type used for carpet cleaning.

Chemicals

Suitable Chemicals Alkalis

Detergents

Hydroxides

Soaps

Vinegar

Non-Compatible Aldehydes

Aromatics Hydrocarbons

SP Butyls

Carbon Tetrachloride

Clorox*

Chlorinated Bleaches

Chlorinated Hydrocarbons

Lysol*

Methyl Ethel Ketone (MEK)

Perchorethylene (perc)

Phenolics

Trichlorethylene

D-Limonene

*Registered Trademark

Only use chemicals approved for use with this machine. Use of non-compatible chemicals may cause machine damage and will not be covered under the warranty. Carefully read ingredients on manufacturers label before using any product in this machine.

Do not let pump run dry.

Do not let pump run unattended.

12 86343340 PUZZI 50/35

Operations

Pre-Run Inspection

1. Check all fittings and connectors for proper assembly.

2. Check all hoses for leaks. Repair or replace any damaged hoses.

3. Check power cord(s) for any damage. If damaged, replace.

Equipment Set-up

1. Plug power cord from machine into properly grounded wall outlet.

2. Turn vacuum motor switch on and off to make sure there is electrical power at machine.

3. Using a clean container, fill the solution tank with clean hot water. Do not use water over 130F. Mix in a non-foaming cleaning concentrate for use in hot water extraction machines, following the manu- facture's instructions printed on container.

4. Connect priming hose to solution fitting on machine. Turn on pump and run for 30 seconds or until a steady flow of water is coming out of priming hose. Turn off pump and disconnect priming hose.

5. Connect vacuum hose to machine. Slide the swivel cuff over the outlet on the tank.

6. Connect the hose to your machine and wand. Pull back the knurled collar on the quick disconnect coupler and push onto the connection on the chassis. To avoid leaks, check to be that a positive connection was made.

NOTE: When using a powder cleaner, pre-mix with hot water in a clean container before adding to the solution tank.

7. Turn pump and vacuum switch to the on position.

86343340 PUZZI 50/35 13

Operations

Cleaning

Always use defoamer if foaming occurs. Foam will suspend large particles that may damage vacuum as well as allow liquid into the vacuum motor without activating the float shutoff.

1. Prior to cleaning, make certain that the nozzle is functioning properly.

a. To check, hold the wand about one foot above the surface to be cleaned and open the wand valve. A full spray should be observed from the nozzle.

b. If the nozzle is not showing a full spray pattern, adjust nozzle for proper pattern, clean, or replace nozzle.

2. Normally, chemical is applied on the push stroke of the wand when cleaning. Vacuuming is done on the pull stroke. For heavily soiled carpets the wand may be used in a scrubbing manner, applying chemical in both the push and pull stroke.

3. When cleaning, keep the working opening (wand mouth) flat on the surface being cleaned. Keep the wand moving when the valve is open.

4. The shutoff float inside the vacuum tank will impede the vacuum flow when the vacuum tank is full. When this occurs, empty the vacuum tank by opening the dump valve and dispose of the waste in a proper manner.

5. Once the vacuum tank has been emptied, you may once again proceed with cleaning

14 86343340 PUZZI 50/35

Maintenance

Periodic Maintenance

Twice a month, flush a white vinegar solution (one quart vinegar to two gallons of water) or anti-browning solution (mixed as directed) through the machine. This will prevent build-up of alkaline residue in the system.

Periodically inspect all hoses, electrical cables and connections on your machine. Frayed or cracked hoses should be repaired or replaced to eliminate vacuum or solution pressure loss. The electrical cable must be well insulated and cable connector screw kept tight. If the cable insulation is broken or frayed, repair or replace immediately. Don't take chances with electrical fire or shock.

Maintenance

Only qualified maintenance personnel are to perform the following repairs.

Vacuum Motor Replacement

1. Turn off all switches and unplug machine.

2. Remove hardware under front of machine to access component compartment.

3. Remove vacuum motor cover and disconnect motor wires.

4. Remove the vacuum motor.

5. Reverse process to install vacuum motor.

Vacuum Motor Carbon Brushes Replacement

Carbon Brushes

End Cap

WARNING: The green ground wire must be attached for safe operation. See wiring diagram.

If armature commutator is grooved, extremely pitted or not concentric, the motor will need to be replaced or sent to a qualified service center.

Important:

These brushes wear quicker as the length shortens due to increased heat. Spring inside brush housing will damage motor if brushes are allowed to wear away completely.

Periodically check the length of the carbon brushes. Replace both carbon brushes when either is less than 3/8" (9.5mm) long.
