Set Up And Operation - Tornado Marathon 2000 Manual De Operaciones Y Mantenimiento

Set Up and Operation:

Your Marathon 2000 is shipped complete and ready for carpet cleaning. This
style of machine is sometimes referred to as a self-contained extractor, since
everything is included in the body of the Marathon 2000 extractor.
1. Install recovery tank cover to the top of the tank and connect the suction hose
to the cover.
2. Important! – Prior to first use: The unit has been tested with window washer
fluid at the factory, and a small amount of this fluid may remain in the system
as a precaution against freezing. Prior to first use, flush the tank and pump
system with a half-gallon of plain water.
3. Open filler door at the front of the tank and fill with hot water. Add liquid
cleaning solution to proper dilution ratio.
4. Use separate buckets to fill and empty extractor. Avoid using un-dissolved
soap or chemicals that could potentially plug the spray jets.
5. Attach a 12-gage extension cord to the pig tail plug on the machine.
WARNING:
To avoid serious injury: Plug into a grounded (earth) outlet only. Do not
use an adapter or remove ground pin on plug. Do not use a damaged cord.
6. Activate the main power switch. The LED light will be lit.
7. Lower the manual release lever and allow the brush assembly to rest on the
floor. The height of the suction nozzle may need to be adjusted using the turn
knob.
8. Activate the vacuum motor switch.
9. Activate the brush motor switch.
10. Activate the spray bar switch. Remember to turn off this switch about 6" from
the end of each cleaning pass.
11. Squeeze the trip lever on the main handle to move the extractor forward. The
machine has a powered transaxle, so forward movement will be quick and
easy. Turn the variable speed control clockwise to increase the forward
speed. Note that the pump or brush will not operate until the machine is in
motion and the spray and brush switches are turned on.
12. As you are cleaning, monitor the water level in the recovery tank cover. An
overflow of water in the recovery tank can damage the vacuum motor. Always
be aware of this water level.
13. The recovery tank can be drained by removing the drain hose from its support
clip and removing the drain plug. The standpipe in the recovery tank is
equipped with a metal screen cap. This cap is accessible by removing the
clear dome on top of the unit. It is recommended that this cap be cleaned
after every machine use.
14. The solution tank has a clear see through drain hose, which tells the operator
the tank level. The water in the solution tank can be drained using this hose.
