This is an introduction on the use of the Polivac Predator MK II Carpet Extraction unit.
Directions for Use (Please refer to picture as well in next page)

1. Connect 240v extension cable from power source to #1 (Figure 3) power socket on unit.

2. Now connect the Male end of solution hose to Female solution outlet on the front of the unit (FIGURE 1).

3. Connect the Female solution end to the Male fitting on the trigger of the steam cleaning wand (FIGURE 2).

4. Ensure dump valve and booster inlet are closed, if these are not in use.

5. Fill machine with either cold or hot water. We always recommend pre-spraying the carpet

rather than use of Chemical solutions and powders run through the machine, for a number

of reasons, 1st this gives better results as the 2nd when you extract with fresh water, you

chemical has had time to "work" on the carpets, remove more chemical residue which prevents

re-soiling and chemical build up. Finally, it extends the life of your pump, the use of high

alkaline chemicals can cause premature failure not covered by warranty. NEVER USE

FLAMABLE LIQUIDS OR SOLVENTS IN THE STEAMCLEANER

6. The heater switch #2 (Figure 3) can now be selected and as power is

connected the switch will light up RED and this will commence the heater

working.

`

7. Water is now being heated up.

8. Connect the G Vac hose to the domes nose and the other end to the wand end. (FIGURE 1, 2)

9. Change position of the rocker switch #2 (Figure 3) to "Pump" position. Then press pump "Round" #3 (Figure 3) switch and vacuum "Round" #4&5 (Figure 3) switches accordingly. switch on the dirt water pump "Round" switch at the same time (if it has an auto empty unit installed).

10. Dirt water will steadily suck into the machine with vacuum motors working. Once dirt water reaches the optimum level in the recovery tank, whole machine will stop. This optimum level is controlled by a float switch installed in the recovery tank.

11. Customer should push all round buttons to off position and should empty the dirt water tank before bringing the machine back to operations.

12. No need to follow step # 10 for auto carpet extractor, as these varieties will automatically empties the recovery tank using auto empty pump installed in the machine.
13. MK2 & MK3 Auto has a monel screen installed in the recovery tank in order to stop finer dirt goes in the auto empty pump. It is important to clean this monel screen regularly to turn the auto empty function efficiently.

General Maintenance & Troubleshooting Guide
Maintenance
The key to keeping the unit in good working order is general maintenance.
Follow the below procedure for best result with unit.
· Must Empty dirt water and clean water from tanks after each use.
1. Water filter · Clean Monel screen and filter basket
2. Lint deflector · Clean the filter screen if any dirt stuck there as it will affect suction power
3. Oil level · Check oil level of the predator pump. If less, then please fill to half level. Oil of the pump need to be changed every 500 hours for the predator
4. Floor tool · Remove built up Lint from the opening of the wand. · Please change jets of the wands when required (when tips of the jets worn out pressure would drop, and user will notice unusual spray of solution).
5. Vac motors · No maintenance can be done but use Antifoam to prevent chemical and water entering motors and causing faults.
Troubleshooting Fault Remedy
1. No Power to unit · Check power cable and power from source · Check water in the front tank. If full, then machine stops completely
2. Heater not working · Check pump/heater switch is switched to heater and not pump · Check water in the front tank. If full, then machine stops completely
3. Pump not working · Check pump/heater switch is switched to pump and not heater check thermal reset button and depress to engage. · Check water in the back tank. If water is less than the float switch level, then pump does not work
4. No water coming from floor tool · pump is running · Check water level is enough · Check floor tool jets for blockage · Check water tanks filter for blockage · Check hose connection of the solution hose
5. Vac motors not working
· Check both switches are on Glowing Red · Check water in the front tank. If full, then machine stops completely
