Before Operating the Machine
Operators and maintenance personnel must read and understand this manual before attempting to
operate the unit. This manual has important information for use and safe operation. Keep this manual on
file and readily available.
Unpacking & Inspection
Carefully unpack and inspect the compact extractor for shipping damage. Each unit is inspected and
operated at the factory prior to shipping. Any damage should be reported to the carrier / supplier
immediately.
Set Up & Operation
Water Extraction Cleaning
Filling the Ninja with Cleaning Solution
Fill solution tank with the amount of water required – if you’d like to clean with hot water and you have
access to hot water, fill with this. Always use dedicated clean water bucket(s) as any grit introduced WILL
damage the pump head. There is a low water level safety cut-off in your solution tank and you will need
to ensure you have enough water to cover this before your heating system will operate.
Important:If your Ninja is fitted with a 400psi pump system, we strongly recommend the use of LIQUID
detergent (NOT powdered detergent), in your solution tank. Any un-dissolved powdered detergent (or
grit) will damage your pump head. We recommend the following liquid detergents which have been
specifically developed for use with these pump systems –
PC7735 Ashbys Premium Extraction Liquid 5 Ltr – for all standard and heavy duty carpet cleaning.
PC7736 Ashbys Liquid Extraction Cleaner 5 Ltr – for delicate carpets, upholstery and rugs.
- Both products can be ordered from our web site www.ashbys-uk.com. Type the product code (PC****)
into the search bar on our site, to navigate to each product.
For best life from 400, 600 or 800 psi pump systems, we recommend using this liquid detergent only in
the solution tank and applying all other products try either a pre-spray (before cleaning) or post-spray
(after cleaning). These include pre-spotters, stain removers, acidic rinse / acid products or deodorizer.
Defoamer should only be used by pouring into recovery (vacuum) tank.
3 KwAdjustable Tank Heater System (if fitted)
1. Plug-in black Heater Lead in to a 13 amp 240 Volt socket - ensure that it is on a RCD protected
supply.
Important:When using any electrical equipment at customer’s premises, you should have a plug-
in 13 amp RCD on each power lead. In the event of a fault, an unearthed or non-RCD protected
power supply can cause injury or death. Do not use an extension lead with double plug ability, to
