5. When system is primed connect female socket of the recirculation hose to male return on
machine and turn on solvent pump – solvent will automatically start to circulate through the
hose & copper coil heat exchanger system, whenever the pump is turned on.
6. Connect solvent exhaust venting hose to vacuum exhaust spigot. Important: only use venting
hose supplied with machine, as high venting temperatures can soften lesser quality hose and in
some cases cause it to collapse. If in doubt as to suitability of venting hose call Ashbys for
technical advice. Always vent solvent fumes outside. Open windows and / or doors for fresh air
ventilation. An Airmover is advisable for clearing any solvent fumes on completion of work.
7. Connect the lightweight solvent vacuum hose to Ninja vacuum intake spigot and other end to
solvent tool.
8. To commence cleaning once the solvent has reached the desired working temperature, switch
on both vacuums (the solvent pump is already switched on – see instruction 5).
9. Commence solvent cleaning procedure.

Emptying after Hot Solvent Extraction Cleaning
1. Switch off vacuums & solvent pump.
2. Drain solvent from recovery tank via black Dump Valve at front of the Ninja.
3. On completion of work residual water in solution tank can be drained by pumping into vacuum
tank using red Pump-Out Hose supplied.
The Pump-Out Hose is a short piece of solution hose with a male connector on one end – this is
connected to the female brass water solution connection on the machine. The other end is open
(no connector) and should be put in the recovery / dirty water tank.
Turn on the pump and where applicable, close the flow control. Allow all the water to empty
from the solution tank.
4. Empty water from recovery tank black Dump Valve & rinse recovery tank through with fresh
water.
5. Open recovery tank lid & run both vacuum motors for approx. 2-3 minutes. This will help to
prolong the life of your vacuum motors by drying them prior to packing away.
6. To drain solvent from re-circulating system, disconnect return hose (small brass female
connector) and attach to Solvent Bleed Hose & place open end in the 5 Ltr solvent container. Lift
out Solvent Intake Hose from container and switch on solvent pump. Run until dry.
