Example: Quad-jet wand uses four 95015 jets.
(95° spray angle w/ 015 orifice)
015 x 4 = 06
When using two floor tools while cleaning with
your unit, PROCHEM recommends that each tool
tip size does not exceed a total of “.04”.
Example: Quad-jet wand uses four 9501 jets.
01 x 4 = 04…….04 x 2 tools = 08
Upholstery tool jet size: 80015
Stair tool jet size: 9502
STARTING THE UNIT
1. For carpet/upholstery cleaning set the
temperature control on the control panel to the
desired cleaning temperature. The thermostatic
temperature control will allow you to increase or
decrease the solution temperature automatically.
Simply turn the control knob to the desired
temperature setting.
2. For flood extraction operations set temperature
to 50° F. This temperature setting energizes the
rotary solenoid and puts the exhaust diverter in
muffler position.
3. Close the heat bypass valve by turning the
knob clockwise. DO NOT over-tighten.
The heat bypass valve allows you to decrease
the solution temperature manually. Opening the
valve (counter-clockwise) decreases the
temperature by allowing hot water to bypass to
the waste tank.
Before proceeding, be certain that the control panel
indicators are at the following settings:
Engine – IDLE (Throttle Control Out)
Engine Choke – PULL OUT
NOTE: It will not be necessary to pull the choke
out if the engine is already warmed up.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the START position
while holding the water pump switch to the left
(override position). The engine will start. For
cleaning operation turn pump switch clockwise
to “ON” position. For flood extraction operation,
leave switch in off or straight up position.
NOTE: If your unit fails to build water pressure
after 15 seconds, check for adequate water
supply. If necessary, see “Loss of Water Pump
Pressure” in the “Troubleshooting” section of
this manual.
5. After starting the engine, push the choke in.
After the engine has warmed up, push the
throttle into the appropriate engine speed
position for your cleaning extraction operation.
Allow adequate time for the unit to warm up
before beginning the cleaning operation,
approximately 5-15 minutes.
