Set Up and Operation:
Your Marathon 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 extractor.
1. Install recovery tank cover to the top of the tank and
connect the suction hose to the cover.
2. Open filler door at the front of the tank and fill with hot
water. Add liquid cleaning solution to proper dilution ratio.
Use separate buckets to fill and empty extractor. Avoid
using undissolved soap or chemicals which could
potentially plug the spray jets.
3. 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.
4. Activate the main power switch. NOTE : THE MAIN
POWER SWITCH WILL TURN OFF ALL THE OTHER
CONTROLS ON THE MACHINE
5. 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.
6. Activate the vacuum motor switch.
7. Activate the brush motor switch.
8. Activate the spray bar switch. Remember to turn off this
switch about 6” from the end of each cleaning pass.
9. 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.
