Frequently Asked Questions - RESTORE SC6085B Sanitaire

What to do if the extractor does not turn on?

Check that the power cord is in good condition and the outlet is powered. If the circuit breaker tripped or fuse blew, reset or replace the fuse. Ensure the unit is plugged into a grounded outlet.

Why is there no suction?

Check that the vacuum hose is not kinked or disconnected. Clean the lint filter and ensure the recovery tank is not full. If the float is activated, empty the tank and clean the float cage.

How to clean the lint filter?

Remove the lint filter from the air inlet or suction tank and rinse it with clean water. Let it dry completely before reinstalling. Perform this daily.

Why is the solution not coming out of the jets?

Check that the solution control valve is not blocked and the quick connect is clean. Clean the jets on the extension tube. If the pump diaphragm is punctured, replace it using the repair kit.

What to do if the float activates prematurely?

Clean the float cage and the float itself to remove detergent or dirt residue. Ensure the cage is properly positioned and not deformed. If necessary, gently bend the cage by hand.

How to maintain the unit daily?

Empty the solution and recovery tanks after each use. Rinse the system with clean water or a vinegar solution. Clean the lint filter, float cage, and screen. Leave the suction tank lid open for drying.

Can cleaners other than Sanitaire be used?

It is recommended to use only Sanitaire formulated cleaning products to avoid damaging internal components. Use of citrus-based (D-limonene) or abrasive products voids the warranty.

What is the tank draining procedure?

For the recovery tank, use the drain hose at the front of the unit. For the solution tank, disconnect the extension tube from the vacuum hose, insert the hose into the solution tank, then turn on suction to transfer the solution to the recovery tank. Do not reuse used solution.

How to store the extractor?

Store the unit in a dry, indoor location. Empty and clean the tanks. Leave the recovery lid and drain valve open for air circulation. Avoid freezing temperatures. A small amount of windshield washer fluid can be left in the pump to protect against freezing.

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, Figure A, can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

CAUTION

Do not operate without the filter and ball float valve in place.

1. Turn on the pump (Fig. 4).
2. Turn vacuum switch to the "on" position to begin cleaning (Fig. 5).
3. When recovery tank is full, empty by using drain hose on the front of the machine. If a pail is used to empty the vacuum waste tank, do not use the same pail to fill the solution tank as this can result in putting dirt and grit into the solution line that can plug filters, orifices, and generally degrade the solution line system (do not reuse solution) (Fig. 6).
4. To empty solution tank, detach the wand from the end of the vacuum hose and insert the vacuum hose into the solution tank. Turn the vacuum switch to "on" position and transfer solution to recovery tank (Fig.7). Dispose of solution as outlined in step 6.

2. Lubricate brass quick disconnects with a quality lubricant (Fig. 1).
3. Flush solution systems after use with clear, clean water. (A white vinegar solution of 1 part vinegar to 8 parts water may also be used). This will counter-act hard water and alkaline deposits and aid in keeping orifices clean.
4. Do not allow fluid, either in solution or waste tank, to sit overnight. The unit should be emptied and cleaned daily.
5. Clean the strainer in the solution tank, the float cage and all lint filters in the inlet or vacuum tank daily (Fig. 2).
6. When the unit is not in use, leave the vacuum tank lid open (Fig. 3).
7. At the end of each day, run the vacuum for 3 minutes with lid open and float cage inside tank detached. Make sure to re-attach before next use (Figs. 3 & 4).
