IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This machine is only suitable for commercial use, for example in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops,
and offices other than normal residential housekeeping purposes.
When using any electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
•Do not leave the machine unattended when it is plugged-in. Unplug the unit from the power outlet
when not in use.
•Always use a defoamer when foaming occurs to prevent damage to vacuum motor(s).
•Unplug the machine from the power outlet before cleaning or servicing.
•To avoid electric shock, do not expose to rain or snow. Store, and use, indoors.
•Wear hearing protection if desired. The measured sound level of the TW 1500 H is 79 dB(A).
•Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.
•Use only the manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
•Inspect the power cord regularly for damage, such as cracking, ageing, or damaged insulation.
Replace the power cord with the same type as original if any damage is found. Do not use with
damaged cord or plug.
•Use approved chemicals only. Never use solvents.
•Do not let the pump run dry.
•If the machine is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or flooded with
water, return it to a service center.
•Do not pull the machine by the cord, do not use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull
the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the machine over the cord. Keep the cord away
from heated surfaces. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
•Extension cords must be 12 gauge and no longer than 15 m. Replace the cord or unplug immediately
if the ground prong becomes damaged.
•Never fill the tank with water above 54ºC.
•Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
•Keep loose clothing, hair, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
•Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes, or any
health endangering dusts. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline
or use in areas where they may be present.
•Turn off all controls before unplugging.
•Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
•Liquid ejected at the spray nozzle could be dangerous as a result of its temperature, pressure,or
chemical content.
INSPECTION:
Carefully unpack and inspect your TW 1500 H for shipping damage. Each machine is tested and inspected
before shipping. Any shipping damage incurred is the responsibility of the carrier. You should notify the
carrier immediately if you notice damage to the box or to the machine or parts.
CLEANING SOLUTIONS:
We recommend liquid cleaning chemicals. Powder chemicals may be used, but unless mixed very thoroughly
they could cause a build-up in the pump, lines, heat exchanger and/or quick disconnects. Any problem
caused by a chemical build-up is not covered by warranty. Use a neutral cleaner with a pH between 5 and
10 to avoid premature wear of the pump, seals, and/or other components.
MAINTENANCE:
For optimum performance flush the machine with clear water at the end of each working day. Once a
month, minimum, run a flushing compound through the machine to break up any mineral or chemical build-
up that may have formed. The vacuum motor and the pump do not require any scheduled maintenance;
however, the motor may require replacement brushes after 1000 - 1500 hours. Clean the body with an all-
purpose detergent, and protect it with an automobile interior polish. Lubricate the wheels, castors, and
quick disconnects with an all purpose silicone spray. Refer to the mainenance schedule on page 9.
PARTS AND SERVICE:
Repairs, when required, should be performed by your authorized distributor who maintains an inventory of
original replacement parts and accessories. Call the distributor from whom you purchased this machine if
you need parts and service. Be sure to specify the machine model. Have your serial number at hand.

YOUR MACHINE
Operator Handle (1): Operator holds onto this handle to move the machine from one location to
another.
Solution Tank Lid (2): This lid screws off so the tank can be filled. The solution fill hose is
tethered to the lid, and hangs inside the arm of the Operator Handle.
Maid’s tote and Recovery tank lid (3): This removable container holds often-used items and has a
handle for easy carrying. The recovery tank lid sits under the maid’s tote and covers the opening in the
Recovery Tank. This is where the operator can access the tank to clean it and the ball float cage. The
tank can be flushed out by running clean warm water into this opening and laying the open drain hose into
a bucket or drain.
Recovery Hose (4): Waste water is picked-up through this hose.
Spray Hose (5): This hose delivers water from the machine to the cleaning tool.
Drain Hose (6): This hose is used to empty the recovery tank. NOTE: hold the end of the hose above
the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled flow of waste water when you remove the cap,
then lower the hose slowly to control the rate of discharge.
Quick Disconnect (7): Point of attachment for the Spray Hose (5).
Castors and Wheels (8): Castors pivot for ease of steering, and large back wheels make it easy to roll
the machine from location to location.
Chemical Feed Lines (9): These clear tubes connect the cleaning chemical containers to the machine
where the chemical can be siphoned into the outlet water from the pump. Metering tips -- used to change
the ratio of water to chemical -- are installed here.
Switch Plate (10): The machine’s on/off switches for the vacuum and for the pump are located here
and this is where the valve to change chemical feeds is located.
Power Cord (11): The 25 ft. power cord connects to a power cord pigtail on the rear of the machine.
Chemical Container Holders (12): Two molded-in bottle holders for chemical jugs.

Vacuum Switch (1): turns on the vacuum motor.
Chemical Valve (2): switches between the two chemical containers. When the selector is pointed
straight down, the valve is off and neither chemical is selected. When the selector is pointed directly
towards one or the other symbols, that chemical is selected.
Solution Pump Switch (3): turns on the solution pump.
Quick Connect (4): this is where solution comes out of the machine and the attachment point for
the solution hose.
METERING TIPS
The chemical metering tips allow you to select the ratio of chemical to water, as the water flows out of
the machine. Insert the correct metering tip for the desired mixture into the chemical siphon tube.

METERING TIPS
SET-UP AND USE
1) Insert the appropriate metering tips into the chemical feed lines (see illustration, page 5).
2) Fill the holding tank with warm water (not exceeding 54 °C). Do not add any chemical to the tank.
3) Prepare the area for cleaning by emptying waste receptacles, clearing debris, removing paper
products, blowing out vents, and sweeping floors.
4) Connect the 25 ft power cord to the pig-tail on the rear of the machine.
5) PRIME THE PUMP: Attach the priming hose to the outlet quick disconnect and place the open end
of the hose into the recovery tank. Turn on the pump and let it run until the pump is completely
primed (no visible air in the water stream). Turn the pump off.
NOTE: prime the machine before you place the chemical feed tubes into chemical containers.
6) Disconnect the priming hose and attach the solution hose to the quick disconnect.
7) Attach the spray gun to the other end of the solution line.
8) Place chemicals in the molded-in chemical bottle containers on the rear of the machine. Insert one
of the feed lines into one of the chemical containers. Secure the line by screwing on the cap. The
chemical will feed from which ever container the selector valve on the switch plate is turned towards
and when the gun is used in the low pressure setting. Use chemicals with a pH of between 5 and
10. Never add chemicals to the clean water tank.
9) Set the spray gun to low pressure by sliding the pressure selector forward (low pressure = forward;
high pressure = back).
10) Turn on the pump switch (push button) and spray through the gun for a few seconds to fill the
line with solution.
11) Apply the chemical to the walls and fixtures from the bottom up. Spray the floor last as you work
your way out of the room.
12) Allow the chemical to work for the proper amount of dwell time, according to the chemical
manufacturer’s directions. Agitate heavily soiled areas with a scrub brush.
13) Turn off the chemical injector valve by turning the selector to the down position.
14) Set the spray gun to high pressure and rinse the area from the top down.
15) Connect the vacuum hose, attach the squeegee, and turn on the vacuum (rocker switch).
16) Squeegee off the mirrors, pick up the liquid off the floor with the floor tool. If you have the
optional blow dry hose, use it to dry the fixtures.
17) Drain the recovered water into a utility sink or toilet. NOTE: Keep the top of the drain hose higher
than the water level in the tank to avoid uncontrolled discharge of water when you open the cap
onthe hose.
CAUTION
To avoid vacuum motor damage, always use a defoamer any time foam is present.
Before you turn on the vacuum always make sure the filter screen on the ball float is clean and that the
ball can travel freely.
RE-PRIMING THE PUMP
If the pump looses prime between jobs, follow the instructions to PRIME THE PUMP, above. If that
doesn’t get water flowing, put the priming hose into the vacuum inlet hose barb and cover the rest of
the space around the priming hose with your hand. Turn on the vacuum (with the pump also running)
and let the suction of the vacuum assist in getting water into the pump.

1) Use only approved chemicals at the recommended mix ratios. All chemicals should be
added through the feed system and NOT added directly to the water in the solution
tank to prevent possible damage to the pump, seals, or other components.
2) For optimum performance, flush the Chemical Feed lines after every job by replacing
the chemical containers with containers of clear water and spraying through the gun
until the fluid stream is clear. See the Maintenance Schedule, below.
3) The pump seals and/or valves in the high pressure pumps may need to be replaced
after about 1000 hours of use, if the pump begins to loose performance or to leak.
The pressure regulator valve may need to be when a drop in the spraying pressure at
the tool is apparent.
