time of printing. However because of Breuer’s policy of continual product improvement,

we reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.

This machine was shipped with window washer antifreeze, during the winter months, in

the solution line system to protect the pump and valves from freezing during

transportation and storage. Before you use the unit, rinse the solution line system with

clean water (refer to Protect From Freezing).

To protect your investment, promptly fill out the

required information on the warranty card that

comes with the unit and mail it back to

Tornado Industries

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

•Make sure the machine is plugged into an electrical outlet with the same voltage and

frequency rating as shown on the nameplate of the machine. Do not attempt to plug

a 115 volt machine in a 230 volt outlet.

•Disconnect power cord from the outlet before attempting maintenance or repair

work. Do not leave machine connected to an electrical outlet when unattended.

•Don’t abuse power cord. Never pull the machine by the cord or yank plug from the

receptacle. If this machine is operated on a wet carpet a potential shock hazard can

be caused by a damaged cord. Replace a damaged cord immediately.

•Do not immerse this machine in standing water. Such use can cause electrical

shock.

•Do not use volatile substances such as gasoline or kerosene in the machine, on or

near the surface to be cleaned. The use of such materials could cause an explosion

and fire.

•If an extension cord is necessary, use a 3 conductor grounding cord, 12 gauge wire

to prevent motor burnout, overheating of the wiring.

•To avoid electrical shock, do not expose to rain and store indoors.

WARNING

The machine was designed for use on carpeted floors as per instructions

and recommendations written in this manual. Any deviation from its proper use

or purpose and the consequential damage that may occur is the sole

responsibility of the end user.

•Do not use the machine for dry vacuuming. This machine is not fitted with a dry

filter.

•Use defoamer in the recovery tank at all times to prevent damaging the vacuum

motor.

•Do not use water in excess of 140 degree F (62 degree C).

•Use only commercially available low foaming carpet cleaners and defoamers

intended for machines of this type. Do not use dyes, bleaches, ammonia or other

additives. The use of powdered cleaning solution if not diluted properly many result

in the intake screen clogging or damage to the pump.

•Do not expose machine to freezing temperatures.

•Do not attempt to repair warranted machines. All repairs must be done by a

qualified and authorized repair center. Non warranted repairs will be billed back to

the owner of the unit.

•Do not use any replacement parts except those specified in the parts list.

Unauthorized parts will void the warranty and could cause the unit not to function

properly.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE WARNING INSTRUCTIONS

WILL VOID THE WARRANTY

ELECTRICAL

This machine operates on a standard, 15AMP,115 volt AC circuit and has a grounded

plug.* Make sure the machine is connected to an outlet having the same configuration

as the plug. No ungrounded adapter should be used with this machine.

*Special voltage models available.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk electric shock.

This machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment -grounding conductor and

grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a 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 a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks

like the plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter

illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as

shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter

should be used only until a qualified electrician can install a properly grounded outlet

(sketch A). The green-colored rigid car, 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.

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

Electrical Code.

STRAIN RELIEF

Attaching the strain relief/cord retainer to the 50’ power cord.

1. Make a loop in power cord approximately 12” from

receptacle end.

2. Slide cord loop through slot in retainer and over retainer arm.

Pull slack cord back through slot to secure. Attach retainer to handle.

EXTENSION CORD

If an extension cord is used, the wire size must be at least one size larger, (12-3)

than the power cord on the machine.

REQUIRED CLEANING CHEMICALS

Use only commercial low foam cleaning chemicals that are designed for carpet

extraction.

1. General carpet extraction cleaner added to the solution tank.

2. Traffic lane per-spray usually applied with spray wand.

3. Defoamer only goes into the recovery tank.

CAUTION: Use as directed. Do not over use the cleaning chemicals.

CLEANING TIPS

•Check the condition of the carpeting. If the carpet is loose, heavily soiled, stained,

spotted or badly worn, point this out to the person in charge.

•Locate an inconspicuous spot on the area to be cleaned. Test carpet for

colorfastness before proceeding. Pour the concentrated cleaning solution on the

spot, cover with a white towel and place a heavy object on top to absorb the

cleaning solution. Wait 10 minutes for any reaction to take place. Remove weight.

If there is no color transfer, it should be safe to clean.

•Remove the furniture from the area to be cleaned. Large pieces can be moved to

opposite end of the room from where you start cleaning and replace when it is

completed. After cleaning carpet, place a small square of aluminum foil or 6 mil poly

square under the furniture legs to prevent moisture from damaging the finish or

rusting the metal glides.

•Clean the area first with a Clean-Air Carpetkeeper, upright vacuum. Do not use the

Marathon as a dry vacuum! Heavily soiled carpet or areas of concentrated foot

traffic should be treated with recommended pre-spotting or pre-spray chemicals,

using a hand spray trigger bottle or pump up sprayer. Do not allow any spotter or

pre-spray to dry on the carpet.

•Identify the type of carpet fiber to be cleaned. Most commercial carpet fibers in use

are nylon or acrylic based. Best results in cleaning would be obtained if hot water is

used to clean these types of fibers. On the other hand, hot water could shrink

natural fiber carpeting, like wool and cotton in particular. Exercise caution when

cleaning natural fibers. Use cool water test for colorfastness and apply the least

amount of cleaning solution possible.

•Plan your cleaning route. Always try to have the cord to the right of the Marathon

extractor so you are working away from the cord. Operate the extractor in parallel

passes. Clean the perimeter last. Turn “off” spray switch in turns to conserve

cleaning solution.

•To decrease dry time, go over the carpet without pressing carpet spray switch. To

further decrease the drying time, use the Windshear 3000 Carpet Blower.

•When running the extractor, do not overfill the recovery tank. Do not allow the water

level to rise above the clear dome on top of the recovery tank.

•If the spray jets become clogged, remove the spray bar assembly or the individual

spray tips and soaks them in a mild acid or anti-browning chemical to dissolve

normal alkaline chemical buildup.

•When the extractor runs out of cleaning solution, noted by streaking or incomplete

cleaning, turn off the machine and drain the recovery tank. Refill as needed and

continue cleaning.
