Section 2 Operation Procedures Knowledge of the proper operation of the M1200 is required to ensure user safety and efficient performance of the extractor. SET UP AND OPERATION 1. Electrical Cords: Two 50’ power cords are supplied with the Olympus M1200. Cord #1 powers both vacuum motors; Cord #2 powers the high pressure solution pump and the waste pump. The amperage required by each cord requires that the two cords be plugged into separate circuits: • Cord #1 (right side) will requi

2A. Water Supply & Chemical Mixing– Manual Fill: • Pour up to 12 gallons of hot water into the solution tank at the front of the machine. The water temperature cannot exceed 180 °F. • Measure and add the appropriate amount of the desired liquid chemical to the water in the solution tank. The amount of chemical will vary depending on the type of chemical used, the amount of water in the tank, and the material being cleaned; consult the chemical packaging for specific mixture ratios. • Powde

3. Priming the High-Pressure Pump: Once water is in the solution tank, the high-pressure solution pump must be primed: • There is a prime valve located on the front lower portion of the machine. • Turn on both vacuums and the water pump. Press the priming lever for a few seconds while you block off the vacuum inlet with your hand. The Vacuum will pull solution through the pump and prime valve into the vacuum tank. • Let off the prime valve and your pump is then primed. As long as there i

4. Connection of Solution Hose: Connect the high pressure solution hose to the solution outlet (female quick connect on the front of the machine). Connect the other end of the hose to the male quick connect on the cleaning tool. When you are ready to start cleaning, turn the solution pump switch to the ON position Connect the male end of the HP Solution Hose Assembly to the female solution outlet fitting on HP Solution Hose Assembly – AH79D the machine.

Foam can decrease vacuum lift and eventually ruin the vac motor. The Foam Downer kills foam as waste water enters the machine. It uses a hook to hang a jug of liquid defoamer from your portable. Foam Downer injects defoamer into the vac hose. Your portable suffers no power loss from foam and your motor suffers no damage. • Mounts and is ready to use in seconds • Uses defoamer very economically • NO LABOR is involved to spray or spread defoamer – it’s all automatic • Keeps silicone d

6. Connection of Pump-out Hose: The pump-out hose is a 50’ section of 3/4” garden hose. • Remove the cap from the pump-out outlet fitting on the back of the machine. • Connect the pump-out hose to the outlet fitting. • Place the other end of the hose in a commode or drain connected to the sanitary sewer system. • Secure hose end to prevent movement during pumping. Use defoamer to prevent foam build-up in recovery tank during cleaning and to keep foam/moisture from entering vacuums.

7. Pressure Adjustment: When the high-pressure solution pump is on and primed, pressure will show on the gauge only while the tool is being sprayed. When the tool is sprayed the gauge will display the pressure being delivered to the tool. When the tool is not being sprayed the gauge will return to zero. • To decrease the pressure, turn the black knob on the pressure regulator to the left (counter- clockwise.) • To increase the pressure, turn the black knob on the pressure regulator to the r

Shutdown Procedures: • If using the auto-fill system, turn the water supply off before finishing each job. This will allow use of the water and chemical already in the tank, and will reduce the amount of excess water to be disposed of later. • When finished cleaning, turn off all switches. • If the auto-fill system was used and there is still water in the solution tank, push the float down to release the water inlet hose pressure before disconnecting the hose from the faucet.
