INSPECTION UPON DELIVERY
Carefully unpack and inspect the Thermax CP3 and be sure all components
ordered are included. Orders might be packed in more than one box.
NOTE: Contact the carrier immediately regarding any damage incurred during
shipping as it is your responsibility to le a damage claim with the carrier.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1) To prevent the possibility of electrical shock, always unplug the system from
the main power source before physically inspecting or attempting to repair
the system.
2) Inspect system daily, especially when used by someone else. Inspect for
damaged components such as loose wires, frayed cords, missing ground
pin, etc.
3) Only operate system when it is properly grounded. Improper grounding could
result in serious or fatal shock!
4) When operating the system around water, during ood restoration, etc.,
always outt yourself properly with rubber-soled shoes or rubber boots and
do not set system in standing water.
5) To keep from voiding your warranty, use only those cleaning solutions
manufactured by Thermax and never use solvent based products.
6) After use, always thoroughly rinse and clean both recovery and solution
tanks. If using recovery tank to store hoses, or other miscellaneous items,
always clean items before storing them in tanks.
7) Do not operate solution pump dry.
8) Do not store where temperatures drop below freezing, as this may damage
the pump.
9) Always use defoamer in recovery tank to prevent the motor from being
damaged from overfoaming.
10) Extension cord should have a minimum rating of 12/3 (#12 cord). Extension
cord should not exceed 50 feet.
11) Never open up the system when there is water in either the solution or
recovery tank. Remove the solution and waste water rst.

SET-UP PROCEDURE
1) Pre-mix cleaning solution as required for specic application in a three gallon (11.4 liter) pail. Pour pre-mixed solution
through solution ll hole of system (page 3, #2).
NOTE: This system has a built-in maintenance heater for the solution. Start with hot water when possible. Hot water is
hygienic and maximizes cleaning potential.
2) Add appropriate amount of defoamer to the recovery tank (page 3, #3).
3) Connect end of the vacuum hose to the vacuum inlet connector (page 3, #8) and the other end of the vacuum hose to the
tool.
4) Connect male end of the solution hose to female quick-connect coupling (page 3, #6), and female end of solution hose to
the male end of the cleaning wand.
5) With solution tank full and vacuum and solution hoses properly connected, plug main power cord (page 3, #5) into properly
grounded outlet.
NOTE: Plug the cord into an outlet that will be out of the way of the cleaning path, ideally a 20 amp circuit when available.
6) Your system is now ready for operation.
7) Once pre-spray, furniture removal and other carpet preparation is complete, proceed to clean carpet and/or upholstery.
EXTRACTION CLEANING PROCEDURE
1) With solution tank full and all hoses appropriately attached, activate pump switch to the “ON” position (page 3, #9), then
activate the vacuum switch (page 3, #10) to the “ON” position.
2) Start in area of the room opposite from where you want to end.
3) Place wand about 4 feet in front of you.
4) Activate the solution spray trigger of wand.
5) Laying down an even spray of solution, pull the wand back towards you slowly.
6) Release the solution spray trigger and move the wand slowly forward over the same area just cleaned to recover additional
solution left behind. Repeat this process several times depending on the degree of carpet soiling then move over the width
of the wand, overlapping slightly to prevent streaking. For best results, work in approximately 4 foot wide sections and
always be sure to remove as much solution from the carpet as possible as this will minimize drying time.
7) When solution tank is empty and needs relling, shut system down and repeat step 1 of “Set Up Procedure”.
8) Remove, empty and replace recovery tank. (page 3, #3).
NOTE: Always empty and replace recovery tank at the same time you rell the solution tank.
9) Add more defoamer into the recovery tank (step 2 of “Set Up Procedure”).
NOTE: With solution tank full and recovery tank empty, the system is now ready to continue cleaning. Continue the
process until cleaning is complete.

SYSTEM CLEAN-UP
When the carpet cleaning process is complete, it’s time to clean the system. Turn all switches to “OFF” position.
1) Empty solution tank.
a. To empty solution tank of unused solution, turn vacuum switch to “ON” position and pump switch to “OFF” position.
b. With vacuum hose still connected to the inlet and vacuum running, drop the end of the vacuum hose (opposite the end plugged
into the vacuum inlet) down through the solution tank ll hole (page 3, #2) and SLOWLY remove the unused solution from the
solution tank until empty. The system will transfer the solution to the recovery tank for disposal. In the process, the solution
cleans out the inside of the vacuum hose.
NOTE: Take caution to remove the solution SLOWLY! Make sure to rinse solution tank with the plain hot water to minimize
chemical build-up. After rinsing solution tank, transfer rinse water in the same manner mentioned above.
c. Turn off and unplug the system
2) Remove vacuum and solution hose from system. Wipe down all exterior areas of the system.
3) Empty, clean, rinse and dry recovery tank.
4) Your CP3 system is now ready for storage until the next job!
GENERAL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
NOTE: To prevent shock hazard, remember to unplug main power source before inspection or repair of the system.
DAILY (At the conclusion of each work day)
1) Empty, rinse and clean solution & recovery tanks with plain hot water thoroughly cleaning dirt and obstructions from inside the
tanks.
2) Run plain hot water through solution tank and pump to prevent any chemical build-up.
3) Clean vacuum and solution hoses thoroughly.
4) Wipe down all exterior surfaces with an all-purpose type cleaner.
5) Inspect the solution tank lter, recovery tank dome lter and vac motor screen lter for hair and debris. The lters should always
be kept clean and unobstructed.
6) Inspect electrical cord for damage or fraying and repair as necessary.
7) Store unit away from direct sunlight and freezing temperature.
MONTHLY
1) Apply a light coat of vinyl protectant to all exterior surfaces.
2) Lubricate couplings, hinges and wheels with silicone-type spray.
3) Inspect internally for:
a. Loose nuts and/or screws
b. Leaking hoses
c. Loose wiring
d. Anything that doesn’t appear correct
4) Flush the system with 2 cups white vinegar per gallon of hot water solution. Follow by circulating plain hot water through the
system via the solution tank. This helps reduce and neutralize any alkalai and chemical build-up.
