Pacific Steamex TRIUMPH 430 Operating & Maintenance Instructions - Servicing
8.
Release the red button approximately 6 inches before
completing each pass. The spray jets are located be-
hind the vacuum head making it necessary to pull the
machine a few inches further to pick up the last amount
of solution dispensed onto the carpet.
9.
Tilt the machine back on the rear wheels and walk
forward to position the machine along side the previ-
ous pass (slightly overlapping).
10. Asdirty solution is recovered, some foaming may be
noted. Excessive foaming can be counteracted with
liquid defoamer applied according to the chemical manu-
facturing directions. Do not allow foam to rise into or
near the dome; this will harm the vacuum motor. Use
defoamer or empty and flush the recovery tank.
11. To empty the recovery tank, remove the dome assem-
bly and lift the tank out. Dispose of the recovered water
properly.
12. If streaking occurs after a period of operating time, this
means the solution (fresh water) tank is near empty.
Streaking is eliminated by adding more water and chemi-
cal solution to the tank. Empty the recovery tank every
time you fill the solution tank.
13. To empty the solution tank connect the Power Fill adap-
tor to the vacuum inlet on the front of the dome. Turn
the vacuum switch on.
5. Make sure the brush assembly lift lever is locked in the
raised position.
6. Store your machine in a dry, protected area. Do not
expose this machine to rain, standing water or freez-
ing temperatures.
Periodically:
After continuous or repeated use the jets and check valves
will need cleaning: Unplug the cord and empty the recovery
and solution tanks. Tilt the machine backward. Remove the
jet caps, jets and check valves shown in the brush assembly
illustration and soak in white vinegar until visible deposits
are dissolved, then scrub with a soft bristle brush. Note:
jets and check valves should be replaced once a year, be-
cause they tend to erode under extended use. This may
cause overuse of solution and streaking.
After Each Use:
1.
Clean the dome top, intake filter screen, gasket and re-
covery tank with fresh, clean water. Do not reinstall the
dome until the next use, this will allow the recovery tank
to dry out.
2.
Flush the solution tank and inlet screen with clean wa-
ter. Vacuum all water out using the Power Fill adaptor.
3.
Remove any debris on the scrub brush, vacuum head
and around the spray jets.

The TRIUMPH 430 self-contained extractor is designed and
manufactured to provided years of trouble free service with
a minimum of maintenance and service. The following rec-
ommendations are intended to assist the operator and Ser-
vice Technician in performing routine maintenance.
WARNING: Always unplug your machine before per-
forming any service. Severe personal injury could re-
sult if the electrical power is not disconnected.
OPERATING WITH ACCESSORY TOOLS
1.
To use an accessory tool disconnect the supply hose at
the rear of the machine and connect the accessory tool
hose .
2.
Next, disconnect the machine’s vacuum hose from the
front of the dome assembly and connect the accessory
tool vacuum hose to the dome.
3.
Turn the vacuum and accessory pump switches on.
Solution will be dispensed while the accessory tool trig-
ger is depressed.
Watch the dome to make sure the recovery tank does not
overflow.
Note: The pump motor is equipped with an automatic ther-
mal protection device. If the motor overheats for any rea-
son, the thermal protector will activate and automatically
turn the motor off. If this occurs the operator should turn
the manual pump switch to the off position and allow ap-
proximately fifteen minutes for the motor to cool. When the
motor has cooled to a safe operating temperature, the ther-
mal protector will automatically close and allow power to be
supplied to the motor via the manual pump switch. The
operator will be able to resume normal operation. If the
pump motor shuts down repeatedly, it should be checked at
an Authorized Service Center.
