MACHINE OPERATION

This machine is very maneuverable and is designed
to clean as you move forwards across the carpet.
Drive the machine to the cleaning site by: Turning
the master switch to "ON", squeeze the dead man
lever, and turn the speed control to get the desired
speed.
Normal Cleaning
 Always vacuum the carpet with a vacuum cleaner
before extraction.
 We recommend you wear clean tennis shoes or
non-slip shoes when working with a carpet
extractor. Street shoes or rubber cushion soled
shoes when wet will release absorbed dirt or
grease onto the wet carpet and cause re-soiling.
 You may need to pre-treat spots and heavy traffic
lanes before extraction. Refer to the "Common
Stains and Cleaning Treatments" chart for
examples of types of stains and the solution used
to treat the stain.
 Test the cleaner on a small; inconspicuous area to
make sure it will not damage the carpet fibers.
 Apply appropriate spotter, following directions on
the container.
 You may apply the pre-treat chemicals in a number
of ways:
 Use a handheld spray bottle. There is room for two
bottles of spotting liquid on the shelf at the back of
the machine. Let the spray sit on the stain for
about five minutes; soak up excess liquids with a
towel.
 Use the accessory spray wand by squeezing the
trigger on the spray wand; this will draw cleaning
solution from the machine's solution tank.
 Do not attempt to pre-spray areas that you will not
over-scrub with the machine within a ten-minute
time span.
To operate the machine:
 Turn the master switch "ON".
 Check the brush and pump for proper operation,
turn both switches to "ON".
 Lower the brush head by moving the left lever to
the left, and releasing it, the brush head will move
into position on the carpet.
 Lower the vacuum shoe to the carpet with the right
lift lever, by moving the lever to the right and
releasing it.
Note: You must lift the vacuum shoe when moving
this machine in reverse.
 Squeeze the dead man lever under the control
handle in order to propel forward and activate the
brush.
 Turn the speed control to propel the machine at the
required speed.
Note: You may also "lockdown" the vacuum shoe to
the carpet for better recovery. From the floating
position, push down on the right lever and lock it
under the notch.
 Plan your work based upon available electrical
outlets.
 Using the bumper wheel, located on the right side
of the machine, align the machine as close to the
wall as possible.
 Start at the electrical outlet to which your machine
is plugged into, clean along the wallboards, away
from your outlet. This helps to avoid running over
the cord during operation.
 It is possible to transverse 75 ft [22.9 m] (the length
of your cord) away from the wall outlet to which
your machine is plugged in.
 Usually, areas closest to the walls are the least
soiled; the speed control can be set at its midpoint,
or turned up to a higher speed.
 The brush shoe and brush head will swing out from
the wall if they get too close to the wall. This
avoids gouging the wallboards or the wall.
 Cross to the other side of the hall or room and work
your way back along the opposite wall for as far as
the length of the cord will allow.
 It is best to allow for a two-inch [5 cm] overlap on
each pass to be sure you have covered all of the
carpet.
 If time allows after you have completed extracting,
turn the spray switch "OFF", then with both the
vacuum switch and brush switches "ON", make
high-speed passes over the carpet. The high-
speed vacuuming of the extracted carpet will
remove excess moisture, speed up the drying time,
and set the pile, leaving a better appearance.
 Empty the recovery tank as needed during
operation.
 Use an air mover dryer to speed up the drying time.
Do not apply water more than twice in one area to
prevent excess wetting.
 Over-wetting can damage the carpet and the
underlying floor.
SPECIAL CLEANING
This machine may be used to perform special
cleaning jobs other than "normal" scrubbing.
Double Scrubbing
This procedure provides deeper cleaning on heavily
soiled floors.
 Double scrub by making a second pass over the
carpet with only the brush turned on. Then, make
a third pass with the solution pump, vacuum and
brush on to remove the most dirt. Make an
additional vacuum pass to dry the carpet as much
as possible.
 The slower the cleaning pass, the more dwell time,
increasing the amount of dirt that is removed from
the carpet.
