OPTION - ACCESSORY CLEANING
Cleaning upholstery, stairs or confined areas:
 Prepare the solution / recovery tanks as you would
for normal carpet cleaning.
 Select the correct tool for the job to be performed.
 Remove the quick connect that is attached to the
accessory spray wand hose, by pushing the outer
collar back and pulling on the hose fitting.
 Connect the solution hose, which is part of any of
the accessory kits, push the outer collar back and
insert the hose fitting fully. Release the collar to
secure the hose in place.
 Solution from the solution tank is supplied to this
outlet when the solution pump is "ON", but will only
dispense solution when the trigger of the
upholstery, stair tool or jet wand is squeezed in the
"ON" position.
 Remove vac hose from vac shoe and attach
accessory vac hose cuff to machine vac hose.
Do not apply water more than twice in one area to
prevent excess wetting.
 Over-wetting can damage upholstery and / or
fabric.

MACHINE MAINTENANCE

Routine maintenance is critical to ensure proper
machine operation and cleaning performance.
Perform all maintenance procedures as follows.
Always turn OFF all machine switches before
performing any maintenance.
All the switches, and the brush and vacuum shoe
handle linkages can be accessed by removing the
screws securing the switch control panel to the body.
All motors and pumps located inside the body can be
accessed by the following procedures:
 Locate the mounting studs and nuts for the swivel
casters. Remove only the rear / outer nuts. This
will disconnect the rear of the main body from the
chassis. Disconnect the tool rod, solution hose and
accessory hose.
 Lift the rear of the machine body to tilt forward for
access (the prop rod that holds up the machine, is
under the solution tank).

DAILY MAINTENANCE

At the end of the day empty all liquids from both the
solution and recovery tanks. Rinse both tanks with
clean water to remove debris and prevent chemical
residue build up, to prevent odors from building up;
turn the clear dome sideways; this provides an
opening, to allow the tanks to air dry.
 The solution tank can be emptied by, vacuuming
the residue solution into the recovery tank.
 Remove the vac hose, which is connected to the
vac shoe. Pull the clear solution tank hose down,
and insert it into the vac hose. Turn "ON" the
vacuum motor and suction all of the liquid into the
recovery tank.
 When the solution tank is empty turn the switches
"OFF".
 To empty the recovery tank remove the hose from
the bracket, clamp the hose with your hand and
lower or aim the hose in the direction that you want
the solution to flow.
 Turn the stopper counterclockwise and remove it,
unclamp your hand and allow the solution to drain.
Dispose of the liquids according to your local and
federal government regulations.
 There is a metal screen cartridge on top of the
vacuum tube under the clear dome. Remove any
residue from the screen to ensure proper
operation.
 Store the machine in a dry area.
 Store with brush assembly up.
 Check the drain hose for damage.
 Remove the spray tips (1/4 turn) from the spray bar
and put them in a glass or plastic container with a
solution of 25% vinegar and water overnight to
remove any chemical residue.
 Unplug the machine and inspect the brush
assembly (paying special attention to the ends of
the rollers) for buildup of carpet fibers, hair or other
materials.
 Remove all debris from the brush. Failure to
remove this material could: overload the circuit
breaker, jam and break the belt, obstruct and
damage the bearings, or burn out the brush drive
motor.
Weekly Maintenance (25 Hours)
 Verify all daily and weekly maintenance has been
performed.
 Flush clean solution tank and hoses with a mixture
of 8 ounces (250 milliliters) white vinegar to one-
gallon (4 liter) warm water.
 Pour it into the solution tank, turn the machine
"ON" and operate it to completely clean the tank,
and the spray jets, (running for 30 seconds should
be sufficient). This will remove any chemical
residue. Failure to flush the solution system will
result in poor spray patterns and corroded jet
spray tips.
 Remove and clean the fine mesh filter in the
bottom of the solution tank. This filter is mounted
externally under the solution tank (body). To
remove the screen for cleaning you must twist off
the canister. Remove the filter mesh screen to
rinse out. Replace when completed.
CAUTION If there is any clean solution in the tank it
will drain out at this time. Reassemble and check for
leaks.
 The intake of the vacuum shoe and the vac shoe
must be kept clean and free of any debris or
obstructions such as carpet fibers, to ensure
proper flow of extracted liquids. The rear cover
plate may be removed to allow for a detailed
interior cleaning.
 Repair or replace any worn or damaged
components as needed.
