GENERAL INFORMATION
The Cleanco Compact Truckmount has been designed
for the professional cleaner who demands a high
performance cleaning unit. Dependable performance is
the guiding principal in the design and construction of
the Cleanco Compact. Although the Cleanco Compacts
are designed with simplicity in mind, this truckmounted
carpet cleaning plant has many functions that perform
simultaneously.
Engine has to run at a continuous RPM. (Van
Engine 1450 RPM)
High Pressure water pump provides steady pressure
at the proper flow for cleaning.
Vacuum Blower has to pull air and soiled water back
from the site.
Cleaning solution has to be injected into the water
flow at the right concentration.
Heating system must deliver and maintain proper
heat.
The vacuum recovery tank stores soiled water for
proper disposal.
This manual contains operation instructions as well as
information required for proper maintenance,
adjustments, and repair of this unit. To assist with proper
diagnosis of a problem, a general troubleshooting has
been included for your convenience.
LOCAL WATER CONDITIONS
The quality of water varies greatly throughout North
America. This can influence the reliability and efficiency
of your equipment. Many areas have an excess of
minerals in the water, which results in what is known as
hard water. These minerals tend to adhere to the inside
of heat exchangers and other parts of the machines
causing damage and loss of cleaning effectiveness.
Cleaning effectiveness and equipment life is increased
when water softeners are used in hard water areas. The
low cost of water softeners is more than made up for by
the increased life of machine parts and cleaning
efficiency.
WASTE WATER DISPOSAL
There are laws throughout North America that prohibit
the dumping of soiled water from carpet cleaning
equipment in any place but a sanitary treatment system.
The water recovered into your unit’s recovery tank
contains materials such as detergent residue and many
different soil contaminants removed from the carpet you
have cleaned. These materials must be processed
before they are safe to re-enter our streams, rivers and
reservoirs.
AS PER FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS, DO
NOT DISPOSE OF WASTE WATER INTO STORM
DRAINS, GUTTERS, STREAMS, RESERVOIRS, ETC.
CLEANING SOLUTIONS & CLEANING
Your Cleanco Compact has been designed with the
latest technology to produce the highest quality cleaning
results possible. However it is only one of many tools of
the carpet cleaning trade, and can produce only as good
as the person operating it. There are no short cuts to
quality. It takes time, cleaning knowledge, and the
proper use of quality cleaning solutions.
Cleanco recommends Esteam Cleaning Systems brand
name for use in your Cleanco Compact. Also be sure to
follow directions of all cleaning solutions, to obtain
quality results and for safety. The improper use of
cleaning solutions in your Cleanco Compact can cause
serious damage to the plumbing system, high-pressure
pump, and heat exchangers. (Cleanco does not
recommend running products through your unit such as
solvents, or grease removers with a high concentration
of solvents).
Cleanco endorses the IICRC Standards for Carpet
Cleaning, which outlines proper cleaning procedures for
all types of carpet and all kinds of cleaning systems. We
encourage Cleanco owners to acquire a copy of these
standards from your distributor and make yourself
familiar with them. In brief, the standards specify that all
carpet must be dry vacuumed, preconditioned, rinsed,
and dried, in order to be properly cleaned.
CLEANING WAND PROCEDURE
To have a quality cleaning result, correct wand
movement is of the utmost importance. Failure to take
time and extra care can result in an unhappy client.
Always move the cleaning wand in a smooth forward
and backward motion. Apply slight pressure on the
forward stroke while injecting cleaning solution onto the
carpet. Then on the backstroke towards yourself again
apply slight pressure on the wand and inject and vacuum
cleaning solution. Continue this method over-lapping
each forward and backstroke, for about a three to four
foot square area. Once the three square foot area has
been completed, return back over the same area-
utilizing vacuum only. Moving across then clean and
vacuum the next three to four square feet and again
