CLEANING TIPS
P
RE-TEST:
Pre-test an area so cleaning
problems will not develop during
cleaning or after the carpet is
cleaned. Not all products can be
safely used on all fibers and
dyes.
1. Mix the cleaner you are
using according to directions
and select an inconspiciuous
area, such as a corner,
behind a chair etc.
2. Place approximately 1
teaspoon of the mixed
solution on a spot about the
size of a nickel. Work
solution in with fibers.
3. Press a clean white cotton
cloth against the wet spot
and hold it there for about 10
seconds. Examine cloth to
see if any dye has
transferred.
4. Examine the wet spot
carefully to make sure there
is no color change to the
carpet that did not appear on
the cloth.
PRE-TREAT HEAVILY SOILED
AREA:
Pre-treat heavily soiled carpet or
areas of concentrated foot traffic
with pre-spotting or pre-spray
chemical.
If a spotter is used, follow label
directions exactly. DO NOT allow
to dry on carpet as it may
damage the carpet permanently.
A
FTER CLEANING:
After cleaning the carpet when
replacing the furniture, place a
small square of Styrofoam under
the furniture legs to prevent
moisture from damaging the
finish or rusting metal slides.
FREEZING TEMPERATURE PRE-CAUTIONS
STORAGE OF EXTRACTOR
If it becomes necessary to store or transport the
unit where temperatures could drop below freezing,
32° F, the pump, solution hoses and valve on the
tools must be protected from freezing with a
solution of automotive radiator antifreeze.
1. Mix ½ gallon of water and ½ gallon of
antifreeze in the solution tank. Hook up the
hoses and tools to the extractor.
2. Turn the pump ON and press the valve to let
antifreeze mixture fill the solution line system.
3. Disconnect solution supply hoses and vacuum
out remaining antifreeze from the solution tank.
4. To prevent damage to unit, allow the extractor
to reach room temperature before using. The
antifreeze MUST be flushed out of the solution
system with clean water, otherwise, the carpet
may be damaged.
This extractor should be stored in an upright
position. Objects should not be stored or stacked
on top of unit.
Always store the extractor in a dry, protected area
at temperatures above freezing.
This unit should not be stored in vehicles or areas
where extreme heat or cold occurs.
Disconnect the power cord from the outlet before working on this unit.
CAUTION
Disconnect vacuum hoses from tank cover (dome) before folding the handle onto the
machine. Failure to do so may cause the cover (dome) to crack which may affect the
performance of the machine or even require the cover (dome) to
be replaced.
