2-7: Chemicals and Cleaning
Rotary Tool: RX-20
Rotary tools are easier to move on the carpet, but harder to control at rst. With a rotary
tool, remember to keep strokes short and side-to-side.
Before turning on the RX-20, adjust the handle; it should rest right below or even with the
bottom of your pants’ front pockets, with the tool resting at on the oor. Take your time
in adjusting the tool’s height; make sure the head of the tool is at with the oor while you
are holding the handle. Relax your posture; the more difcult it is to hold the tool’s head
at on the oor surface, the more quickly you will tire.
While the tool is running, control the left and right movements of the tool by tilting the head
to the front and back, and lifting the handles up and pushing the handles down. The tool
can be driven to the forward and backward by tilting the head of the unit to the left and
right. The head must be turning to use the self driving feature of the tool, and only requires
a slight bit of pressure to handles to get the head to move the tool across the oor.
As with the wand, drying times will be improved if you run a dry pass between wet passes.
Hold down the solution trigger and move the unit left or right across the oor 3 or 4 ft, then
immediately back across the same pass, without the solution owing, to make the dry
pass. Make the next pass half-overlapping the previous pass.
Use the RX-20 in very heavily trafcked areas or if it has been a long time since the carpet
has been cleaned. Beware of the seam edges of carpets and transition edges between
oor surfaces. Use extreme caution when cleaning these areas.
Sometimes it is necessary to use an edge tool or wand to run the perimeter of the room
on in difcult-to-reach areas where the circular head of the rotary units will not reach.
