PREPARING THE MACHINE
SOLUTION TANK
To Fill the Solution Tank:
1 Lift the recovery (top) tank off the machine.
2 Read the dilution instructions on the chemical container. Then
figure the proper amount of chemical to mix with 7 gallons (26.5
liters) of water.
3 Pour the chemical in the solution tank and fill the tank the rest of
the way with warm water.
4 Put the recovery tank on the machine.
5 Put the cover on the recovery tank.
The recovery tank may be used (like a bucket) to carry water for the
solution tank. Rinse all dirt from the recovery tank before filling it with
clean water for the solution tank.
PRE-SPRAYING CARPET
Pre-spray spots and traffic lanes before extracting. Use a hand-held
bottle sprayer or a pressurized “Hudson” type sprayer. Mix the pre-spray
according to the chemical manufacturers directions. For best results,
use an Kent CarpeTeam pre-spray chemical specially formulated for
Kent carpet extractors.
PLAN FOR CLEANING
Before you begin extracting, look at the area to be cleaned and plan your
work. Divide the space into sections. Work away from where you plug in
the electrical cable. Overlap each pass 2 inches (5 cm).
OPERATION
1 Fill the solution tank with the proper dilution of warm water and
extractor chemical.
2 Unwrap the Power Cord and plug it into a properly grounded
outlet.
3 Turn the Master Switch ON.
4 Turn the Brush Switch ON.
5 Lower the Handle.
6 Turn the Brush Height Adjustment Knob until the machine just
begins to move backward. Do not set the brush too low as this
will cause the circuit breaker to trip. If the circuit breaker does
trip, wait 5 minutes for it to cool, then push the button in to reset
it.
7 Push down on the Handle and move the machine (on its rear set
of wheels) to its starting position.
8 Pull the machine back slowly, dispensing solution as you go.
Pick up all of the solution on each pass.
9 Watch the fluid entering the recovery tank. If there is a large
amount of suds in the recovery tank, add a defoamer chemical
to the recovery tank.
CAUTION!
Empty the tank before the fluid or foam enters the right tube on the
recovery tank cover.
USING ATTACHMENTS
To use accessory tools, attach the accessory vacuum hose to the left
tube on the recovery tank cover. Attach the accessory solution hose to
the quick disconnect fitting on the lower left side of the machine.
Connect the other end of the vacuum and solution hoses to the
accessory tool. When using accessory tools, turn the Brush Motor
Switch OFF.
