The Pullman M7P Spray Extractor is a versatile cleaning appliance designed for a range of applications, including car cleaning, garages, motels, hotels, restaurants, and cafes. This spray extractor is engineered to provide quality cleaning solutions by combining spraying and extraction functions, making it effective for deep cleaning carpets and upholstery.
Function Description
The core function of the M7P Spray Extractor is to apply a cleaning solution to a surface and then extract the dirty liquid, leaving the surface cleaner and drier. It operates with a suction motor and a detergent pump, which can be controlled independently. This independent operation allows for flexible cleaning methods:
- Washing fabrics or floors/carpets: By starting only the detergent pump, the user can apply cleaning solution to the surface.
- Washing and suctioning simultaneously: By starting both the detergent pump and the suction motor, the appliance can apply solution and immediately extract the dirty liquid.
- Suctioning liquids only: By starting only the suction motor, the appliance can be used to pick up spills or extract excess moisture.
The appliance is equipped with a solution tank for the cleaning detergent and a recovery tank for the dirty water. The detergent is dispensed through a nozzle, and the dirty liquid is then suctioned into the recovery tank.
Usage Features
The M7P Spray Extractor is designed for user convenience and effective cleaning across various surfaces.
Assembly and Connections:
- Suction Hose: The suction hose sleeve is inserted into the nozzle on the drum. To release it, a lever is moved clockwise, and the sleeve is pulled outwards.
- Detergent Delivery Hose: This hose connects to a quick coupling on the appliance. Pushing the quick coupling inwards releases it.
- Detergent Suction Hose: Similar to the delivery hose, this connects to another quick coupling and is released by pushing the coupling inwards.
Rigid Pipe Assembly for Carpets and Floors:
- For carpet and floor washing, the ergonomic handle, rigid extensions, and floor nozzle are assembled.
- The lever on the ergonomic handle is set to a vertical position before attaching the first extension. Once attached, the lever is turned to a horizontal position to lock it.
- Subsequent extensions are attached and locked in a similar manner.
- The floor nozzle is then attached to the final extension and locked in place.
Hose Assembly for Fabric Washing:
- For fabric washing, the fabric nozzle is attached directly to the ergonomic handle, with the lever locking it into place.
- Alternatively, for professional fabric washing, a fabric nozzle can be inserted into the flexible hose, and the detergent hose connected to a quick coupling on the flexible hose.
Filling the Detergent Tank:
- The cap of the detergent tank is removed, and the appropriate detergent liquid is poured in. The manufacturer's instructions for detergent dosing should be followed. The cap is then replaced.
Starting the Appliance:
- The appliance is plugged into an electrical socket.
- Separate switches are provided for the suction motor and the detergent pump. Pressing "I" on these switches starts the respective functions, and the switches illuminate.
- An ergonomic handle (if present) allows for adjustment of the suction force using a selector. Opening a window on the selector decreases the suction force.
Washing Floors or Carpets:
- The hose with the ergonomic handle, rigid extensions, and floor nozzle are mounted.
- Both the suction motor and detergent pump are started.
- Detergent is dispensed by pressing a switch on the handle. Releasing the button stops dispensing.
- For continuous dispensing, a slide can be moved towards the switch to block it in the pushed position. Moving the slide back releases the switch.
- For very dirty areas, it is recommended to apply detergent without suctioning, allow it to work for several seconds, and then wash and suction the area.
- It is crucial to stop the detergent pump if dosing has not occurred for several minutes to prevent damage.
- When the recovery tank is full, the appliance's noise increases, and suction decreases. At this point, the appliance should be switched off, and the tank emptied.
Cleaning Chairs:
- The fabric nozzle is mounted on the relative hose.
- The suction motor and detergent pump are started.
- The nozzle is placed on the fabric with slight pressure, and a switch or lever is pressed to dispense detergent. Releasing it stops dispensing.
- Similar to floor cleaning, for very dirty areas, detergent can be applied first, allowed to soak, and then the area washed and suctioned.
Switching Off the Appliance:
- The switches for the suction motor and detergent pump are pressed to "0" to turn off the appliance, and their lamps will go out.
- The plug is removed from the electrical socket.
- The power cable is wound up and hooked onto its housing for storage.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the Pullman M7P Spray Extractor. It is critical to unplug the appliance from the electrical socket before performing any maintenance.
Daily Cleaning:
Emptying the Recovery Tank:
- Disconnect the detergent delivery hose and the flexible hose.
- Disconnect the detergent suction hose.
- Lift the levers and remove the cover (complete with motor).
- Remove the detergent container by lifting it by its handles.
- Empty the liquid from the recovery tank into a floor drain.
- Clean the inside of the tank with running water.
- Reassemble all parts in reverse order.
Cleaning the Detergent Dosing Circuit:
- At the end of each workday, the detergent dosing circuit should be cleaned to prevent clogging.
- Disconnect the detergent delivery hose and the detergent suction hose.
- Lift the levers and remove the cover (complete with motor).
- Remove the detergent container by lifting it by its handles.
- Remove the cap of the detergent container and empty any residual liquid into a suitable container.
- Wash the inside of the detergent container with running water.
- Reassemble all parts in reverse order.
- Pour clean water into the detergent container, connect the appliance electrically, and start the dosing pump.
- Clean the circuit by pressing the detergent dispensing switch or lever on the nozzle until clean water comes out.
- Empty the water from the detergent tank as described above.
Cleaning the Appliance Body:
- Clean the unit body with a cloth dampened with water or a mild detergent.
- Important: Do not wash the appliance using jets of water.
Periodic Checks:
Checking the Air Outlet Filter:
- Loosen the screws and remove the cover.
- Remove the filter sponge and clean it with a blast of air. The filter sponge can also be washed in warm water and must be completely dry before reinstallation. If it is too dirty, replace it with a new one.
- Reassemble all parts in reverse order.
Cleaning the Detergent Dispensing Nozzle:
- If detergent is not dispensed evenly, the nozzle needs cleaning.
- Remove the ring nut.
- Remove the nozzle and clean it with running water. If clogged, use a pin to clear it, being careful not to distort its shape.
- Reassemble all parts in reverse order.
Cleaning the Detergent Suction Filter:
- If detergent is not being suctioned properly, check and clean the suction filter inside the detergent tank.
- Using a screwdriver, loosen the suction cap and remove it from the tank with the relative suction hose.
- Remove the filter and wash it under running water. If it is too clogged, it should be replaced.
- Reassemble all parts in reverse order.
Replacing the Floor Nozzle Squeegee (if present):
- If the washing liquid is not suctioned properly and the floor or carpet remains wet after washing, check the condition of the squeegee.
- If the squeegee is worn or damaged, replace it by slipping the squeegee and its bristles off the nozzle.
The Pullman M7P Spray Extractor is designed for efficient and thorough cleaning, with clear instructions for both operation and maintenance to ensure its effective and safe use over time.
