PRE-OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE - FOR COLOR FASTNESS: Before using carpet cleaning chemicals, test on an
inconspicuous part of the carpet for color fastness. Place the solution on a small piece of clean
white cloth or tissue. Rub the carpet area vigorously with the cleaning chemical. Excessive
amounts of dye showing on the material would indicate that the colors are not colorfast, and
should not be wet cleaned.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare room for cleaning, moving furniture as need to provide a clear working area. Cover
bottoms of furniture legs where possible. (Aluminum foil or foam blocks are ideal for this
purpose.) Pin up curtains and drapes.
2. Gather cleaning supplies: a clean, suitable sized bucket, carpet cleaning solution, and pretreat
solutions for heavily soiled traffic areas.
3. Disconnect vacuum hose from recovery tank and lift the RECOVERY TANK off of the
SOLUTION TANK.
4. Measure carpet cleaning solution, per manufacturers recommended ratio, into the SOLUTION
TANK and fill with hot water. DO NOT use the RECOVERY TANK to fill the SOLUTION TANK.
Debris remaining in the tank could damage the pump or block the jet. WARNING: DO NOT
exceed water temperature of 150º F (65º C).
5. Replace RECOVERY TANK on machine. Add defoamer solution, per manufacturer’s
instructions as needed, in RECOVERY TANK.
6. Replace the transparent cover on the RECOVERY TANK and connect the vacuum hose to the
front of the RECOVERY TANK.
7. Pre-treat heavily soiled carpet areas as required.
1. Plug the power cord into an outlet. WARNING: This machine must be properly grounded. See
Grounding Instructions on page 4 for additional information.
2. Press the VACUUM and BRUSH switches “on”. The solutioin switch has 3 positions (ON-
OFF-ON) | = Spray is actuated by the single push button on the handle, O = Spray is OFF, || =
Spray ON. See FIG. 2 for a diagram of operational switches.
3. To clean the carpet, press and hold the SOLUTION SPRAY PUSH BUTTOM (FIG. 1) to apply
the cleaning solution, pulling the machine backwards at the same time. Stop spraying the
solution approximately 12 inches (30 cm) before the end of your pass, so that the extractor
will vacuum up all of the solution. Slightly overlap the next cleaning pass to prevent streaking.
To avoid overwetting, it is recommended that a maximum of only two wet passes (spraying
solution) be done. One dry pass without spraying solution will also aid in drying time. After a
few passes, check the RECOVERY TANK to verify that no foam is present. Add extra defoamer
if necessary.
4. Empty the RECOVERY TANK when it is approximately 3/4 full. Do not refill the SOLUTION
TANK without emptying all of the contents of the RECOVERY TANK first.
