OPERATING THE PROSPOT:
1. Turn the switch, located on the rear panel, to “VACUUM/SPRAY”.
2. Place the hand tool on the surface to be cleaned and squeeze the
solution lever. Move tool over surface to be cleaned. Note: Do not apply
too much solution to upholstery to minimize dry time.
3. Always monitor recovered solution in the recovery tank. Excess water
can be drawn into the vacuum motor resulting in damage to the motor.
Turn machine off and empty recovery tank periodically. This machine is
equipped with a float shut off to help prevent damage to the vacuum
motor.
4. At the end of job turn switch to ‘OFF’ and disconnect power cord from
outlet. Empty recovery tank (turn upside down and empty through hose
intake) and solution tank of any solutions. Thoroughly rinse both tanks
to remove any residue and to keep tanks fresh.
CLEANING TIPS:
• Check the condition of the carpeting. If the carpet is loose, heavily
soiled, stained, spotted or badly worn, point this out to the person in
charge.
• Locate an inconspicuous spot on the area to be cleaned. Test carpet for
colorfastness before proceeding. Pour the concentrated cleaning
solution on the spot, cover with a white towel and place a heavy object
on top to absorb the cleaning solution. Wait 10 minutes for any reaction
to take place. Remove weight. If there is no color transfer, it should be
safe to clean.
• Clean the area first with a Clean-Air Carpetkeeper, upright vacuum. Do
not use the ProSpot as a dry vacuum! Heavily soiled carpet or areas of
concentrated foot traffic should be treated with
• recommended pre-spotting or pre-spray chemicals, using a hand spray
trigger bottle or pump up sprayer. Do not allow any spotter or pre-spray
to dry on the carpet. Use a small hand held carpet brush to agitate the
carpeting. Always agitate toward the center of the spot.
• After spot cleaning the carpet, place a small square of aluminum foil or
6 mil poly square under the furniture legs to prevent moisture from
