2.Attach shampoo brushes

Press shampoo brushes down firmly over brush shaft, rotating brush until it clicks into position.

Shampoo brushes are very soft to protect fine rugs and carpet. Do not use scrubbing-waxing-pol- ishing brushes on carpet or rugs.

3. Fill tank

Mix carpet shampoo according to directions on the container. Pour to the “FULL” line in the tank opening marked “CLEAN SOLU- TION”.

CAUTION: Do not use all-purpose detergents, soaps, ammonia, or washing soda. They can cause colors to run and may damage carpet fibers. Liquid household detergents will not give satisfactory cleaning results. The shampoo solution should be cool or lukewarm, as a hot solution may fade colors or cause shrinkage.

4. Shampoo carpet or rug

Start at one end of the room and work toward a door so that it will not be necessary to walk on the damp carpet. It is recommended that an area 3 ft. x 3 ft. (Im x Im) be shampooed before moving to another area. Begin by lowering handle and moving control button to “SCRUB-POLISH-SHAMPOO”.

Squeeze trigger intermittently to apply solution. Apply sparingly in order not to soak the carpet.

The type of fiber, surface texture, and height of pile will determine how much solution should be used. Guide shampoo-polisher slowly, slightly overlapping the strokes. Move forward and back- ward until the 3 ft. x 3 ft. area (Im x Im) is covered with foam. Criss- cross area to work foam uniformly into the carpet (see illustration) until the foam disappears. The final strokes over each area should always be in the same direction.
