OPERATIONS

CARPET INSPECTION:

Determine precisely what areas you are going to clean. Note problem areas in the carpet or tack strip. Look for loose carpet, heavily damaged areas, discolored stains, or grease spots that will require prespotting. Note the carpet type. Check the availability of hot water, drains, and suitable electrical outlets. If the carpet is loose or worn, have it repaired before attempting to clean it.

Plan the cleaning route, work from the most remote area towards the exit. Try not to travel over the cleaned areas when getting fresh water or dumping old. Furniture should be moved out away from the walls before cleaning. If furniture is moved back in place before carpet is completely dry, place plastic or foil protectors under the legs to prevent possible carpet staining. When possible use a Windblower (WB3) and open all windows and doors to speed carpet drying.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

On heavily soiled carpets, or on areas of high foot traffic, it may be necessary to use a prespray or traffic lane cleaner applied with a Pro-Spray. Do not add presprays to the machine's solution tank. If a spotter is used, follow the manufacturer's instructions exactly as printed on the label. Remove the spotter with the floor tool when done, spotter left in the carpet may bleach or brown it permanently.

As the carpet is being cleaned, check to see if there is foam building up in the recovery bucket. Add a little defoaming compound to the recovery tank but never to the solution tank.

For infrequent use or long periods of storage, flush the system with a neutralizing solution of 1 quart white vinegar mixed with 2 gallons hot water. Flush the system with clean hot water after neutralizing.

For hose fitting lubrication, use a light silicone lubricant which will not damage o-rings.

PROTECT THIS MACHINE FROM FREEZING. EQUIPMENT SET-UP:

1.Plug power cable from machine into properly grounded wall outlet.

2.Turn vacuum motor switch on and off to make sure there is electrical power at machine.
