PROTECT FROM FREEZING
If it becomes necessary to store in temperatures that could drop below 40°F, the pumping system, hoses and valves must be protected from freezing with a methyl hydrate window washer antifreeze solution.
NOTE: Do not use ethylene glycol or cooling system antifreezes.
1.Add one gallon of window washer antifreeze to the supply tank.
2.Turn on pump switch and spray until the
3.Drain the leftover antifreeze from the supply tank. Always allow the unit to reach room temperature before filling with hot water or operating.
4.Before operation be sure to flush system completely. Failure to do so after winterizing machine will damage carpet.
DAILY/REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Before making any adjustments or repairs to
the machine, disconnect the power cord from the electrical source.
1.Empty unused cleaning solution from the solution tank.
2.Inspect and clean filter at solution tank fill port and at the vacuum intake port in the dome.
3.Flush pumping system with 1 to 2 gallons of clean, hot water.
4.Check spray jet for full spray pattern.
5.Empty the recovery tank and rinse with clean water.
6.Check for and remove any lint or debris around brush and vac shoe.
7.Clean float screen and check float valve to make sure it moves freely.
MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1.After every 25 hours of operation, flush a white vinegar solution (ONE quart vinegar to two gallons of water) or
2.If the spray jet becomes clogged, check for debris and clean surface of jet.
NOTE: Do not use pins, wire, etc. to clean spray jet nozzle as this will deform the jet and destroy the spray pattern.
3.Periodically inspect all hoses, electrical cables, filters, gaskets and connections on your machine. Frayed or cracked hoses should be repaired or replaced to eliminate vacuum or solution pressure loss.
4.The electrical cable must be well insulated, if the cable insulation is broken or frayed, repair or replace it immediately. Don't take chances with electrical fire or shock.
5.The filter in the bottom of the solution tank and at the fill port must be clean to allow free flow of cleaning solution. The screen filter on the vacuum intake in the dome must be free of lint buildup to ensure full vacuum strength.
6.The dome gasket must be properly seated and free of damage to create the air seal needed to extract water.
