2. To Right: raise handle slightly. The higher the handle is lifted,
the faster the machine will move to the right. To Left: to change
direction, lower the handle until the machine travels to the left. The
more the handle is lowered, the faster the movement to the left.
3. Lower the handle to a comfortable operating height by loosening
the friction lock height adjustment lever. Adjust handle (See picture
B on page 2). Then, tighten after the handle is comfortable to you.
This is usually the height of having the hand grips about the height
of your hip bone.
4. Before starting the machine, hold the handle so the machine base
is parallel to floor. This will reduce the abrupt jolt when starting the
machine.
note:
For first time users, fill tank half way. This will lighten the
machine making it easier to control for beginners. Also see the
'Rotaries Made Easy' video located at the bottom of the MiniMax page

5. Apply cleaning solution to pad or bonnet prior to starting machine
to lubricate and protect carpet fibers. To begin scrubbing, hold the
handles firmly, depress the safety lock button and pull switch triggers
upward. Release the safety lock button once machine starts.
attention:
Use caution when starting out, the machine will jolt
when the on/off triggers are pulled.
6. To move the machine left (A), slightly lower the handle. To move
right (B), slightly raise the handle. Operate the machine with a side to
side motion (Figure 5).
note:
When pad becomes soiled, remove pad and turn over to
expose clean side. Remove and wash pad after both sides become
soiled. See more about bonnets in our 'Bonnet 101' video found at
bonnetpro.com in the CT6 Education Center.
7. To stop machine, release the handle grips and hold handles firmly
until machine comes to a complete stop. The safety lock button will
automatically reset.
for SafetY:
When using machine, do not release handles until pad
comes to a complete stop.

The machine’s circuit breaker may trip under conditions
of excessive overload. Change to a less aggressive pad/brush and
periodically check pad for soil build--up. To reset circuit breaker
