Observe the following guidelines, while cleaning:
WARNING: Always use defoamer if foaming
occurs. Foam will suspend large
particles which may damage
vacuum(s), as well as allow liquid
into the vacuum motor(s).
1. Before proceeding, make certain that the nozzle
is functioning properly.
a.To check, hold the hand tool about one foot
above the surface to be cleaned and open the
hand tool valve. A full spray should be
observed form the cleaning nozzle.
b.If the nozzle is not showing a full spray
pattern, adjust nozzle for proper pattern, clean,
or replace nozzle.
2. Normally, chemical is applied on the push stroke
of the hand tool when cleaning. Vacuuming is
done on the pull stroke. For heavily soiled
carpets the hand tool may be used in a scrub-
bing manner, applying chemical in both push and
pull strokes. Always finish up an area with a
vacuum pull stroke.
3.
When cleaning, keep the working opening (hand
tool mouth) flat on the surface being cleaned.
Keep the hand tool moving when the valve is
open.
WARNING: Improper discharge of waste may
damage the environment and be
illegal. The United States Environ-
mental Protection Agency has
established certain regulations
regarding discharge of waste
water. Also, city and state regula-
tions regarding the discharge may
be in effect in your area. Under-
stand and follow the regulations in
your area. Be aware of the envi-
ronmental hazards of chemicals
that you dispose.
