DE-FLOODING OPERATIONS
De-flooding operations involve removal of water from
carpet and flooring. This differs from normal cleaning
operations in that no water or solution is required. A
Cleanco Auto Drain is recommended for all de-flooding
operations due to the large amount of water removal
often required.
1. Turn the MAIN POWER switch to the “CARPET
MODE”.
2. Leave pump switch “OFF” position.
FREEZE GUARD PROCEDURE
1.
Drain recovery and fresh water tanks.
2. Remove chemical jug and store in a heated area.
3. Remove hose from fresh water tank and insert into
a container of window washer antifreeze along with
the chemical feed hose.
4. Turn chemical flow meter knob to the on position.
5. Attach the fill (primer) hose to the front panel high
pressure quick connect and place other end into
an empty pail.
6. Turn the unit switch and pump switch to the on
position.
7. Open the ball valve on the fill (primer) hose.
8. Chemical flow meter will begin to draw antifreeze
into the chemical injection system, continue until all
water is evacuated and antifreeze is present in the
flow being expelled into the pail.
9. Close the fill (primer) hose ball valve for approx. 10
seconds. This allows antifreeze to circulate through
the bypass system. Then open the fill (primer)
hose ball valve and evacuate the remainder of the
water until antifreeze is present.
10. Turn off unit and pump switch.
11. Replace hose on fresh water tank and remove fill
(primer) hose.
12. The use of a 12 volt air compressor for connecting
to all cleaning tools and high pressure hoses to
evacuate water from lines and valves.
13. Remember to reclaim the antifreeze upon start up.
COMPACT WATER FLOW SYSTEM
The Compact water flow system has been design to be
simple and trouble free. The incoming water flows from
the fresh water tank through the incoming water filter,
then through the chemical injector. As the water passes
through the chemical injector, it automatically picks up
the predetermined quantity of cleaning solution.
The predetermined quantity of cleaning solution is
determined by the chemical flow meter located on the
front panel. With this advanced chemical injector, the
chemical flow is injected only when there is a demand
for water.
Once the water has been injected with the correct
amount of chemical it then passes through the high
pressure pump, where it is pressurized. The pressure is
then control by the BPR (Balanced Pressure Regulator),
which is fully adjustable from the front panel.
After the water flow exits the BPR (Balanced Pressure
Regulator), it then passes through the dual reverse flow
heat exchanger where the water is heated to the preset
temperature, which is determined by the adjustable
temperature control knob on the front panel.
The water then exits the heat exchangers and continues
through the plumbing system to the high pressure quick
connects located on the front panel.
NOTE: The water flow plumbing system may need to be
flushed with vinegar periodically to prevent abnormal
chemical or hard water build-up. This can be done by
removing the clear hose from the chemical jug and
inserting it into a 1 liter (quart) container of vinegar. Then
open the chemical flow meter to the setting of 10. With
the unit running spray the wand until the 1 litre (quart) of
vinegar is empty. Then repeat the process with 1 litre
(quart) of water to flush the vinegar out of the lines.
If you are in an area with extreme hard water it is
suggested to use Coil Cleaner and flush entire water
system on a regular basis. For information on how to use
Coil Cleaner, contact your nearest Cleanco distributor.
HIGH PRESSURE PUMP
The Compact 45 & 47 are equipped with a state of the
art Cat plunger pump. Cat pumps are built to last, with
three ceramic plungers, stainless steel valves and oil-
cooled cam-shaft system.
With the Cat pump you have the ability of performing
carpet cleaning and power washing, with pressure
output ranging from 30 psi to 1200 psi. If 1200 psi is
exceeded this can cause damage to the packings and
retaining seals in the pump.
Your Cleanco Dis
tributor will preset your Compact unit’s
pump at a pressure rating between 300 psi and 500 psi
during installation. Cleanco has found this pressure
range to be the optimal setting for carpet cleaning. When
cleaning upholstery a simple adjustment of the BPR
(Balanced Pressure Regulator) on the front panel will
lower your pressure to 200 psi, which is recommended
for upholstery cleaning.
When power washing you must remember that your
Cleanco Compact is set up for carpet cleaning. Even
though your Triplex pump has maximum rating of 2500
psi, this pump is set up for carpet cleaning will give you
maximum 1200 psi for power washing. With 1200 psi
and the high heat from the Cleanco heat exchangers it
makes power washing simple.
