OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ATTACHING DRIVE BOARDS AND PADS
• Tilt the machine back on its wheels until the back of the motor housing is resting on
the floor exposing the drive mechanism at the front.
• A drive board or the brush should now be placed on the drive mechanism and locked
in place by turning anti-clockwise.
• When using the machine with the drive board select the correct size and grade of pad
and fit to the drive board.
• With the drive board or brush fitted the machine can be returned to the upright po-
sition.
• Reverse the process to remove the drive board or the brush.
OPERATING THE MACHINE
• Plug into power supply and check that green indicator light is on.
• The handle should be adjusted to a comfortable working height when the pad or
brush is flat on the floor.
• The handle is adjusted by pulling the height adjustment lever – this allows the handle
to be adjusted
• The handle will lock into position when this lever is released.
• Lift the handle so that the machine base is parallel to the floor.
• Operate the machine by sliding one of the safety switches outwards and lifting one of
the on/off levers as above.
• The temperature of the drive board is regulated by the thermostat dial.
• This primarily should be set at 85°C for use with the aluminum drive board and 0°C for
use with the carpet shampoo brush and plastic type drive board.
• To set the heatgun temperature, adjust the red knob located on the top of the heat
gun and set between 5 and 6 on the dial.
• When the machine is tilted back – with the back of the motor housing resting on the
floor and the aluminum drive board in place – attach a wet carpet pad onto the board
and use as per previous instructions.
• Caution: the aluminum drive board gets extremely hot – when handling use heat resis-
tant gloves to avoid burns etc.
• To adjust the pressure on the drive board or the carpet shampoo brush the weight can
be added by placing in position and hand tightening the bolts provided.
CONTROLLING MACHINE MOVEMENT
• When the brush or pad is flat on the floor – the machine will stay in the
• central position.
• To move to the right – slightly raise the handle and the machine will move to the right.
• To move to the left – slightly lower the handle and the machine will move to the left.
• The speed at which the machine moves either left or right will depend entirely on the
amount the handle is raised or lowered.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:
• Always remove plug from socket outlet before carrying out any routine maintenance.
• Wipe all surfaces of machine after use.
• Always wind the cable around the bottom cable hook and handle.
• Wipe power cable clean after use – using a damp cloth.
• Check cable visually for signs of wear and damage - if any is detected, ensure that it
is replace immediately – this operation need not require a service call as a new cable
(see safety information) can be plugged in by unqualified personnel.
