PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR USE
FILLTHESOLUTIONTANK
1.
Pre-mix the carpet shampoo with water in a separate, clean container. Follow the instructions on the
shampoo
package carefully. Far best results, use Arid Foam
TM
cleaner, which is specially
formulated to work with the CarpeFoam.
2.
Use the tunnel supplied with the machine to fill the solution tank. The tunnel allows excess team to
escape; place a bucket nearby to catch the excess team. First put in the pre-mixed shampoo, then
continue filling with water.
3.
Do not fill above the 3-1/2 gallon line
marked on
the back of the machine. Over-filling will
result
in inadequate foaming and an over-wet
carpet.
4.
Close the cap tightly on the tank.
ADJUST THE BRUSH
1. Plug the machine in to a properly
grounded outlet. Step down on the
Handle Release Pedal
(11) and move
the Control Handle (1) to a
comfortable operating position.
2. Starting with the brush up off the carpet, turn the Twist Grips(2) to start the brush motor. Turn
the Brush Adjustment Knob(9) to lower the brush on to the carpet. Keep turning the knob until
the machine just begins to pull away. When correctly adjusted, the brush will help propel the
machine when the Twist Grips are turned.
WARNING!
The solution tank may become pressurized during use!
