OPERATION
Using the CarpetFoam
1. Vacuum surface debris from the area to be cleaned. Pre-spray soiled spots.
2. Plug the Power Cord(13) into a properly grounded outlet.
3. Step on the Handle Release Pedal(11)and lower the handle to a comfortable operating position.
4. With the Foam Control Valve (5) in the "Brush" position, push the Foam Generation Lever
(3)down. In the down position, the machine will generate foam continuously until the lever is shut
OFF (back to the middle position). The lever may also be held up in the Temporarily ON position,
where it will automatically revert to the OFF position when released.
5. When foam begins to appear at the front of the machine, turn the Twist Grips (2) to start the brush
motor. When correctly adjusted the brush will help propel the machine (see Adjust the brush on
page5).
6. Start at the right side of the room. Working from right to left will prevent leaving a wheel track on
the carpet. Make a forward pass with the foam ON. Turn the foam OFF 2-3 feet before the end of
the pass.
7. Go over the same path in reverse with the foam OFF.
8. Move to the left and repeat steps 6and7. Overlap passes at least 2 inches to prevent streaking. In
extremely soiled areas, it may be necessary to move the machine back and forth over the spot
several times.
CAUTION!
Always clean the brush when going from one color carpet to another to prevent color transfer !

cloth and work it into the upholstery fabric in an inconspicuous place. Do not use if color bleeds onto

CarpetFoam. Connect the hose from the
FoamaTron to the Attachment Port.

3. Plug the electrical cord from the FoamaTron into the Receptacle (15) on the Carpetfoam.
4. Move the Foam Generation Lever (3) DOWN on the CarpetFoam for continuous team generation.
5. Turn the foam flow ON at the Power Brush. When foam appears, turn the Power Brush ON. Run
the brush continuously and apply foam as needed. Keep the brush in constant motion aver the
material being cleaned. Overlap passes to assure complete coverage and prevent streaking.
