PREPARATION
Handle Adjustment
Pull Tee knob up to release handle. Adjust
the handle to a comfortable height. Release
Tee knob to lock in place.
Most technicians have found better
control and less fatigue when the
handle is in a low position - just around
the hip line. There is an ideal position
for each person which will ensure the
RX20 will do the work for you.
Solution and Vacuum Hose Connections
Your RX20 is equipped with one 440 brass
male quick connect for the solution hose
and an 1 ½” vacuum hose outlet (refer to
Figure 4-1). The vacuum inlet cuff requires a
1 ½” I.D. and a 2” O.D. vacuum hose for proper air flow.
The vacuum hose must be in good condition to ensure maximum airflow.
Electrical Cord Connection
The 50 ft electrical cord on your RX20 is a detachable three-prong grounded line
requiring a three-prong, 15 Amp receptacle. A three-prong to two-prong adapter may be
used, providing its ground wire is properly attached to a grounded terminal.
Do not, under any circumstances, remove the ground prong from your RX20 power
cord. Serious injury or death may result.
For best results, vacuum the carpet thoroughly prior to using the carpet cleaning system.
