Changing the Spray Bar Assembly:
It is important that the correct Spray Bar be used for different
carpet types.
(See Spray Bar selection instructions on Page 6)
To clean different types of carpeting you will have to change
your Spray Bar Assembly.
Always disconnect the Solution Hose from the CX-15
before attempting to service or change the Spray Bar.
Use a 3/4” Wrench to hold the hex on the Swivel to prevent
the Swivel from turning. Use the heel of your hand to push on
one end of the Spray Bar to rotate the Spray Bar counter-
clockwise. Once it is loosened, you can then spin it to remove
it from the Swivel. The Spray Bar usually can be loosened with
just your hand, but in some cases, especially if you have not
changed the Spray Bar in a long time you may need to tap the
Spray Bar with a rubber mallet to loosen it.
Once you have selected the correct Spray Bar Assembly for
the type of carpet you are cleaning, hold the Swivel with the
3/4” wrench and spin the new Spray Bar clockwise onto the
Swivel. Use the heel of your hand to push on one end of the
Spray Bar to tighten it. Just make it snug, do not over tighten.
Inspecting & Changing the Glide Plate:
With normal use, the Glide Plate will last for years, but as the carpet contact point for the CX-15, over time,
the Glide Plate may wear out or get damaged. Before each job, inspect the Glide Plate. Look for and remove
any debris or grit which may be imbedded in the Glide Plate surface. Check for rough edges or nicks which
could snap the carpet. A file, emery board or a fine grit sanding block can be used to smooth the Glide
surface. A worn glide may not seal as well or a damaged glide could snag the carpet.
To replace the Glide Plate, first remove the three screws from the front bottom of the CX-15 head, then flip
the tool over and remove the six screws on the bottom of the Glide Plate.
(Do not mix up the screws. The front screws & bottom screws are different.)
Place the new Glide Plate NM6004 onto the bottom of the CX-15 body assembly and replace the nine
screws. Test the CX-15 operation before returning to service.
