OPERATING THE MACHINE
1. Vacuum the carpet and make sure it is cleared
of surface debris before cleaning.
2. Plug power cord into a grounded wall outlet.
NOTE: Defeating the grounding pin on the power
cord can result in a severe electrical shock.
3. Turn on the machine by pressing the switch in
the normal operation mode.
NOTE: The vacuum and the brush are protected by
circuit breakers located on the control panel, to the
right of the switch.
NOTE: If either motor does not respond to
being switched on, reset the circuit breakers by
pressing them in, and attempt to switch the
machine on again.
NOTE: If solution does not dispense in an even
pattern across the width of the machine, the spray
jet may be clogged. Tilt the machine back, check
for debris and clean surface of jet.
NOTE: Do not use pins, wire, etc. to clean spray jet
nozzle as this will deform the jet and destroy the
spray pattern.
4. While operating machine, check for excessive
foam buildup in the recovery tank. If excessive
foam is present, add a defoamer solution to
recovery tank, or empty tank.
5. Empty recovery tank when approximately 3/4
full. If the recovery tank is overfilled, the water
will drain back onto the carpet when the vacuum
is switched off.
6. Ventilate area after carpet has been cleaned.
Keep children and pets away and do not walk on
carpet until it is dry.
An AB84 fan can be used to reduce drying time.
