How This Machine Works

carpet using the Quick Dry Carpet Care System. By
using the Carpet Maintainer in conjunction with iCapsol
or Prochem ProCaps chemical solution, you can
perform a regular light cleaning and grooming of your
carpet very quickly, and have the carpet dry and ready
for traffic within 20 minutes.
The handle movement flexibility allows the machine to
clean under low furniture. There is a hand operated on/
off switch and auto-handle lock keeping the handle in
an upright position. This unit is equipped with a safety
feature that when unplugged from the wall or the
handle dropped, will automatically reset to the off
position.
The debris tray is used to catch unwanted carpet debris
and should be cleaned regularly and prior to trans-
porting.

Instructions
Test for colorfastness in an inconspicuous area before
use.
1. Vacuum carpet to remove loose soil.
2. Dilute iCapsol or Prochem ProCaps at 8oz. per
gallon of water (1:16) into the solution tank.
3. Pre-spray carpet to be cleaned at a rate of 600-
1000 sq. ft. per gallon of diluted solution. Do not
over wetNo dwell time is required. Do not allow
chemical to dry before brushing.
4. Brush treated area to emulsify soils using the
iCapsol or other carpet-brushing machine.
5. Allow to dry until dry to touch (approximately 20
minutes) before opening area to traffic.
6. Vacuum carpet when fully dry to remove encapsu-
lated soil.
Tips:
Pre-treat carpet spots with iCapsol Interim
cleaning solution. Work on a manageable area and do
not allow cleaning solution to dry on carpet before
brushing.
Deluxe
The
Deluxe
is provided with a removable solution tank.
To remove tank for filling and cleaning, press the gray
release button on the blue coupler located at the top of
the tank. Next remove upper straps from mounting
pegs. The tank will now freely separate from the
machine base. After filling tank remount to machine by
reversing the process mentioned above.
The proper 1:16 dilution ratio can be achieved by
adding one pint (16 oz.) of recommended chemical and
slowly filling the tank with water (2 gallons). Adding
water slowly will help prevent foaming.
To achieve a coverage rate of 600-1000 sq. ft. per
gallon using the onboard sprayer, spray solution only
during the forward stroke of operation. Use the back-
stroke to brush the chemical into the carpet.
