OPERATING THE MACHINE
1
Follow the instructions in the
Preparing the Machine for Use
section of this manual.
2
Loosen the Handle Height Adjustment Knobs
(20A)
and adjust the handle height to the most comfortable position for the operator. Re-tighten the
knobs once the desired height is reached. Or lift up on Handle Position Adjustment Lever
(20B)
to adjust to a comfortable height.
3
Plug the machine into a properly grounded outlet. To start the vacuum motor and brush motor, turn Power and Extract / Accessory Switch
(14)
to
the extract On (I) position (brush symbol).
4
Push down on the Brush Pressure Control Knob
(17)
to release the machine from the storage position.
5
Adjust the brush pressure. Turn the Brush Pressure Control Knob
(17)
counter-clockwise to decrease the brush pressure and clockwise to
increase the brush pressure. The machine should assist, but not propel itself (on carpet) when the brush is properly adjusted.
6
Continually hold the Solution Switch
(1)
to dispense solution. Once the Solution Switch
(1)
is released the solution
fl
ow will stop. On the Klenzor
18, which is equipped with Solution Switch (Constant or Intermittent)
(16)
, solution is dispensed in two ways.
• When the Solution Switch
(16)
on the panel is in the “constant” position, solution is dispensed continuously and the Solution Switch
(1)
is
disabled. This is mainly used when the machine is used in the high productivity walk behind mode.
• When the Solution Switch
(16)
on the panel is in the “intermittent” position, solution is dispensed only when the Solution Switch
(1)
is pressed.
7
Begin cleaning by pulling the machine along in a straight line and overlap each pass by 2 inches (5 cm). Release the Solution Switch
(1)
prior to
turns to ensure complete extraction of solution from carpet.
8
Watch
the
fl
uid entering the Recovery Tank Dome Lid
(4)
. If there is a large amount of suds in the recovery tank, add a defoamer chemical to the
recovery tank.
CAUTION!
Empty the recovery tank before the
fl
uid or foam enters the vacuum motor.
If there is little or no
fl
uid entering the recovery tank, check the Solution Drain Hose / Level Indicator
(15)
, the solution tank may be empty. Re
fi
ll
the solution tank with water and the proper ratio of cleaning chemical.
9
The recovery tank has an Automatic Float Shut-Off
(9)
to block the vacuum system when the recovery tank is full. You can tell when the
fl
oat
closes by the sudden change in the sound of the vacuum motor. When the
fl
oat closes, the recovery tank must be emptied. The machine can
continue to dispense solution, but
will not
pick up water with the
fl
oat closed.
10
When the operator wants to stop cleaning or the recovery tank is full, release the Solution Switch
(1)
. Then turn the power switch Off (O) and
unplug the machine.
11
Push the machine to a designated waste water “DISPOSAL SITE” and empty the recovery tank. To empty, pull the Recovery Tank Drain Hose
(12)
from its rear storage hanger, then remove the plug (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled
fl
ow of waste water). Re
fi
ll the solution tank and continue cleaning.
