Using the Machine
The process for carpet cleaning is carried out through 3 steps:
A. Carpet pre-spraying, with a concentrated solution of water and chemical
B. Cleaning with the injection-extraction method, using a solution of water and chemical.
C. Cleaning with injection-extraction method, using clean water only, rinsing carpet
surfaces and removing any chemical residual.
STEP A – PRE-SPRAYING AND CHEMICAL APPLICATION
1. Open the chemical input valve on the lower control panel.
2. Check that the pre-spray gun is connected to the machine with the pre-spray hose.
3. Turn the chemical selector valve to the on position.
4. Switch the solution pump on using the pump switch, located on the upper control panel.
5. To spray solution, pull the trigger on the pre-spray gun. For high pressure, pull the
nozzle back towards you. For low pressure pull the nozzle forward.
6. By rotating the nozzle, it is possible to adjust the spray angle. Spray the chemical
uniformly on the carpet. For spots, more chemical may be required.
7. During pre-spray, the machine automatically dilutes the chemical to an optimal dilution
rate for pre-spray.
8. Turn the pump switch off
9. Return the hose and gun to it’s storage location
DWELL TIME
Dwell time is an important part in carpet cleaning. It allows the chemical time to break down
the soil in the carpet. When using Just for Carpets, the recommended dwell time is 3-5
minutes.
STEP B – EXTRACTION CLEANING WITH CHEMICAL SOLUTION
Open the chemical input valve on the lower control panel.
Connect The vacuum hose to the recovery tank.
Connect the solution hose on the vacuum hose to the quick disconnect on the lower
control panel.
Connect the carpet wand to the vacuum and solution hose.
Turn the pump on
Turn the vacuum on
