OPERATING THE MACHINE
1
Follow the instructions in the
Preparing the Machine
for Use
section of this manual.
2
Make sure the Solution Fill Cap
(22)
and the
Recovery Tank Dome Lid
(2)
are firmly in place.
3
Make sure the Pump Switch
(5)
and the Vacuum
Switch
(6)
are both in the AUTO position.
4
Turn the Master Key Switch
(4)
ON.
5
Adjust the Nozzle Selector Knob
(25)
to either
the “maintenance” or “restoration” mode. Set
the Speed Control Knob
(9)
to the corresponding
“maintenance” or “restoration” setting.
6
Lower the Brush Deck
(20)
to the floor using the
Brush Deck Lift Lever
(12)
.
7
When the Drive Paddle
(11)
is in the neutral po-
sition, the brush does not run and solution is not
dispensed. Grip the Operator Control Handle
(10)
and push the Drive Paddle
(11)
forward to start
the brush motor and the solution, and to move the
machine forward. For best results, move the ma-
chine at full speed assuming that step 5 has been
completed. Pull the Drive Paddle
(11)
backward to
move the machine in reverse. The brush will turn
in the opposite direction while moving the machine
in reverse, and solution will not be dispensed.
8
Begin cleaning by driving the machine forward in a straight line and overlap each pass by 2 inches (5 cm). Turn the Pump Switch
(5)
OFF
prior to turns to ensure complete extraction of solution from carpet. Guide the right side of the machine along the wall when cleaning the
perimeter of the room.
9
Watch the fluid entering the Recovery Tank Dome Lid
(2)
. 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 fluid or foam enters the Vacuum Hose
(23)
at the rear of the Recovery Tank Dome Lid.
If there is little or no fluid entering the recovery tank, check the Solution Drain Hose / Level Indicator
(21)
, the solution tank may be empty.
Refill the solution tank with water and the proper ratio of cleaning chemical.
10
The recovery tank has an Automatic Float Shut-Off
(33)
to block the vacuum system when the recovery tank is full. You can tell when the
float closes by the sudden change in the sound of the vacuum motors. When the float closes, the recovery tank must be emptied. The
machine
will not
pick up water with the float closed.
11
When the operator wants to stop cleaning or the recovery tank is full, raise the Brush Deck Lift Lever
(12)
. This will automatically stop the
brush, pump and vacuum motors.
12
Drive the machine to a designated waste water “DISPOSAL SITE” and empty the recovery tank. To empty, pull the Drain Hose
(17)
from
it’s rear storage area, then remove the plug (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled flow
of waste water). Refill the solution tank and continue cleaning.
USING ATTACHMENTS
To use accessory tools, attach the accessory recovery hose to the front port of the Recovery Tank Dome Lid
(2)
. Attach the accessory solution
hose to the Accessory Port
(14)
. Connect the other ends of the hoses to the accessory tool. When using accessory tools, raise the Brush Deck
(20)
and place the Pump
(5)
and Vacuum
(6)
Switches in the ON position.
