OPERATION
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Using the
CarpeTron
1
Vacuum surface debris from the area to be cleaned. Pre-spray soiled spots.
2
Plug the Power Cord
(13)
into a properly grounded outlet.
3
Step on the Handle Release Pedal
(11)
and lower the handle to a comfortable operating position.
4
With the Foam Control Valve
(5)
in the "Brush" position, push the Foam Generation Lever
(3)
down. In the down
position, the machine will generate foam continuously until the lever is shut OFF (back to the middle position).
The lever may also be held up in the Temporarily ON position, where it will automatically revert to the OFF position
when released.
5
When foam begins to appear at the front of the machine, turn the Twist Grips
(2)
to start the brush motor. When
correctly adjusted, the brush will help propel the machine (see Adjust the Brush on page 5). Twist the Grips
forward to propel the machine forward, twist them back to propel the machine backward.
6
Start at the right side of the room. Working from right to left will prevent leaving a wheel track on the carpet. Make
a forward pass with the foam ON. Turn the foam OFF 2-3 feet before the end of the pass.
7
Go over the same path in reverse with the foam OFF.
8
Move to the left and repeat steps 6 and 7. Overlap passes at least 2 inches to prevent streaking. In extremely
soiled areas, it may be necessary to move the machine back and forth over the spot several times.
CAUTION!
Always clean the brush when going from one color carpet to another to prevent color transfer!
