UPHOLSTERY TOOL SETUP AND
OPERATION (OPTION)
Machine cleans most synthetic upholstery. Fabrics
such as herculon and synthetic velvets will clean with
excellent results.
Extraction is not recommended for
most cottons, silks, wools or natural fiber velvets.
Check cleaning instructions sewn on furniture by
manufacturer for further instructions. Use extra caution
with furniture that has been reupholstered. Any
material under new upholstery may bleed and discolor
new fabric.
1.
Vacuum fabric before cleaning.
2.
Test fabric for color fastness. To test, pour a small
amount of cleaning solution on a white cloth. Hold
cloth against a hidden area of upholstery for 60
seconds. If no color transfers to cloth, it should be
safe to clean. However, always clean at your own
discretion.
3.
Disconnect vacuum hose from recovery dome and
replace with optional extension vacuum hose.
Connect optional solution hose to quick disconnect
located on top of tank. Then connect optional
accessory tool to hoses (Figure 13).

To clean, place tool on upholstery, squeeze trigger
and pull tool backwards (Figure 14).
WARNING: Flammable materials or reactive
metals can cause an explosion or fire. Do not pick
up.

cleaning solution as possible. Avoid overwetting
upholstery.
