OPERATING THE OPTIONAL SOLUTION TANK

WARNING: Fire or Explosion Hazard.
Never Use Flammable Liquids.
FOR SAFETY: When using machine, follow mixing
and handling instructions on chemical containers.

CLEANING CARPETS
Shampoo carpet brush required. Do not use a brush
that is intended for hard floors; personal injury and
carpet damage may result. Order Shampoo Carpet
Brush p/n 604989--17”, 607463--20” or consult your
distributor or dealer for recommendations.
Before operating the machine on carpet, the carpet
must be presprayed with an approved cleaning
solution. The solution will act as a lubricant to allow
the shampoo brush to spin with little resistance.
FOR SAFETY: To avoid a jolt when starting the
machine on carpet, use a recommended shampoo
carpet brush and prespray the carpet.
When using the Dual Speed model to clean
carpets, do not operate machine at high speed;
personal injury may result.
For best cleaning results allow the presprayed
cleaning solution to ”dwell” on the carpet for
approximately 10--12 minutes before scrubbing. Using
only a shampoo carpet brush, operate the machine at
a gradual, steady pace.
After scrubbing, while carpet is still wet, use an
extractor or wet--vacuum to pick up suspended soil
and foam. Then vacuum carpet when it’s completely
dry.
