BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

familiar with carpet cleaning, you should be able to operate this machine.
• Always be sure to read and fully understand all of these instructions before attempting to operate
this machine.

MACHINE INSPECTION
• Carefully unpack this machine and recycle all packing materials.

NOTE
Always wear tennis shoes. Street shoes or rubber cushioned shoes, when wet, will release absorbed
dirt or grease onto the carpeting and cause resoiling. Wet shoes can cause the operator to slip and fall
when walking from wet carpet onto bare floors. Make sure the soles of your shoes are wiped dry before
walking onto a bare floor. Care should be taken as carpet cleaning solutions may attack a bare floor.
CAUTION
• NEVER stick your hands, feet, or any other objects under the brush head when the motor is
operating. Injury may result!
