SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING HALLWAYS AND LARGE OPEN AREAS
To make the most efficient use of this machine, and to get the cleanest carpet, always vacuum the carpet, with a
vacuum cleaner to remove excess dirt before scrubbing and extracting.
•
Before attempting to clean the room or hallway, the operator should inspect the area to see if there are any
heavy soil conditions (particularly heavy traffic areas) or spots. Propel this machine up to those areas and prespray.
• To prespray, remove the spray wand from it’s holder (located at the right, rear side of the machine).
• Prespray those traffic areas by squeezing the trigger on the spray wand. This will draw cleaning solution from the
machine’s solution tank. Do not attempt to prespray areas that you will not overscrub with the machine within a ten
minute time span.
• If there are spots, try to ascertain what type of stain it is. See the “Common Stains and Cleaning Treatments”
page for solutions to use on the stain.
• There is room for two bottles of spotting liquid on the shelf at the back of the machine. Let the spray sit on the
stain for about five minutes, then blot up as much as possible.
• Plan your work based upon available electrical outlets.
• The right hand side of the machine has a bumper wheel, so always keep the right side of the machine closest to
the wall.
• Start at the electrical outlet to which your machine is plugged into, clean along the wall boards, away from your
outlet. This helps to avoid running over the cord during operation.
• With the right-hand side of the machine closest to the wall, have the master switch, the pump motor, the
vac motor, and the suction all
“ON”, operate the machine as far as the cord will allow.
• It is possible to transverse 75 feet (the length of your cord) away from the wall outlet to which your machine is
plugged in.
• Usually, areas closest to the walls are the least soiled, the speed control can be set at its mid point, or turned up
to a higher speed.
• The brush shoe and brush head will swing out from the wall if they get too close to the wall. This avoids gouging
the wall boards or the wall.
• Cross to the other side of the hall or room and work your way back along the opposite wall for as far as the
length of the cord will allow.
• It is best to allow for a two inch overlap on each pass to be sure you have covered all of the carpet.
• If time allows after you have completed extracting, turn the spray switch “OFF” , then with both the vac switch and
brush switches ” ON”, make high-speed passes over the carpet. The high-speed vacuuming of the extracted carpet
will remove excess moisture, speed up the drying time, and set the pile, leaving a better appearance.
• Use an air mover dryer to speed up the drying time.
Note: If an extension cord must be used with this machine, limit it to 50 feet of 12-3 SJT.
