MACHINE OPERATION
SENSEI 86036850 02/16/07
GENERAL INFORMATION
As the carpet is being cleaned, check to see
if there is foam building up in the recovery
bucket.
Add a little defoaming compound to the
recovery tank but never to the solution tank.
For infrequent use or long periods of
storage
, flush the system with a neutralizing
solution of 1 quart white vinegar mixed with 2
gallons hot water.
Flush the system with clean
hot water after neutralizing.
3-3
For hose fitting lubrication
, use a light silicone
lubricant which will not damage o-rings.
PROTECT THIS MACHINE FROM
FREEZING.
PRE-RUN INSPECTION
1. Check all fittings and connectors for proper
assembly.
2. Check all hoses for leaks. Repair or replace
any damaged hoses.
3. Check power cord(s) for any damage. If
damaged, replace.
EQUIPMENT SET-UP
1. Plug power cord from machine into properly
grounded wall outlet.
2. Turn vacuum motor switch on and off to
make sure there is electrical power at
machine.
3. Connect vac hose to machine. Slide the
swivel cuff over the outlet on the tank.
4. Connect the hose to your machine and
wand. Pull back the knurled collar on the
quick disconnect coupler (located on the
solution tank) and push into the connection.
To avoid leaks, check to be sure that a
positive connection was made.
5. Using a clean container, fill the solution tank
with clean hot water. Mix in a non-foaming
cleaning concentrate for use in hot water
extraction machines, following the
manufacture’s instructions printed on
container.
NOTE:
When using a powder cleaner, pre-mix
with hot water in a clean container before adding
to the solution tank.
6. Turn pump and vacuum switch(s) to the on
position.
7. Start
cleaning.
EMPTYING AND CLEANING
Always use defoamer if foaming occurs.
Foam will suspend large particles that may
damage vacuum(s) as well as allow liquid
into the vacuum motor(s) without activating
the float shutoff.
1. Before proceeding, make certain that the
nozzle is functioning properly.
a. To check, hold the wand about one foot
above the surface to be cleaned and
open the wand valve. A full spray should
be observed from the nozzle.
b. If the nozzle is not showing a full spray
pattern, adjust nozzle for proper pattern,
clean, or replace nozzle.
2. Normally, chemical is applied on the push
stroke of the wand when cleaning.
Vacuuming is done on the pull stroke. For
heavily soiled carpets the wand may be used
in a scrubbing manner, applying chemical in
both the push and pull stroke.
3. When cleaning, keep the working opening
(wand mouth) flat on the surface being
cleaned. Keep the wand moving when the
valve is open.
4. The shutoff float inside the vacuum tank will
impede the vacuum flow when the vacuum
tank is full. When this occurs, empty the
vacuum tank by opening the dump valve and
dispose of the waste in a proper manner.
5. Once the vacuum tank has been emptied,
you may once again proceed with cleaning
