Cleaning Upholstery

This is done in the same way as carpet cleaning except using the upholstery tool in place of the wand assembly.  Cleaning is achieved 

using a gentle dragging motion of the upholstery tool over the material.

• 

An inconspicuous area of the item to be cleaned should always be tested for color fastness prior to cleaning.  Should doubt exist 

as to the suitability of the fabric for wet cleaning, the chemical manufacturer should be consulted for advice.

• 

Loose cushions should be removed and cleaned separately.

• 

Care should be taken to avoid over-wetting the fabric.

When Cleaning is Finished

Draining and Cleaning

• 

Before removing the spray hose, pressure in the system must be released.  With the pump switched off, hold the spray nozzle over 

the removable recovery tank and squeeze the spray trigger until the remaining solution has been released.  The spray hose can 

now be disconnected.

• 

After use,  check that both solution tanks are empty.

• 

Empty the solution tank and rinse.

• 

Empty the recovery tank and rinse clean.

• 

Rinse both tanks out with clean water before storing the machine.

• 

Clean nozzles and hoses.

Storage

• 

Always unplug, empty, wipe down and dry the machine after use.

• 

Wrap supply cord around the handle of the machine ensuring that the plug is not trailing on the floor.  Store the machine in a dry 

indoor area only.

Maintenance

WARNING – Before undertaking maintenance operations or adjustments, switch off machine and unplug from the electricity supply.

The machine requires minimum maintenance apart from the following checks by the operator.

• 

Supply cord – Regularly inspect sheath, plug and cord anchorage for damage or loose connection.

• 

Solution tank – Check filters are clean and undamaged.  A damaged or missing filter must be replaced or damage to pump head 

and spray jet may occur.

• 

Vacuum filter – Check the vacuum filter is cleaned and replaced as appropriate.

• 

Vacuum head – Check and remove and debris or lint build-up from the head.

• 

Spray jet – Check jet for blockage and full spray pattern.  Blow through jet to clean.  Do not use a pin, as this could damage the 

jet.
