CLEANING CARPET CONTINUED
10. keep nozzle flat on floor for both forward and
reverse strokes. For heavily soiled areas, repeat.
To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more than
4 wet strokes over one area. Always end with dry
strokes. It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes
as described above. For best cleaning results and
to aid in faster drying of carpet, end with more dry
strokes. (Continue using dry strokes until little water is
visible passing through the recovery tank lid.)
11. Empty recovery tank when the motor sound
becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in
suction. (See Figures 24-27)
12. When finished cleaning, follow
"
After cleaning
"
instructions below.
AFTER CLEANING
1. Allow carpet to dry. To help prevent matting and
resoiling the carpet, keep children and pets away
from carpet until completely dry. If it is necessary to
walk on damp carpet, place towels or white cloths
on the traffic areas. If furniture must be replaced
before the carpet is dry, use plastic or aluminum foil
pads under legs of furniture so metal slides or wood
finishes will not stain the carpet.
2. If desired, the carpet may be rinsed. Rinsing is not
necessary for cleaning, but it may improve the
surface's appearance after it is dry. If rinsing is
desired, be careful not to over wet the carpet.
Allow time for carpet to dry completely between
cleaning and rinsing. To rinse, follow the same
procedure for cleaning only using hot tap water
with no detergent in the upper clean solution tank.
3. Empty tanks, rinse with clear water and let air dry.
4. Remove debris from recovery tank filter and rinse
with clean water.
NOTE: If the filter must be removed for cleaning,
it is easier to replace if the filter is wet.
5. If desired, vacuum thoroughly after carpet has
completely dried. This will help reduce any shading
left by the cleaner's brushes.
CLEANING THE NOzzLE
If lint or other debris becomes lodged in the nozzle,
do not attempt to remove nozzle cover. Pour one to two
cups of clear water on a non-carpeted floor.
NOTE: Do not pour water onto a wood floor.
Pick up the water with the spotter/carpet cleaner.
Repeat as necessary until debris is flushed out of nozzle.
To clean the outside of the machine, wipe off dirt with a
cloth dampened in warm water and mild detergent.
WArNING! Do not use solvent or petroleum-
based products to clean the machine.
