SETUP
NOTE: Before cleaning, review machine safety
warnings found in the front of these instructions.
Using a normal dry vacuum cleaner, vacuum
to remove loose dirt before using this machine.
This will help keep the brushes and water
vacuum system working efficiently. Pre-treat
any special problem areas with appropriate
Rug Doctor
®
solutions.
1. Check the back of the
machine to ensure hose
connections are secure and
set to "clean carpet" instead
of "upholstery". (See Figure 2)
2. Lift up on the recovery latch
and raise dome hood to
remove the recovery tank.
(See Figure 3)
3. Depending on how dirty
carpets are, add 2-4 oz.
(1/4-1/2 cup) of Rug Doctor
®
Oxy Carpet Cleaner
(Uline model # S-25570)
product per gallon of hot tap
water in a clean bucket.
(See Figure 4)
CAUTION! Ensure water is not so hot as to scald
or burn skin.
4. The lower tank capacity is
three gallons. Fill the lower
tank with the Rug Doctor®
Oxy Cleaning solution by
pouring through the white filter
screen. Machine is full when
liquid halfway covers the filter
screen. (See Figure 5)
5. Replace recovery tank and close the dome hood.
6. Plug in the power cord and
position the machine. Refer to
the label on the side of the
handle. Slide the switch to the
"Carpet" position for carpet
cleaning. (See Figure 6)
START CLEANING
1. While depressing the red
"press for spray" button on
top of the handle, pull the
machine slowly and steadily
backward in a straight line,
keeping vacuum slot against
the carpet surface.
(See Figure 7)
NOTE: For lightly soiled carpets, pull the
machine quickly at one foot per second. For
moderately or heavily soiled carpets, pull the
machine at approximately one foot every two
seconds. User will begin to see soiled solution
entering the clear dome. (If not, stop and refer
to the Troubleshooting section on pages 7-9).
