OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - CARPET TOOL
1. Turn on the vacuum and solution switches. Slowly pull the tool towards you
with the solution valve trigger engaged. Then make a pass forward and
backward with the vacuum only (no spray) over the cleaned area to remove
as much dirt and solution as possible. Do not overwet carpet! Make
overlapping passes to prevent streaking.
2. If the carpet is heavily soiled, squeeze solution valve lever on the forward
pass as well as backwards, allowing cleaning solution a few seconds longer
to work prior to vacuuming. Another method is to raise the wand 8" above the
carpet and pre-spray lightly prior to cleaning passes. On extremely soiled
carpets, we recommend using a pre-spray solution.
3. When you run out of solution, turn off the pump. Attach the drain elbow on the
drain valve. Place a pail under the downspout and pull up the drain valve
T-handle. Dirty solution will pour out until the tank is empty. Close the drain
valve. Use a clean bucket when you refill the solution tank.
4. When the job is completed, turn the switches off, disconnect the vacuum and
solution hoses from the carpet tool and the machine. Drain the recovery tank
through the drain valve as before.
CLEANING UPHOLSTERY
Cleaning upholstery with success requires a good knowledge of the type of fabric to be
worked on. Look for the cleaning instruction label sewn on the underside of the furniture for
the recommended method of cleaning the fabric. If it calls for dry cleaning, do not attempt to
clean with the wet extraction method. Otherwise, damage to the fabric could occur. Extraction
works perfectly on most synthetic fabrics including synthetic velvets.
Before proceeding, test the fabric for color fastness. Apply a small amount of ready-to-use
cleaning solution on the fabric in an inconspicuous spot. Wait for 2 to 3 minutes and rub the
area with a white terry cloth towel. If no color comes off the towel, the fabric should be safe to
clean. If a little color comes off, there is some risk of colors running when you clean. It may be
possible to stabilize colors by cleaning with an acidic rinse.
1. Prepare the machine in the same manner as for carpet (see preparing the
machine) cleaning except attach the upholstery tool to the vacuum hose. Connect
the solution hose. Pour hot water into the solution tank. Add recommended amount
of cleaning concentrate into the solution tank. Turn on the vacuum and pump
switches.
2. Adjust the pump “operating pressure” to 50 psi or below for upholstery cleaning
(See pare 3 PREPARING THE MACHINE items 8 and 9).
3. Clean with the upholstery tool using as little solution as possible. Make overlapping
passes to prevent streaking. Go over the area you just cleaned without depressing the
lever (vacuum only) and gauge the amount of moisture extracted through the view window
for dryness. On heavily soiled areas like arm rests, pre-treat with a recommended pre-
spray and /or hold the upholstery tool a few inches above the fabric and press lever to
spray on the solution before making a pass.
