OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - CARPET TOOL
1. Turn on the vacuum and solution switches. Slowly pull the tool towards you with the solution
valve trigger engaged. Do not overwet carpet! Make overlapping passes to prevent streaking.
2. When you run out of solution, turn off the switches. Disconnect vacuum hose from recovery tank.
Unfasten latches and lift recovery tank off solution tank. Drain recovery tank completely and flush it
several times with clean water to remove all dirt and prevent odor build-up.
3. 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 as before. Tip solution tank upside down over a
sink to drain the unused cleaning solution.
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 colorfastness. 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 (see preparing the machine).
2. 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 plastic tool 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.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
1. Always keep the machine clean inside and out.
2. Pour 1 quart of clean hot water in the solution tank. Turn the pump on and flush the entire system
through the wand nozzles for about a minute to prevent alkaline build-up.
3. Remove dirt and lint build-up inside the circular filter screen located between the recovery and solution
tanks. Lint should be cleaned off so that air flow is not impeded.
4. Check the solution tank strainers in the solution tank. If lint has accumulated on the screens, remove
and rinse them in clear running water.
