YOUR NEW MACHINE:
When you receive your machine, examine the
packaging for signs of shipping damage. Carefully
unpack the machine and inspect it. If you see
evidence of damage to the container or the
contents, contact the freight carrier immediately.
Additionally, ensure all parts and accessories are
present; if you notice anything missing, contact your
distributor without delay.
NORMAL USE:
The EZ Spot is designed to clean small areas like
furniture, area rugs, automobiles, and spots in
carpets. These machines are not suited for cleaning
the carpet in an entire room.
CHEMICALS:
The use of powder chemicals is discouraged;
unless they are mixed very thoroughly and rinsed
out completely at the end of the job, powdered
cleaners could cause a build-up in the pump,
lines, heater and/or quick disconnect. Any
problem caused by a chemical build-up is not
covered by warranty.
The use of clear water in the machine is
recommended, within the application of properly
diluted cleaner as a pre-spray on the area to be
cleaned; however, you may mix water and
cleaning chemicals in a bucket -- according to
directions on the chemical label -- and then pour
into the solution tank. If you chose to use
chemicals in the machine, always use a cleaner
with a pH as close to neutral as possible to avoid
premature wear of the pump, seals, and/or other
components. Damage caused by the use of strong
chemicals is not covered by the warranty.
TOOLS & ACCESSORIES:
Use only manufacturer’s recommended tools and
accessories. Our custom hand tool is rotational
molded and will provide years of trouble-free use.
If the spray valve on your cleaning tool begins to
leak or if the spray tips get worn and are no longer
providing a nice even spray pattern, order
replacements.
The solution line and vacuum hose are made of
durable and long-lasting components and, with
proper care, they both should last for years. Use a
spray silicone to keep the quick connect couplings
moving freely.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
For continual peak operation, clean the internal
plumbing by rinsing with clear water at the end
of each job. About once a month, rinse the
machine with a commercial flushing compound
to break-up any mineral or chemical
accumulation that may have formed from the use
of hard water or chemicals.
The vacuum motor and the pump do not require
any scheduled maintenance; however, the vacuum
motor may require replacement brushes after 700-
1000 hours.
To help maintain a professional image; clean the
exterior of the machine with an all purpose
detergent, and protect it with automobile interior
polish. Lubricate the wheels, castors, and quick
disconnects with an all purpose, silicone spray.
If foaming occurs as you clean, use a defoamer,
either in the recovery tank or on the area being
cleaned, to prevent overflow which can cause water
damage to machine components.
