PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE
FILL THE SOLUTION TANK

Lift the front Solution Fill Cover off the machine.

Read the dilution instructions on the chemical container. Then figure the proper amount
of chemical to mix with 25 gallons (94.5 liters) of water. For best results, use the
Advance CarpeTeam™ Extraction Cleaner chemical specially formulated for use with
Advance carpet extractors.
3.
Pour the chemical in the solution tank and fill the tank with warm water to 1-3/4 inches
below the inside edge of the opening.
4.
Put the Solution Fill Cover back on the machine.
CAUTION!
Use only low-sudsing, liquid detergents designed for carpet extraction.
PRE-SPRAY THE CARPET
Pre-spray spots and heavy traffic areas before extracting. Use a hand-held bottle sprayer
or a pressurized “Hudson” type sprayer. Mix the pre-spray according to the chemical
manufacturer’s directions. For best results, use the Advance CarpeTeam™ Pre-Spray
chemical specially formulated for use with Advance carpet extractors.
PLAN FOR CLEANING
Before you begin extracting, look at the area to be cleaned and plan your work. Divide the
space into sections. Overlap each pass 2 inches (5 cm).
