Powr-Flite PFX3S, Руководство оператора и списки запасных частей, Страница: 6 / 8

1) Prepare room for cleaning, moving furniture as need to
provide a clear working area. Cover bottoms of furniture
legs where possible. (Aluminum foil or foam blocks are
ideal for this purpose.) Pin up curtains and drapes.
2) Gather cleaning supplies: a clean, suitable sized bucket,
carpet cleaning solution, such as Powr-Flite’s Kold-Powr,
defoamer solution such as Powr-Flite’s Powr-Defoamer,
and pretreat solutions for heavily soiled traffic areas such
as Powr-Flite’s Fast Lane.
3) Disconnect vacuum hose from recovery tank and lift the
RECOVERY TANK off of the SOLUTION TANK.
4) Measure carpet cleaning solution, per manufacturers rec-
ommended ratio, into the SOLUTION TANK and fill with
hot water. DO NOT use the RECOVERY TANK to fill the
SOLUTION TANK. Debris remaining in the tank could
damage the pump or block the jet. WARNING: DO NOT
exceed water temperature of 150º (65º C).
5) Replace RECOVERY TANK on machine. Add defoamer
solution, per manufacturer’s instructions as needed, in
RECOVERY TANK.
6) Replace the transparent cover on the RECOVERY TANK
and connect the vacuum hose to the front of the
RECOVERY TANK.
7) Pre-treat heavily soiled carpet areas as required.
PRE-OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS for PFX3S
NOTE - FOR COLOR FASTNESS: Before using carpet clean-
ing chemicals, test on an inconspicuous part of the carpet for
color fastness. Place the solution on a small piece of clean
white cloth or tissue. Rub the carpet area vigorously with the
cleaning chemical. Excessive amounts of dye showing on the
material would indicate that the colors are not colorfast, and
should not be wet cleaned.

OPERATION OF SELF-CONTAINED CARPET CLEANER
1) Plug the power cord into an outlet. WARNING: This machine must be properly grounded. See Grounding
Instructions on page 4 for additional information.
2) Press the VACUUM switch “on” and the BRUSH switch to the “right” position. See FIG C for a diagram on opera-
tional switches.
3) To clean the carpet, squeeze and hold the SOLUTION LEVER (FIG A) to apply the cleaning solution, pulling the
machine backwards at the same time. Stop spraying the solution approximately 12 inches (30 cm) before the end
of your pass, so that the extractor will vacuum up all of the solution. Slightly overlap the next cleaning pass to
prevent streaking. To avoid overwetting, it is recommended that a maximum of only two wet passes (spraying solu-
tion) be done. One dry pass without spraying solution will also aid in drying time. After a few passes, check the
RECOVERY TANK to verify that no foam is present. Add extra defoamer if necessary.
4) Empty the RECOVERY TANK when it is approximately 3/4 full. Do not refill the SOLUTION TANK without emptying
all of the contents of the RECOVERY TANK first.
