EQUIPMENT SETUP
NOTE:
Vacuum the carpet and make sure it is cleared of
surface debris before cleaning with the POWER ESCORT.
NOTE: Attach strain relief/cord retainer to the power cord.
1.
Make a loop in power cord
approximately 12” from twist
lock receptacle end.
2.
Slide cord loop through slot in
retainer arm. Pull slack cord back
through slot to secure. Attach
retainer to handle.
3.
Plug power cable from machine
into properly grounded wall outlet.
4.
Using a clean container, fill
solution tank with hot water.
CAUTION:
To avoid possible distortion of poly–
ethylene solution recovery tanks, DO NOT USE
WATER TEMPERATURE THAT EXCEEDS 150 F (65
C). The maximum capacity of the POWER ESCORT
is 7 gallons. Mix in a non foaming cleaning con
centrate for use in hot water extraction machines at
the proportions noted on the container for various
carpet soil conditions.
NOTE: When using a powder cleaner, premix with hot water in
clean container before adding to solution tank.
OPERATING THE ESCORT
NOTE: Vacuum the carpet and make sure it is cleared of sur-
face debris before starting the cleaning process.
NOTE: Pump Priming: If the machine has been in storage or
the pump runs dry – air entrapment within the solution line can
occur. This is alleviated by depressing the tip of the auxiliary
nipple momentarily while the pump is running.

1.
Dispense solution by using either the continuous flow
switch for cleaning smaller more confined areas. Switch
on power brush, depress pedal to Lower brush head
assembly. Walking backwards move the machine over
the area to be cleaned. Turn solution off about 8 inches
before the end of each pass to insure all solution is re–
moved from the carpet. When through cleaning depress
pedal to Raise brush head assembly. Switch off vac and
brush switches.
WARNING:
Do not leave power brush running when
machine is not in cleaning mode. Damage to carpet could
occur.
2.
As you work, check to see if there is a foam buildup
in the recovery tank. If there is a foam buildup, turn
the machine off and add the recommended amount
of a defoaming solution to the recovery tank.
NOTE: Never put defoamer in the solution tank.
WARNING:
An overflow of foam into the vacuum intake
can damage the vac motor. Always be aware of the waste
water level in the recovery tank. When the tank is about
three quarters full, turn off the machine, remove drain
hose from keeper and empty dirty water into bucket or
floor drain.
3.
When machine runs out of cleaning solution, turn off the
machine and refill the solution tank. Turn machine on
and continue cleaning process.
