CLEANING TIPS

•

Check the condition of the area to be cleaned. Look

for loose carpet, heavily soiled areas, stains or spots

and worn areas. Bring these to the attention of the

person in charge before performing the cleaning job.

Make sure all edges of the carpet are securely tacked

in place and all seams are sewn ( or glued) tight. This

is your protection against shrinkage.

•

Locate an inconspicuous spot on the area to be

cleaned. Test carpet for colorfastness before pro-

ceeding. Pour the concentrated cleaning solution on

the spot, cover with a white towel and place a heavy

object on top to absorb the cleaning solution. Wait

approximately 10 minuets for any reaction to take

place. Remove weight. If there is no color transfer, it

should be safe to clean. Apply this procedure if dif-

ferent color-texture carpet is seen in adjacent rooms

or areas to be cleaned.

•

Remove the furniture from the area to be cleaned.

Large pieces can be moved to opposite end of the

room from where you start cleaning and replaced

when it is completed. After cleaning carpet, place a

small square of aluminum foil under the furniture

legs to prevent moisture from damaging the finish

and avoid dye and rust from transferring to the car-

pet.

•

Clean the area with an upright vacuum. DO NOT

USE THIS MACHINE AS A DRY VACUUM! Heav-

ily soiled carpet or areas of concentrated foot traffic

should be treated with recommended pre-spotting

or pre-spray chemicals. If a spotter is used, follow

label directions exactly. Do not allow any spotter or

prespray to dry on the carpet as it may damage the

carpet permanently.

•

Identify the type of carpet fiber to be cleaned. Most

commercial carpet fibers in use are acrylic or nylon

based. Best results in cleaning would be obtained if

hot water is used to clean these fibers. On the other

hand, hot water would shrink natural fiber carpet-

ing, like wool and cotton in particular. Exercise

caution when cleaning natural fibers by using cool

water, testing for colorfastness and applying the least

amount of cleaning solution possible.

•

Plan your cleaning route. Start cleaning at the far-

thest point away from where you plugged the ma-

chine and work back towards the outlet so that the

cord will not get in the way.

TO CLEAN CARPET:

PREPARE THE MACHINE

1. Make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position and all

hoses are connected. Using only approved cleaning

solution, mix according to the bottle instructions

and pour in the smaller opening of the bucket. Pay

attention to the fill level labels. To reduce foaming,

pour 2 ounces of defoamer into the recovery bladder.

Place bucket onto machine and close lid.

2. TO CLEAN

Turn switch to "CARPET" position. While pushing

the "ACTIVATE" switch, pull the machine as you

step backwards. Release the "ACTIVATE" switch 6

inches before ending a stroke. Repeat cleaning stroke

with 3" overlaps. Continue until cleaning solution is

consumed. Empty and rinse bucket. Repeat steps 1

and 2.

3. CHECK BUCKET LID

If excessive foam appears in the lid, add 2 ounces

of defoamer or empty and rinse the bucket. Repeat

steps I and 2.

4. CLEAN MACHINE BEFORE RETURNING

Clean the lid filter screen and rinse out bucket. Wipe

all surfaces including the bottom of machine. Re-

move carpet lint and strings from brush and vacuum

nozzle.
