To prepare the machine for operation, follow this
procedure:
1. Before moving the extractor onto the carpet, put
clean hot water into the solution tank. The solution
tank capacity is approximately four gallons.
2. Add two to ten ounces of "Clarkare
®
Extractor
concentrate" per every one gallon of water, depend-
ing on carpet condition.
3. If the extractor removes an excess amount of foam
from the carpet, add a defoamer such as Clarkare
®
Defoamer Concentrate to the recovery tank. The
amount needed will change according to the
amount of detergent already in the carpet.
CAUTION: Do not leave the extractor or
other cleaning machines or
tools on the carpet when not in
use. Cleaning solution in the
machines and tools can leak
onto the carpet and cause light
spots or stains.
