OPERATION
MACHINE OPERATION - ROTARY
CONTROLS
There are three switches installed in the dash panel
located on the main handle assembly. Place vacuum
switch in the on position. Next, turn on “Power Head”.
For solution output, activate either the “Continuous
Spray” switch or squeeze solution trigger (Figure 7).
The “power head” switch causes the rotary head to
turn.
MANEUVERABILITY
The ease of handling the Express is a direct result of
the rotary extractor head. Its natural cleaning motion
provides the “drive” for the unit. The slightest push or
pull against the handle causes the rotating head to
produce a pulling force in the forward direction or a
pushing force in the backward direction (Figure 8).
The movement of the handle causes the rotary head
to tilt and apply a slight pressure on either the left side
or the right side of the head. If the tilt angle is too
much, the vacuum seal to the carpet will break and
this will adversely affect solution recovery. There is an
adjustment knob under the machine that allows the
operator to increase or decrease this angle (Figure 9).
Turning the knob clockwise increases the amount of
tilt.
The large tires in the front and the swivel casters in
the rear of the Express allow the machine to easily
pivot and glide in and out of tight places.
CLEANING PATTERN
To achieve maximum results, move the Express with
back-and-forth motions while overlapping preceding
passes by 25 to 50 percent (Figure 10). The more
soiled the area to be cleaned, the slower the speed of
the cleaning passes. This allows the machine more
time to work. After cleaning an area approximately six
feet square, release the “momentary lever” switch or
turn off the “continuous spray” switch and make
vacuum-only “dry passes” over the area just cleaned.
This will assure maximum water removal and a faster
drying time.
WHILE OPERATING
1. Periodically check for excessive foam buildup in
recovery tank. Use a recommended foam control
solution to prevent vacuum motor damage.
Warning Flammable materials or reactive
metals can cause and explosion or fire.
Do not pick up.
2. To clean heavily soiled areas, repeat cleaning
path from a different direction.
3. Empty recovery tank every time water is added to
solution tank.
