CARPET INSPECTION:
Determine precisely what areas you are going to
clean. Note problem areas in the carpet or tack
strip. Look for loose carpet, heavily damaged areas,
discolored stains, or grease spots that will require
prespotting. Note the carpet type. Check the
availability of hot water, drains, and suitable
electrical outlets. If the carpet is loose or worn, have
it repaired before attempting to clean it.
Plan the cleaning route, work from the most remote
area towards the exit. Try not to travel over the
cleaned areas when getting fresh water or dumping
old. Furniture should be moved out away from the
walls before cleaning. If furniture is moved back in
place before carpet is completely dry, place plastic
or foil protectors under the legs to prevent possible
carpet staining. When possible use a Windblower
(WB3) and open all windows and doors to speed
carpet drying.

GENERAL INFORMATION:
On heavily soiled carpets, or on areas of high
foot traffic, it may be necessary to use a prespray
or traffic lane cleaner applied with a Pro-Spray. Do
not add presprays to the machine's solution tank. If
a spotter is used, follow the manufacturer's
instructions exactly as printed on the label. Remove
the spotter with the floor tool when done, spotter left
in the carpet may bleach or brown it permanently.
As the carpet is being cleaned, check to see if
there is foam building up in the recovery bucket.
Add a little defoaming compound to the recovery
tank but never to the solution tank.
For infrequent use or long periods of storage,
flush the system with a neutralizing solution of 1
quart white vinegar mixed with 2 gallons hot water.
Flush the system with clean hot water after
neutralizing.
For hose fitting lubrication, use a light silicone
lubricant which will not damage o-rings.
PROTECT THIS MACHINE FROM FREEZING.
EQUIPMENT SET-UP:
1. Plug power cable from machine into properly
grounded wall outlet.
2. Turn vacuum motor switch on and off to make

temperature must not exceed 140 F (60C).
6. Add a non-foaming cleaning solution
concentrate, for use in hot water extractors at
the proportions noted on the container (See list
below), into solution tank. NOTE: When using
powder cleaner, pre-mix with hot water in a
clean container before adding to the solution
tank.
