OPERATING THE MACHINE

1 Follow the instructions in the Preparing the Machine for Use section of this manual.
2 Push down on the Brush Pressure Control Knob (20) to release the machine from the storage position.
3 Adjust the Variable Flow Control Knob (16) to high fl ow, low fl ow or accessory mode (Clean Track
Low Flow: Lower solution fl ow, recommended for frequent surface cleaning.
High Flow: Higher solution fl ow, recommended for less frequent deep cleaning.
Accessory: No solution fl ow from front nozzles.
4 Plug the machine into a properly grounded outlet. To start the vacuum motor, solution pump and brush motor...
Turn the Power & Extract / Accessory Switch (15) to the extract On (I) position (brush symbol). Turn the Main Power Switch (22) ON (I) on 230V models.
5 Adjust the brush pressure. Turn the Brush Pressure Control Knob (20) counter-clockwise to decrease the brush pressure and clockwise to increase the brush
pressure. The machine should assist, but not propel itself (on carpet) when the brush is properly adjusted.
6 Solution is dispensed in two ways.
• When the Solution Switch (14) is in the "constant" position, solution is dispensed continuously.
• When the Solution Switch (14) is in the "intermittent" position, solution is dispensed only while holding the switch.
7 Begin cleaning by pulling the machine along in a straight line and overlap each pass by 2 inches (5 cm). Release the Solution Switch (14) if holding it in
"intermittent" position or turn it off if in "constant" position prior to turns to ensure complete extraction of solution from carpet.
8 Watch the fl uid entering the Recovery Tank. If there is a large amount of suds in the recovery tank, add a defoamer chemical to the recovery tank.
CAUTION!
If there is little or no fl uid entering the recovery tank, check the Solution Drain Hose / Level Indicator (12), the solution tank may
be empty. Refi ll the solution tank with water and the proper ratio of cleaning chemical. Empty the recovery tank each time the
solution tank needs to be refi lled.
9 The recovery tank has an Automatic Float Shut-Off (4) to block the vacuum system when the recovery tank is full. You can tell when the fl oat closes by the
sudden change in the sound of the vacuum motor. When the fl oat closes, the recovery tank must be emptied. The machine can continue to dispense solution,
but will not pick up water with the fl oat closed.
10 When the operator wants to stop cleaning or the recovery tank is full, release or turn off the Solution Switch (14). Then turn the power switch Off (O) and unplug
the machine.
11 Push the machine to a designated waste water "DISPOSAL SITE" and empty the recovery tank. To empty, pull the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (18) from its rear
storage hanger, then remove the plug (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled fl ow of waste water). Refi ll the
solution tank and continue cleaning.
