How This Machine Works
This carpet extractor is an electrical powered, self
contained portable carpet extractor intended for
commercial use. The appliance sprays a cleaning
solution onto the carpet, agitates the wet carpet and
then extracts the soiled solution back into the unit's
recovery tank. The appliance is usable with an optional
hand tool for cleaning upholstery and stairs.
The machine is also designed to restore your carpet
using carpet extraction chemicals.
The machine is designed to apply cleaning solution
onto carpeted floor, scrub the carpet with its brush, and
then vacuum the soiled water back into the recovery
tank.
The machine is designed to maintain your carpet using
the Encapsulating Interim Carpet Cleaning Process. By
using the Interim Carpet Maintainer in conjunction with
Windsor Red Carpet Encapsulating Interim Cleaning
(W450-4) or Encapsulating Interim Cleaning with
Carpet Protection (W455-4) chemical solution, you can
perform a regular light cleaning and grooming of your
carpet very quickly, and have the carpet dry and ready
for traffic within 30 minutes.
The machine's primary systems are the solution
system, scrub system, recovery system and operator
control system.
The function of the solution system is to store mixed
solution and deliver solution to the appropriate spray
jet(s) or port. The solution system consists of the
solution tank, strainer, pump, solenoid valves, spray
jets and accessory port. The solution tank stores the
water and chemical solution The strainer protects the
system from debris. The solution pump moves the
cleaning solution flow. The solenoids control the
direction of the solution flow. The jets deliver the
solution to the floor. The accessory port allows connec-
tion to a hand tool.

The function of the scrub system is to scrub the carpet,
mix the cleaning solution with the soil and lift and groom
the carpet pile. The scrub system consists of a cylin-
drical brush and a motor. The brush scrubs the carpet
as the motor drives the brush. The floating brush allows
for the proper amount of agitation given various carpet
types and brush wear.
The function of the recovery system is to vacuum the
soiled water back into the recovery tank. The recovery
system consists of the vacuum shoe, vacuum motor,
float ball filter and recovery tank. The vacuum shoe
extracts the dirty solution from the carpet as the
machine moves forward. The vacuum motor provides
suction to draw the dirty solution off the floor and into
the recovery tank. The float ball filter protects the
vacuum fan from debris and foam. The recovery tank
stores the dirty solution.
The function of the operator control system is to allow
the operator to select the desired function to perform.
This appliance is not suitable for picking up hazardous
dust.
