IMPORTANT! When
depressing the "press for
spray" (red) button, keep
machine moving so the
vibrating brush does not
agitate in one place.
(See Figure 8)
2. Release the red button 6-12"
before ending each pass to
stop cleaning solution. Tilt
machine back and push
it forward to start a new
backward cleaning pass.
(See Figure 9)
3. Continue cleaning in this manner, overlapping
each pass slightly. When the lower tank runs out of
cleaning solution, the pump sound will increase in
volume slightly and dirty water will stop entering the
dome. Switch the machine to "0" for the off position.
Remove and empty the recovery tank by pouring
dirty solution into a toilet or outdoors.
4. Rinse the recovery tank and use a clean bucket
to refill the lower tank with a clean solution/water
mixture. If nearing the end of the cleaning job, fill
the lower tank half full, so it is empty by the end of
the job. Replace the recovery tank.
5. Continue the cleaning process until area to be
cleaned is covered. When cleaning is complete,
switch the machine to "0" for the off position. To
drain and clean the machine, refer to the Care and
Storage section on page 7.

START CLEANING
1. Test upholstery for colorfastness by first cleaning a
small, hidden area, then rubbing the test area with
a white paper towel. If no color appears, continue
cleaning. A little color on the towel means there is
some chance of color running, but it is likely it can
still be cleaned safely. Try using cool or cold water
and test again with a white paper towel.
2. Working at a slow, steady
pace, begin cleaning by
squeezing the hand tool
lever as the tool is pulled
over fabric. Overlap strokes
slightly. (See Figure 14)
