EXTRACTION CLEANING PROCEDURE

Before returning your machine please follow the directions below for proper cleaning.

1. With solution tank full and all hoses appropriately attached, activate the vacuum switch to "on" position then activate pump switch to "on" position.
   
   
2. Start in area of the room opposite from where you want to end.
   
   
3. Place wand about 4 feet in front of you.
   
   
4. Activate solution spray handle on wand.
   
   
5. Laying down an even spray of solution, pull the wand back towards you slowly.
   
   
6. Release the solution spray handle and move the wand slowly forward over the same area just cleaned to recover additional solution left behind. Repeat this process several times depending on the degree of carpet soiling then move over the width of the wand, overlapping slightly to prevent streaking. For best results, work in approximately 4 foot wide sections and always be sure to remove as much solution from the carpet as possible as this will minimize drying time.
   
   
7. When solution tank is empty and needs refilling, shut system down and repeat step 1 under the heading of "Set Up Procedure".
   
   
8. Remove, empty and replace recovery holding tank. (#2)
   Note: Always empty the recovery tank at the smame time you refill the Solution tank.
   
   
9. Add more defoamer into the recovery holding tank.
   Note: With solution tank full and recovery tank empty, the system is now ready to continue cleaning. Continue the process until cleaning is complete.

SYSTEM CLEAN-UP

When the carpet cleaning process is complete, it's time to clean the system. De-activate all switches to "off" position.

2. Empty solution tank.
   
   • To empty solution tank of unused solution, activate vacuum switch to "on" position.
     
     
   • With vacuum hose still connected and vacuum running, drop the end of the vacuum hose opposite the end plugged into the vacuum inlet down through solution tank fill hole (#3) and SLOWLY remove the unused solution from the solution tank until empty. The system will transfer the solution to the recovery holding tank for disposal. In the process, the solution clean out the inside of the hose.
