Cleaning Your Carpet

Carpet Cleaning Tips

• Move furniture to another area if cleaning the entire room (optional).

• Vacuum area with a dry vacuum cleaner thoroughly before deep cleaning.

• Plan your cleaning route to leave an exit path. It is best to begin in the corner farthest from your exit.

• Pretreating is recommended to improve cleaning for heavily soiled carpet in high-traffic areas.

• Your machine has a circuit breaker that automatically shuts off the brush if a large or loose object gets caught in it. If that happens, unplug your machine, remove the object and plug machine in to reset the circuit breaker.

• You may notice hair and debris deposits on the carpet or in the tank that were loosened while cleaning (especially with newer carpets that have never been deep cleaned before). This debris should be picked up and thrown away.

1. Plug into a proper outlet.	2. Turn the power switch to the ON position.
3. Recline handle by pushing the green lever on the back of the machine down while pulling the handle back.	4. Make cleaning passes until solution being pulled up appears clean. For best results, overlap passes to avoid streaks in your carpet. Step One: Hold Spray Trigger • 1 pass forward • 1 pass back Step Two: Release Spray Trigger • 1 pass forward • 1 pass back

Cleaning with Attachments

Upholstery Cleaning Tips

• Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning. “W” or “WS” on the tag means you can use your deep cleaning machine. If the tag is coded with an “X” or an “S” (with a diagonal stripe through it) or says “Dry Clean Only”, do not proceed with any deep cleaning machine. Do not use on velvet or silk. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer.

• Check for colorfastness in an inconspicuous place.

• If possible, check upholstery stuffing. Colored stuffing may bleed through fabric when wet.

• Vacuum thoroughly to pick up loose debris and pet hair. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment and a crevice tool to clean in fabric folds.

1. Open hose latch on the front of the machine.	2. Insert small tube into the cleaning solution connection.
3. Insert the large hose and turn clockwise until it locks into place.	4. Attach desired cleaning tool to the end of the hose.
5. Clean by pressing the red trigger to spray solution onto the area to be cleaned. Slowly move the tool back and forth over the soiled surface. Caution: Do not overwet.	6. Release the trigger to suction soiled water. Continue to clean in the area, working in small sections, until no more dirt can be removed.

Emptying the Dirty Water Tank

1. To remove the dirty water tank, lift the tank handle straight up. Carry the tank like a bucket to a utility sink or outside where you will dispose of the dirty water.	2. Unlatch the top of the tank from the bottom by pushing the handle all the way forward and lifting the top off. Pour dirty water into the sink.
3. Rinse both parts of the dirty water tank with warm tap water. The top half of the tank can be rinsed clean through the nozzle area.

Cleaning the Hose & Tools

1. Remove attachments from the hose and rinse them clean under running water. Set them aside to dry.	2. Remove the hose from the machine and run tap water run through both ends.

Maintaining the Brush Roll & Belt

1. Turn OFF the machine and unplug it from the outlet. Remove the dirty and clean water tanks from the machine.	2. While standing behind the machine, lay it on its side. Looking at the bottom of machine, find the carriage latch in the back center of the brush carriage. It’s between the brush assembly and the front wheels.
3. Pull brush carriage out, towards you, with one hand and pinch the latch with your other. The carriage should swing out to access belt cover.	4. Remove three screws from cover.
5. Lift and remove to access brush carriage.	6. Turn the belt inward towards the large pulley while lifting out.
7. Place new belt over small pulley first and then slip the belt over the large pulley. Note: Test the brush roll to make sure it spins freely before moving to the next step	8. Replace the brush carriage and screws.
9. Push brush carriage back into place making sure the carriage latch locks back into place.

Removing & Replacing the Brush Roll

1. Remove three screws from endcap. Pull endcap off to release brush roll. The brush comes out easily by tilting the loose end out of the carriage.	2. To replace the brush roll, put the large open end of the brush onto the carriage and tilt the opposite end back into place. Use a cloth to wipe debris from brush roll chamber.
3. With the brush sitting relatively straight up and down by itself, place endcap back on top and replace three screws. Hold the brush center to the cover while placing it back on.	4. Spin the brush by hand to make sure it turns freely with some minor resistance from the motor. Push brush carriage back into place.
