Before You Begin
Review machine safety warnings found in
the front of this manual. Using a normal dry
vacuum cleaner, vacuum the area you want
to clean to remove loose dirt before using
the Rug Doctor machine. This will help
keep the brushes and water vacuum system
working efciently. Pre-treat any special
problem areas with appropriate Rug Doctor
solutions. For example, use Urine Eliminator
on tough pet stains and other bio-origin
stains.
Set Up
Check the back of the machine to ensure
hose connections are secure and set to
clean carpet instead of upholstery (ILLUS.1)
Lift up on the recovery latch and raise dome
hood (ILLUS.2). Remove the recovery tank.
Depending on how dirty your carpets are,
add 2oz- 4oz (1/4 to 1/2) cup of Rug Doctor
Oxy-Steam® Carpet Cleaner product per
gallon of hot tap water in a clean bucket
(ILLUS.3). Use caution to insure water is not
so hot as to scald or burn skin.
The lower tank capacity for the Rug Doctor
Mighty Pro X3™ is 3 gallons. Fill the lower
tank with the Rug Doctor Oxy-Steam®
Cleaning solution by pouring through the
white lter screen. Machine is full when
liquid halfway covers the lter screen
(ILLUS.4). Replace recovery tank and close
the dome hood (ILLUS.2).
Plug in the power cord and position the
machine. Refer to the label on the side of
the handle. Slide the switch to the “Carpet”
position for carpet cleaning (ILLUS.5).

Start Cleaning
While depressing the press for spray red button
on the top of the handle (ILLUS.6), pull the
machine slowly and steadily backward in a
straight line, keeping vacuum slot against the
carpet surface. On lightly soiled carpets you can
pull the machine quickly at one foot per second.
For moderately, or heavily soiled carpets, pull
the machine at approximately one foot every two
seconds. You will begin to see soiled solution
entering the clear dome. (If you don’t, stop and
refer to the Troubleshooting section).
IMPORTANT: When depressing the press for
spray red button, keep machine moving so the
vibrating brush does not agitate in one place
(ILLUS.7).
Release the red button 6 to 12 inches before
ending each pass to stop cleaning solution. Tilt
machine back and push it forward to start a new
backward cleaning pass (ILLUS.8).
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 (ILLUS.9).
Rinse the recovery tank and rell the lower tank
with clean solution/water mixture using a clean
bucket. If you are near the end of your cleaning
job, ll the lower tank half full so it empties by
the end of your job. Replace the recovery tank.
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, please refer to the
Maintaining Your Rug Doctor Machine section.
