MACHINE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Recommendations for Best Wash-n-Rinse Cleaning Rate
1.
Vacuum carpet thoroughly before cleaning.
2.
Precondition spots, stains and any high traffic areas as
needed.
3.
Clean carpet by following the instructions in this section.
See "How to Operate the Machine".
4.
After cleaning, dry carpets by using ALTO/Clarke
Technology's Direct Air carpet dryer or by using fans.
Windows should be open or air conditioning running if
possible to assist in proper drying.
How To Clean An Area Of Carpet (See Figure 2)
To clean an area of carpet, follow this procedure:
1.
Turn the vacuum/accessory/switch to the "I" position.
2.
To adjust brush height, place brush adjusting rod in the
position that corresponds to your carpet type. Proper
adjustment is with approximatley 1/8" bristle engagement.
NOTE: Incorrect brush height may cause circuit breaker
to trip. Raise brush and reset circuit breaker.
3.
Turn the spray/brush switch to the "I" position (or for
intermittent use, press and hold the spray/brush switch to
the "II" position). With the switch activated, slowly and
steadily pull the machine backwards.
4.
Shut the spray/brush "O" and vacuum an additional six
inches.
5.
To clean a small area of carpet, clean the carpet in
sections three feet square. As you make additional
passes, overlap one inch of the area already cleaned.
6.
To remove more liquid from the carpet, lift up slightly on the
handle, transferring machine weight to the pick up head.
The speed you move the machine will depend on how dirty
the carpet is. If the carpet is very dirty, move the machine
slower.
7.
As the machine is used, dirty solution will begin to fill the
recovery tank. When the solution tank is empty, the
recovery tank must be emptied. If the solution in the
recovery tank is foamy, the recovery tank may need to be
emptied before the solution tank is refilled.
CAUTION:
The recovery tank is equipped with an
electric shut-off float switch. When the
recovery tank becomes full, all electrical
functions will automatically be shut off.
Turn the vacuum/accessory and spray/
brush switch to the "OFF" position be-
fore emptying the recovery tank.
How To Clean A Larger Area Of Carpet (See figure 3)
To clean a larger area of carpet, follow this procedure:
1.
Begin at the right-hand corner of the carpet.
2.
Make a pass halfway along the edge of the carpet. Pull
the machine backward at a steady speed.
3.
Move to the edge of the carpet. Make another pass next
to your first pass.
