2. Attach shampoo
brushes
Press shampoo brushes down firmly
over brush shaft, rotating brush until it
clicks into position.
Shampoo brushes are very soft to pro-
tect fine rugs and carpet. Do not use
power scrub and cleaning brushes on
carpet or rugs.

tions on the container. Pour to the
“FULL” line in the tank opening marked
“CLEAN SOLUTION”.

ge n t s , s o a p s ,a m m o n i a , or washing

4. Shampoo carpet or rug
Start at one end of the room and work
toward a door so that it will not be nec-
essary to walk on the damp carpet. It is
recommended that an area 3 ft. x 3 ft.
(1m x 1m) be shampooed before mov-
ing to another area. Begin by lowering
handle and moving control button to
“SCRUB-POLISH-SHAMPOO”.
Squeeze trigger (E) intermittently to
apply solution. Apply sparingly in order
not to soak the carpet. The type of
fiber, surface texture, and height of pile
will determine how much solution should
be used. Guide floor machine slowly,
slightly overlapping the strokes. Move
forward and backward until the 3 ft. x 3
ft. area (1m x 1m) is covered with foam.
Crisscross area to work foam uniformly
into the carpet (see illustration) until the
foam disappears. The final strokes over
each area should always be in the same
direction.
E
Repeat the process over another 3 ft. x 3
ft. area (1m x 1m), overlapping the areas
by several inches. Continue until a 3 ft.
(1m) length the width of the carpet or
rug has been cleaned.
Note:The “WET PICKUP”is used only
when removing liquids from hard sur-
face floors. Do not use “WET PICKUP”
on carpeting.
5. Allow carpet to dry
The length of time for drying varies,
however, overnight drying is desirable
whenever possible. The use of an elec-
tric fan to speed drying is helpful. If it is
necessary to walk on the carpet before
it is dry, place towels or white cloths on
the traffic areas.
If furniture must be replaced before
the carpet is dry, use plastic or alu-
minum foil pads under legs of furni-
ture so metal slides or wood finishes
will not stain the carpet or rug.
6. Vacuum dry carpet
Vacuum area thoroughly after it is dry
to remove the dry detergent and the
dirt loosened by the cleaning process.
Frequent vacuuming during the first
week after shampooing will enhance the
appearance of the carpet.
Using dry-cleaning
compounds
The floor machine may be used to work
dry-cleaning compounds or powders
into carpet or rugs. Do not put these
substances into the tank and be sure
shampoo brushes are dry. Test a small
area of carpet for colorfastness by
sprinkling a small amount of powder
and wiping with a white cloth. Then
check for texture change by using the
floor machine with dry brushes in the
same area. If color and texture are not
affected follow directions on container
for amounts to use and drying time.
After compound has dried, vacuum area
thoroughly. Install a new disposable bag
in vacuum cleaner to insure complete
removal of cleaning compound and dirt.
Frequent bag changes may be neces-
sary when a powdered dry-cleaning
compound is used.
