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
protect fine rugs and carpet. Do
not use scrubbing-waxing-pol-
ishing brushes on carpet or rugs.
3. Fill tank
Mix carpet shampoo according to
directions on the container. Pour
to the “FULL” line in the tank
opening marked “CLEAN SOLU-
TION”.
CAUTION: Do not use all-purpose detergents, soaps, ammonia, or
washing soda. They can cause colors to run and may damage carpet
fibers. Liquid household detergents will not give satisfactory cleaning
results. The shampoo solution should be cool or lukewarm, as a hot
solution may fade colors or cause shrinkage.
4. Shampoo carpet or rug
Start at one end of the room and
work toward a door so that it will
not be necessary to walk on the
damp carpet. It is recommended
that an area 3 ft. x 3 ft.
(Im

be shampooed before moving to
another area. Begin by lowering
handle and moving control button
to “SCRUB-POLISH-SHAMPOO”.
Squeeze trigger 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 shampoo-polisher

strokes. Move forward and back-
ward until the 3 ft. x 3 ft. area
(Im

is covered with foam. Criss-
cross 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.
