Filter bar
The filter bar, located between the two squeegees at the front of the
shampoo-polisher base, protects the unit by collecting any large particles
of dirt or residue. Clean filter bar after each use or during use if there is a
decrease in the efficiency of the “WET PICKUP”.
Remove filter bar by placing the
index fingers under each end and
lifting up, as shown.
Clean off lint and dirt particles by
holding filter bar under running
water. Replace by snapping it in-
to place between the squeegees.

/
shampoo brushes under warm running water to remove any lint that has
collected. Shake brushes and pads to remove excess water. Place on
paper towels (with brushes down) to dry. Allow brushes to dry com-
!
pletely before reattaching them to unit.

Felt and high lustre polishing pads

I
The pads should be washed occasionally to remove wax. If
shampoo-
polisher does not glide easily when buffing floors, it may be due to an ac-
cumulation of wax on pads. Pads should be washed in the same way as
brushes. Shake the high lustre polishing pads several times while drying
to restore fluffiness. Let pads dry thoroughly before using. Felt pads will
be damaged if used while damp and neither felt nor high lustre polishing
pads will polish well if they are not dry.
