Assembly
Note: Do not plug the power cord into an electrical outlet until the machine is fully
assembled.
1. Carefully unpack all components and set aside the packaging.
2. Lift the carpet washer to the upright position.
3. Align the handle with the groove and insert onto body. If necessary, use thumb
and finger pressure to slide handle into position.
4. Once the handle is in place, secure the handle to the body with the two screws
supplied (Fig. 1)
Caution: Do not over tighten. Over tightening could strip the screw holes. Do not
operate the vacuum without the handle screws in place.
CARPET PREPARATION
IMPORTANT: Do not use the carpet washer as a dry vacuum.
1. Vacuum your carpet thoroughly. Ensure it is cleaned before you shampoo.
2. Remove as much furniture from the room as possible. If unable to remove the furniture, place plastic or
foil under and around
HELPFUL HINTS FOR CLEANING CARPET:
1. Use only Low Foaming Cleaning solution with this carpet washer.
2. Do not over saturate the carpet with cleaning solution while using the carpet washer.
3. For heavily soiled areas, additional applications may be necessary.
4. Allow plenty of time to dry the carpet thoroughly.
5. Wipe the cleaning solution from woodwork and furniture to prevent any damage.
6. Try not to walk on the carpet until after the carpet is thoroughly dry, vacuum the carpet using a vacuum
cleaner with a revolving brush bar.
7. Before cleaning, determine where to start and end, making sure not to walk over previously cleaned
areas.
CHECK FOR COLOUR FASTNESS:
Before cleaning the carpet, test for colour fastness. Dampen a white cloth with solution and test a small area
in a closet. Gently rub the cloth over the area. Check each colour for colour bleeding. If the cloth remains
clean, it should be safe to clean the carpet.
AFTER CLEANING:
Allow the carpet to dry completely. Try not to walk on the carpet until it is dry. If it is necessary to walk on
the carpet, place white towels on the areas to be walked on. If the carpet is not dry and the furniture must
be placed back in the room, use plastic or foil under the furniture to prevent staining the carpet. Thoroughly
clean the dirty water tank with warm (max 40ºC) tap water.

Carpet Cleaner Use
1. Plug cord into electrical socket. Turn on the machine by
using the on/off switch located on the side of the
machine.
IMPORTANT: Never leave unit unattended with power on.
Turn off when emptying and filling tanks. Do not over-
saturate the carpet.
Step on the handle release pedal to lower the machine
into the cleaning position While pressing the trigger,
pull carpet washer in a backward motion. Release the
trigger and push the unit forward in the same path to
agitate and remove dirty water and solution from the
carpet. (For heavily soiled areas, repeat if necessary).
IMPORTANT:
•For best cleaning results use a steady, moderate, forward and backward motion. Always work from back
to front across the room to avoid stepping on wet carpet and lowering the pile.
•Do not make the carpet too wet! Use no more than two sets of forward and backward strokes while
releasing solution. Always follow with dry strokes; the more the better
•Allow carpet to dry. Avoid walking on the carpet until it is dry. Increased air circulation (open doors,
turn on fans, etc.) or use of a dehumidifier will help carpet dry thoroughly and prevent the growth of
mould or mildew.
•Vacuum the carpet thoroughly before washing the carpet and after it has dried.
Emptying the Recovery Tank
An automatic shut-off device prevents the extractor from picking up more dirty water than it can hold in
the recovery tank. You will know the tank needs to be emptied:
•When the motor sound rises in pitch.
•You do not see dirty solution coming up through the recovery tank lid.
•The float inside the recovery tank has risen to the top of the tank and is visible through the transparent
tank.
1.Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.
2.Unlock the Recovery tank by lifting the dirty water tank
latch and remove from the base unit using the handle
