OPERATION
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This machine is intended for commercial use. It is
designed to lift carpet pile with its powerful brush and
vacuum carpet prior to cleaning. This lifting action will
enable the carpet to be cleaned much easier and more
thoroughly than it would have without its use. It is also
designed to remove dry encapsulation cleaning
residue as part of the encapsulation cleaning process.
It is to be used in an indoor environment and is not
constructed for any other use.
All operators must read, understand and practice the
following safety precautions.
The following safety alert symbols are used throughout
this manual as indicated in their description:
WARNING: To warn of hazards or unsafe
practices which could result in severe personal
injury or death.
FOR SAFETY: To identify actions which must be
followed for safe operation of equipment.
The following information signals potentially dangerous
conditions to the operator or equipment.
FOR SAFETY:
1. Do not operate pile lifter:
–Unless trained and authorized.
–Unless operator manual is read and
understood.
–On wet carpet. Water can harm the natural
fiber of the brush and it will ruin the paper
vacuum bag.
–In flammable or explosive areas.
–With damaged cord or plug.
–If not in proper operating condition.
–Unless cord is properly grounded.
–In standing water.
–With the use of an ungrounded extension
cord.
2. Before operating pile lifter:
–Make sure all safety devices are in place
and operate properly.
–Make sure vacuum bag is attached to
vacuum outlet on cover.
3. When using pile lifter:
–Do not run over cord.
–Do not pull pile lifter by plug or cord.
–Do not pull cord around sharp edges or
corners.
–Do not unplug by pulling on cord.
–Do not stretch cord.
–Do not handle plugs with wet hands.
–Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
–Report pile lifter damage or faulty
operation immediately.
–Be sure any chemicals which may have
been applied to carpet are safe and non-
toxic and non flammable.
4. Before leaving or servicing pile lifter:
–Unplug cord from wall outlet.
5. When servicing pile lifter:
–Unplug cord from wall outlet.
–Use manufacturer supplied or approved
replacement parts.
WARNING: Hazardous Voltage. Shock or
electrocution can result. Always unplug machine
before servicing.
WARNING: Flammable materials can cause
an explosion or fire. Do not brush or vacuum floor
surface that has flammable chemical on it.
WARNING: Do not operate without vacuum
bag attached to vacuum outlet. Particles leave
connection point at high velocity and could cause
injury or property damage.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for
use by young children or infirm persons without
supervision. Young children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Machine must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electrical current to
reduce the risk of electrical shock. This machine is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding connector and grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. Do not remove
ground pin; if missing, replace plug before use.
International models will have different cord ends.

OPERATION
FOR SAFETY: Do not operate pile lifter unless
cord is properly grounded.
4. Zip cloth vacuum bag shut and attach bag to
vacuum outlet at the base of the pile lifter (Figure
3).
5. Plug pile lifter’s power cord into grounded wall
outlet.
6. Adjust the height of the handle to about 1” or 2”
below belt. This is done by lifting up on height

PILE LIFTER OPERATION
FOR SAFETY: Do not operate pile lifter unless
operator manual is read and understood.
FOR SAFETY: Always hold the handle of the pile
lifter firmly when turning the power ON.
FOR SAFETY: Do not operate the pile lifter with
wheels raised off carpet and full weight of
machine in brush. This will exert too much of a
load on the brush motor.
PRE-OPERATION
1. Inspect power cord for damage.
2. Be certain the vacuum bag has ample room in it.
If not, replace with a new one.
OPERATION
1. First observe the natural lay of the carpet pile. If
possible, align the pile lifter so the natural pile
lays facing away from the pile lifter and operator.
This way the pile will be raised in the backward
stroke.
Fig. 3 2. Start about two steps behind the forward corner
of the room. Turn ON the pile lifter, take two steps
straight forward and two steps straight backward.
Generally a single pass forward and backward is
sufficient to treat most carpets.
3. Turn the pile lifter and move to the side so it is
aligned parallel with the first pass and overlaps
fist pass. Repeat two steps forward and two steps
back (Figure 5).

FOR SAFETY: Do not dwell in a single location
with the brush motor running as this could do
permanent damage to the carpet pile.
4. Repeat this process until the entire width of the
room has been covered.

5. Now move back two more steps and work back
across the room.

or Kleenrite at 800 2414865
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
(Every 80 Hours of Operation)
1. Check drive belt. If loose, remove cover. Loosen
four bolts that secure brush motor to base. Slide
motor back and retighten four bolts. Keep the
motor square to the base. If it is on an angle the
belt will not track properly.

XVAC WARRANTY POLICY
LABOR & PARTS POLICY
For the first 12 months from the date of original purchase, upon Kleenrite’s determination, product manufacturing
defects will be repaired or replaced at no charge for labor and/or parts provided that the machine or part(s) is
delivered or shipped freight prepaid to Kleenrite or its designated repair center and provided that a Return
Authorization is obtained from Kleenrite prior to machine or part(s) being shipped. (See “How to Obtain a Return
Authorization”.)
Kleenrite is not responsible to pay for parts supplied by or labor performed by any of its distributors or any general
service companies.
PARTS ONLY – STANDARD REPLACEMENT POLICY
For the first 12 months from the date of original purchase, in the event that a part believed to be under warranty fails,
simply call Kleenrite to obtain a Return Authorization, ship the part freight prepaid to Kleenrite and, Kleenrite will
either repair or replace the part at no charge if it is determined that failure was a manufacturing defect. Kleenrite will
then ship the repaired or replaced part back to you freight collect. Our service department can usually talk a person
through any part replacement procedure in a matter of minutes. There is no charge for this nationwide toll-free
service.
PARTS ONLY – EMERGENCY REPLACEMENT POLICY
For the first 12 months from the date of original purchase, in the event that a part believed by the registered owner to
be under warranty fails and an immediate replacement part is requested before Kleenrite can inspect the part that is
suspected to be faulty or have a chance to repair it, Kleenrite will ship the requested part on a COD basis (part plus
freight) or if credit has been established prior to the request the part will be shipped on an Open Account basis (part
plus freight). A Return Authorization must be requested at the time of order so that the suspected defective part can
be returned freight prepaid to Kleenrite for warranty consideration. If after receiving the part, Kleenrite determines
that the part has a manufacturing defect and can be repaired, the part will be repaired to normal working condition
and returned (freight collect) to the original registered owner as a spare part and no refund will be made. Should
Kleenrite determine that the part is covered by warranty and cannot be repaired, Kleenrite will credit an open
account customer the same amount as was charged when the replacement part was sent less freight and will refund
a COD customer the same way. However, should Kleenrite determine that the part received was not a
manufacturing defect, you will be informed of such and credit will not be given nor will the damaged part be returned
unless requested specifically to the registered owner.
