CLEANING APPLICATIONS

The carpet maintainer is designed to maintain large
carpet areas by using the Dry and Mist Modes on a
regular basis.
Dry Mode Operation: The counter rotating brushes
remove surface soil, dust and debris while grooming
the carpet fibers. The side brush collects dust and dirt
along walls and trim. The pickup is directed into the
hopper and the finer particles are collected in the filter
bag.
Mist Mode Operation: A controlled mist of Carpet
Maintainer Formula is applied onto the carpet. The
counter rotating brushes work the solution into the
fibers. The solution bonds to the soil and quickly dries.
The encapsulated soil is removed during the next dry
mode cleaning.
The machine is equipped with a user friendly operation
guide located on the control panel. Simply follow the
symbols for each operating mode (Figure 6).
DAILY CLEANING PROGRAMS
For best results, it is advised you begin your cleaning
program with new or recently restored carpet.
Choose a recommended daily cleaning program that
best meets your needs:
1. Moderate Traffic Areas: Use Mist Mode at
mid-week and Dry Mode the other days.
2. High Traffic Areas: Alternate Dry and Mist Modes
every other day.
3. Extremely High Traffic Areas: Use Dry Mode at
mid-week and Mist Mode the other days to
prevent soil buildup.
