The vacuum hose must be in good condition to ensure maximum airflow. Electrical Cord Connection The 15 m (50 ft) electrical cord on your PowerHead AX is a detachable three-prong grounded line requiring a three-prong, 15 Amp receptacle. A three-prong to two-prong adapter may be used, providing its ground wire is properly attached to a grounded terminal.
MAnEuvEring tHE PoWErHEAd AX your PowerHead AX maneuvers like a buffer (see figure 4-2). To move the PowerHead AX to the right, lift the handle slightly. The more you lift or lower the handle, the faster the PowerHead AX will move.
ChemDry PowerHead AX Do not operate your PowerHead AX on dry carpets. The friction generated by the revolving cleaning heads may damage fibers in the carpet. Once you have become familiar with the speed and movement of the machine, practice making it hover in one spot. (The hovering maneuver is useful for removing stubborn stains, as well as removing furniture indentations.)
PowerHead AX, move it slowly and deliberately with a 50% overlap, giving it time to clean and extract. (unlike a manual wand, the PowerHead AX is doing the work you had to do in the past) A steady pace rather than a frenzied one will increase efficiency and production and decrease fatigue.
With a PowerHead AX, loose yarns form balls and are kicked aside as the cleaning heads revolve. This is normal when aggressive cleaning or even normal vacuuming takes place, as evidenced by a number of dead, loose yarns in the vacuum cleaner bag.
The PowerHead AX has been very successful in restoring badly matted traffic lanes in front of doorways and sofas. Even pivot areas can be brought back to life again, in most cases.
PowerHead AX will result in a long, dependable life for the unit. Keep in mind that your PowerHead AX will be in full view of your customer. A PowerHead AX that is dirty and unkempt in appearance can cause your business or professional image to suffer.

WArning And ProtECtion your PowerHead AX can sustain damage from freezing, as can any equipment that functions with the use of water. Care must be taken to protect this tool from freezing just as you do your other equipment.

The felt vacuum seal plays an important part in the optimum performance of your ChemDry PowerHead AX™. If it is worn or unlubricated, it will not form a proper seal. Lack of a proper seal will impair the vacuuming capabilities of the unit and therefore leave behind more water in the carpet than is desirable.
