While depressing the red button on the handle, pull the machine steadily backward
in a straight line, keeping vacuum slot against the carpet surface. On lightly soiled
carpets you can pull the machine quickly at one foot per second. For moderately, or
heavily soiled carpets, pull the machine at approximately one foot every two
10
seconds. You will begin to see soiled solution entering the clear dome . (If you don't,
stop and refer to the Troubleshooting section.) IMPORTANT: When depressing the
handle button, keep machine moving so the vibrating brush does not agitate in one
place.
Release the button 6 to 12 inches before ending each pass to stop cleaning solution.
Tilt machine back and push it forward to position it for another backward cleaning
pass. Continue cleaning in this manner, overlapping each pass slightly. When the
lower tank runs out of cleaning solution, the pump sound will increase in volume
11
slightly and dirty water will stop entering the dome. Switch the machine "OFF".
Remove and empty the white UPPER tank by pouring dirty solution into a toilet or
outdoors. Rinse the upper tank and refill the LOWER tank with clean solution/water
mixture. If you are near the end of your cleaning job, fill the LOWER tank half full so it empties by the end of your job. Replace the upper tank
. Continue the cleaning process until area to be cleaned is covered.

When cleaning is complete, switch the machine OFF. To drain and clean the machine, refer to the Cleaning Your Machine section.
Cleaning Upholstery
Always use Upholstery Cleaner when needed to prevent excess suds in the upper (white) tank. If the Rug Doctor machine ingests foam
1
through the dome filter, damage to the carpet and vacuum motor could result.
Prepare surfaces for cleaning by thoroughly vacuuming or brushing. When cleaning and drying cushions, first spread sheets or towels on the
2
floor as a drying surface for the dampened cushions.
Disconnect the machine's large vacuum hose. Reconnect the top portion to the large vacuum hose of hand tool. Slide down the brass "quick
3
coupler" ring and pull out the small solution hose. Slide down the ring again to insert the metal end of the hand tool solution hose. Release
the brass ring to secure. Tug gently on the hose to make certain the connection is secure.
4
Remove the white UPPER tank, mix Rug Doctor Upholstery Cleaner in a clean bucket according to label directions and pour into LOWER tank.
5
Slip the tank back in place and seal the tank and clear dome securely by replacing the retaining wire.
Plug in the power cord and position the machine. Refer to the label on top of the machine. Turn on the machine by pressing the "ON" switch
6
for UPHOLSTERY/ HAND TOOL cleaning on the top of the machine.
Test upholstery for colorfastness by first cleaning a small, hidden area, then rubbing the test area with a white paper towel. If no color
appears, continue cleaning. A little color on the towel means there's some chance of color running, but it's likely you can still clean safely. Try
7
using cool or cold water and test again with a white paper towel.
8
Working at a slow, steady pace, begin cleaning by squeezing the hand tool lever as you pull the tool over fabric. Overlap strokes slightly.
When cleaning is complete, switch the machine OFF. Disconnect both of the hoses from the machine. Holding the hose ends over a sink,
9
squeeze the hand tool trigger until all liquid is drained. To drain and clean the machine, refer to the Cleaning Your Machine section.
10
Reconnect the machine vacuum and solution hoses.

NOTE: For velvet upholstery, fluff up damp pile with a soft brush or towel to keep from matting.
