How This Machine Works

The Carpet Maintainer is designed to maintain your
carpet using the Quick Dry Carpet Care System. By
using the Carpet Maintainer in conjunction with iCapsol
or Prochem ProCaps chemical solution, you can
perform a regular light cleaning and grooming of your
carpet very quickly, and have the carpet dry and ready
for traffic within 20 minutes.
The handle movement flexibility allows the machine to
clean under low furniture. There is a hand operated on/
off switch and auto-handle lock keeping the handle in
an upright position. This unit is equipped with a safety
feature that when unplugged from the wall or the
handle dropped, will automatically reset to the off
position.
The debris tray is used to catch unwanted carpet debris
and should be cleaned regularly and prior to trans-
porting.

Tips: Pre-treat carpet spots with iCapsol Interim
cleaning solution. Work on a manageable area and do
not allow cleaning solution to dry on carpet before
brushing.
Deluxe
The Deluxe is provided with a removable solution tank.
To remove tank for filling and cleaning, press the gray
release button on the blue coupler located at the top of
the tank. Next remove upper straps from mounting
pegs. The tank will now freely separate from the
machine base. After filling tank remount to machine by
reversing the process mentioned above.
The proper 1:16 dilution ratio can be achieved by
adding one pint (16 oz.) of recommended chemical and
slowly filling the tank with water (2 gallons). Adding
water slowly will help prevent foaming.
To achieve a coverage rate of 600-1000 sq. ft. per
gallon using the onboard sprayer, spray solution only
during the forward stroke of operation. Use the back-
stroke to brush the chemical into the carpet.
