It may be necessary to remove air from the system ("prime the pump") so the
clean solution will flow to the tool. Follow these steps:
1. Attach tool to hose and turn the carpet cleaner ON.
2. Put the tool on a hard surface or against your hand to block off the suction.
3. Wait a few seconds (can take up to 15 seconds). Then squeeze the trigger
and begin cleaning.

when cleaning on stairs.

Do not place carpet cleaner on stairs.

4.9 Position tool against the riser and slightly press
it into carpet pile. Press the trigger and pull the tool
slowly over the carpet (second wet stroke). Release
trigger at end of stroke.
Lift tool, and position it against riser. Pull tool slowly
over carpet without pressing trigger (dry stroke).
It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as
described above. End with more dry strokes to aid
in faster drying of carpet.
Overlap strokes by 1/2 inch to help prevent
streaking.
To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more than 4
wet strokes over any one area. Always end with dry
strokes.
If additional cleaning is necessary, wait until the
carpet is completely dry before using the tool again.
