How This Machine Works

The Machine is a battery powered, self-propelled
Carpet Maintainer and Carpet Extractor intended for
commercial use.
The machine is designed to maintain your carpet using
the Encapsulating Interim Carpet Cleaning Process.
By using the Interim Carpet Maintainer in conjunction
with Windsor Red Carpet Encapsulating Interim
Cleaning (W450-4) or Encapsulating Interim Cleaning
with Carpet Protection (W455-4) 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 30 minutes.
The machine is also designed to restore your carpet
using carpet extraction chemicals. The machine is
designed to apply cleaning solution onto carpeted floor,
scrub the carpet with two counter-rotating brushes,
then vacuum the soiled water back into the recovery
tank.

The machine can be used to perform a "One step" or
"Two step" carpet restoration. Using the "One step"
process, the carpet is restored with a deep extraction
chemical. Using the "Two step" process, the carpet is
first scrubbed with a pre-spray and then scrubbed
again with a neutralizing rinse.
The machine's primary systems are the solution
system, chemical injection system (Deluxe), scrub
system, recovery system and operator control system.
The function of the solution system is to store water
and deliver solution to the appropriate spray jets. The
solution system consist of the solution tank, strainer,
pump, solenoid valves, spray jets and controls. The
solution tank stores water until it is delivered through
the strainer and pump to the solenoid valves and spray
jets. The strainer protects the pump from debris. The
solenoid valves automatically prevents solution flow
unless the scrub brushes are turned on and the
machine is being propelled forward. The solution pump
switch controls the cleaning solution flow.

The function of the chemical injection system is to
deliver the appropriate chemical into the solution
system to be applied to the carpet. The chemical
injection system consists of the "A" chemical tank, "B"
chemical tank, chemical selector valve, chemical pump,
and the mixing sector. The "A" chemical tank stores
either encapsulating interim chemical, pre-spray "Two
step" chemical or neutralizing rinse, "Two step"
chemical. The "B" chemical tank stores the deep
extraction chemical. The chemical selector valve
controls which chemical is delivered into the system
depending on the function knob on the control panel.
The chemical pump draws from the tanks and delivers
it into the solution system. The mixing sector allows the
chemical to thoroughly mix with the water before being
delivered to the carpet.
The function of the scrub system is to scrub the carpet,
mix the cleaning solution with the soil and lift and groom
the carpet pile. The scrub system consist of two cylin-
drical brushes, motor, lift actuator, and controls. The
brushes scrub the carpet as the motor drives the
brushes. The counter-rotating action of the brushes
groom the carpet pile. The rotor actuator switch
controls the lift actuator and brush motor to lower the
deck and turn the motor on, or raise the deck and turn
the motor off. The brush motor will automatically turn
off when the throttle switches are in neutral.
The function of the recovery system is to vacuum the
soiled water back into the recovery tank. The recovery
system consists of the vacuum shoes, vacuum
motor(s), float ball filter, recovery tank and controls.
The vacuum shoes extract the dirty solution from the
carpet as the machine moves forward. The vacuum
motor(s) provide suction to draw the dirty solution off
the floor and into the recovery tank. The float ball filter
protects the vacuum fan from debris and foam. The
recovery tank stores the dirty solution.
The function of the operator control system is to control
the direction and speed of the machine. The control
system consists of the reverse switch, throttle switch,
speed control knob, propel controller, and drive wheels.
The reverse switch signals forward or reverse direction.
The propel controller interprets signals from the throttle
switches, and speed control knob to command the
drive wheels to propel or slow the machine.
