    The handle stop’s purpose is to allow forward movement with the CX-15. On some carpet types, because of pile type, or lay of the nap, the CX-15 is unable to be pushed forward. The design of the glide permits extreme water removal when moving backwards, but can sometimes “suck down” when moving forward.

    Section Maintenance Proper maintenance is required to keep the CX-15 operating properly, prevent downtime and to extend the life of your equipment. WARNING: Disconnect solution hose before performing any service or maintenance inside machine base, spray gun valve or solution filter.
  • Page 12 Cleaning the Solution Filter: A dirty or clogged Solution Filter on the CX-15 will reduce the flow rate of water to the spray jets. This will reduce the cleaning effectiveness of the CX-15 and prevent the Spray Bar from spinning at the proper speed.
  • Page 13 Inspecting & Changing the Glide Plate: With normal use, the Glide Plate will last for years, but as the carpet contact point for the CX-15, over time, the Glide Plate may wear out or get damaged. Before each job, inspect the Glide Plate. Look for and remove any debris or grit which may be imbedded in the Glide Plate surface.
