slide the knurled collar on the female coupling away

from the opening. Push the male coupling into the

female coupling. See figure 4

WARNING: Do not use water that is hotter than

140°F (60°C).

3. Before moving the extractor onto the carpet, put

clean hot water into the solution tank.

4. Add a cleaning chemical, such as Clarkare®Ex-

tractor Concentrate, to the hot water. For the

correct amount, follow the directions shown on the

container.

5. If the extractor removes an excess amount of foam

from the carpet, add a de-foamer such as Clarkare®

De-foamer Concentrate to the recovery tank. The

amount needed will vary according to the amount of

detergent already in the carpet.

CAUTION: To prevent damage, use a water-

based de-foamer rather than an oil-

based de-foamer.

CAUTION: Do not leave the extractor or other

cleaning machines or tools on the

carpet when not in use. Cleaning

solution in the machines and tools

can leak onto the carpet and cause

light spots or stains.

NOTE: To order Clarkare®Extractor Concentrate, order

part no. 398421. To order Clarkare®Defoamer,

order part no. 398420.

MACHINE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

How to Clean an Area of Carpet See Figure 7

WARNING: Do not use water that is hotter

than 140°F (60°C).

To clean an area of carpet, follow this procedure:

1. Start the pump for the solution and the motor for the

vacuum on the extractor.

2. Begin at the right-hand corner of the carpet.

3. Hold the floor tool at the angle that gives the best

vacuum seal between the tool and the carpet.

4. Apply pressure to the lever for solution release. Pull

the tool toward you at a slow, steady speed. To

remove as much solution as possible, release the

lever before you stop moving backward.

5. To clean the edge of a room, move the tool along the

baseboard until the edge of all the carpet is cleaned.

6. To clean a small area of carpet, clean the carpet in

sections three feet square. As you make more

passes, repeat one inch of the area already cleaned.

7. To remove more liquid from the carpet, make passes

over the area already cleaned, but do not apply

pressure to the lever for the solution.

How To Clean A Larger Area Of Carpet See Fig. 8

To clean a larger area of carpet, follow this procedure:

1. Begin at the right-hand corner of the carpet.

2. Make a pass halfway along the edge of the carpet.

Pull the tool backward at a steady speed.

3. Move to the edge of the carpet. Make another pass

next to your first pass.

4. As you make more passes, repeat one inch of the

area already cleaned. If you use a power brush tool,

repeat one inch of the area already cleaned by the

brush. Make each pass four inches different in length

to prevent making a line in the center of the carpet.

5. Make more passes until half of the carpet is cleaned.

To remove more liquid from the carpet, make passes

over the area already cleaned, but do not apply

pressure to the lever for the solution.

6. Move to the right-hand corner of the part of the carpet

not yet cleaned.

7. Make a pass halfway along the edge of the carpet.

8. As you make passes, repeat one inch of the area

already cleaned.

9. Make more passes until all of the room is cleaned.

CAUTION: Clarke will not be held liable for

damage to the carpet, or poor re-

sults because of the operator's lack

of ability.
