Your SX-15 requires very little maintenance. To keep your SX-15 looking and

working its best for the longest period of use:

After each use rinse the Inner Shell of the SX-15 to remove accumulated dirt &

debris. The Inner Shell can be separated from the Outer Shell to clean the air flow

channel between the two shells. (See instructions for changing the Hard Boot &

Brush Ring for procedure to separate Outer and Inner Shells on Pages 5-7.)

Rinse & wipe down top of head assembly & handle.

Rinse & wipe clean the Hard Boot or the Brush Ring if used.

Examine Hard Boot - Replace the Hard Boot if worn down or deep gouges and

embedded debris are found.

Examine the Brush Ring – Replace Brush ring if bristles are excessively bent, worn or

if too many bristles are missing.

heck and clean the stainless steel mesh filter between the quick connect and valve to

prevent a reduction in water flow and tool efficiency. See item NA0803 in the parts

diagram on Page 16.

heck the spray pattern of the jets and clean or replace the jets as needed to assure

even spray pattern.

heck vacuum hose for holes or cracks. Replace Vacuum hose as needed.

SX-15 MAINTENANCE

SPECIFICATIONS

Vacuum Relief Vent Adjustment

The SX-15 has vacuum relief vents on top of the head assembly. To increase the

water recovery, move the vacuum relief slide to the left to close the three vents. To

prevent the SX-15 from sticking to the floor and to make the SX-15 easier to move,

push the vacuum relief slide to the right to open the vents. Try different slide position

settings to get the best movement and recovery for your equipment and the type of

floor being cleaned.

Using the SX-15 with extractors with higher air flow will generally require the vacuum

relief vents to be opened more.

Using the SX-15 with smaller portable extractors may require the vacuum relief vents

to be closed for the best water recovery.

When using the Hard Boot the vacuum relief vents will usually be opened more than

it is when using the Brush Ring with the same extractor.

Hard Boot & Brush Ring Use

The SX-15 comes with a Hard Boot and Brush Ring. You have the option to choose

to install either for the type of floor being cleaned and the equipment used.

Use of the Hard Boot should be limited to durable surfaces such as ceramic tile.

Do not use the Hard Boot on Soft Surfaces such as marble. The Hard Boot may

scratch soft surfaces.

Use of the Brush Ring will help prevent scratching of soft surfaces.

When using portable extractors with lower air flow the Hard Boot will provide

improved recovery compared to the Brush Ring.

Truck mounts with higher air flow will get excellent recovery with Brush Ring or

Hard Boot.

With a high air flow truck mount extractor, the tight seal of the Hard Boot on

smooth surfaces such as concrete may prevent the SX-15 from being moved

properly across the floor.

Changing the Hard Boot & Brush Ring

hanging between the Hard Boot and Brush

Ring can be done quickly and easily without

tools.

1. Disconnect the solution hose from the

swivel.

2. Lift the three retainer levers on top of

the SX-15 head to release the retainers.

3. Turn the deck over and turn the three rectangular retaining nuts on the

retainers to align with the holes in the bottom of the Inner Shell, so they can

pass through the holes.

4. Pull and separate the Inner Shell from the Outer Shell.

5. Lift up and remove the current Hard Boot or Brush Ring from the bottom lip

of the Outer Shell.

6. Place the desired Brush Ring or Hard Boot back

onto the bottom lip of the Outer Shell.

7. Place the Inner Shell back onto the Outer Shell

with the rectangular retaining nuts going through

the openings in the Inner Shell. The flanges on the

Inner Shell set on the edge of the Hard Boot or

Brush Ring to hold it in place.

Extraction Equipment

The SX-15 will work with portable or truck mounted extractors, but the water

recovery may be better with higher powered extractors with more air flow. The

extractor solution pump must provide a minimum of 700psi of water pressure with a

flow rate of 1.5gpm (Gallon Per Minute). At 1000psi the flow rate must exceed 2.0

gpm & at 1500psi the flow rate must exceed 3.0gpm.

The recommended pressure for SX-15 operation is 700 to 1500psi.

Set-up Procedure

1. Install the Hard Boot or Brush Ring on the SX-15 as needed. (See instructions for

changing Hard Boot & Brush Ring on Page 5.)

2. onnect the vacuum hose from your extractor to the vacuum pipe on the SX-15

handle. A 2” cuff will fit over the pipe, a 1-1/2” cuff will fit inside the pipe.

3. onnect the solution hose from the extractor to the quick connect on the SX-15

valve assembly.

4. Turn the extractor ON. Adjust the water pressure to the desired pressure.

Minimum Pressure : 700psi Maximum Pressure: 2500psi

5. Adjust the Vacuum Relief Slide for best recovery & ease of movement.

Basic Cleaning Procedure

Remove all furniture from the area you are going to clean. Use tools and aids that will

make your job easier and safer. Gliders walk off mats, furniture protector tabs and

foam blocks can help with moving and placing furniture away from areas to be

cleaned. Depending upon the customer’s wishes, it may be alright to leave some

furniture or appliances, such as refrigerators, in place and clean around them. Begin

by sweeping or vacuuming the floor to remove dust and grit, pieces of glass, sand, etc.

You can use the Gekko accessory brush head to vacuum to your truck mount

(Remember to use your Dust-Downer to prevent dry abrasives from getting into your

blower.).

It is important for you to show utmost care for your client’s home and furnishings.

Place orner Guards when moving your hoses about and use furniture skidders or

floor guards for moving heavy appliances. Note any places where other surfaces

USING THE SX-15

border the floor. arpet, cabinets, delicate wall covering, or painted surfaces need to

be protected from all types of over spray. aution and care in spraying is generally

sufficient, but masking or use of a spray shield (like those used by painters) works

well and may be necessary in high-risk areas. Use removable painter’s tape to avoid

damage to wood finishes when masking is removed. If the pre-sprays are over

sprayed on the carpet they can simply be rinsed using your carpet wand.

Select the appropriate pre-spray and apply to the floor. Usually, a 5 minute or less

dwell time is ideal. Excessive dwell time may actually retard the cleaning process by

soaking in deeper and requiring more drying time before sealing. You could

inadvertently begin a process of efflorescence by over-wetting. Avoid letting the pre-

sprays dry on the floor by extracting within the five minute time frame. A helper can

assist you by spraying three to five minutes ahead as you extract for highest efficiency.

Begin by going over large areas with the SX-15. Recommended pressure is 700 to

1500 psi, and temperature up to 200°F. It is usually easiest to move at a moderate rate

forward and backward. You need only overlap enough to assure complete coverage.

You will be surprised at how quickly you can clean with the SX-15. Moving too fast

will create a spiral pattern in the grout or tile. Slow down so this pattern does not

occur. Get air movers going where you have just extracted to get the grout dry as

quickly as possible, especially if you plan to seal the grout the same day.

Do the detail work last. The Gekko is the tool of choice for edging, corners and

cleaning in tight places. The Gekko tool with the Edge & orner attachment works

great for cleaning the tile coving and edges. For heavier soiling not removed by the

SX-15, use the Gekko tool with a five inch head straight on, blasting the soil off of

the grout.
