PICK-UP TOOL MAINTENANCE
Check the pick-up tools daily. Remove any built-up string, hair or carpet fibers.
SPRAY NOZZLE MAINTENANCE
Remove the spray nozzles once a week. Soak the nozzles overnight in a vinegar and water solution to remove chemical deposits.
LUBRICATING THE MACHINE
Once a month (or every 30 hours), lubricate all pivot points on the pick-up tool assembly. For best results, use a spray silicone lubricant.
Once a month, pump grease into the grease fittings on the caster wheels until it seeps out around the bearing. Wipe off the excess grease to avoid
staining carpet.
CLEANING THE VACUUM MOTOR FILTERS
Clean the vacuum motor filters daily with compressed air. For extremely dirty filters, wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly with clean
water. Allow the filters to dry completely before re-installing in the machine. MAINTENANCE NOTE: Keep a second set of filters on hand to use
while first set is drying.
ADJUSTING THE BRUSH HEIGHT
Simply turn the Brush Height Adjustment Knob (19) clockwise to raise and counter-clockwise to lower the brush deck. NOTE: The Brush Pressure
Indicator (8) should read 8-15 amps when properly adjusted.
POWER BRUSH MAINTENANCE
Check the brush daily. Remove any built-up string, hair or carpet fibers. Check the bristle length. Have a service technician change the brush
when the brush bristles are worn to 1/2 inch (12.7 mm).
REMOVING THE BRUSH
CAUTION!
Turn the key switch off (O) and remove the key, before changing the brushes, and before opening any access panels.
1 Turn the Master Key Switch OFF and raise the Brush Deck.
2 See figure below. Unsnap Latch (A), remove Pin (B) and Brush Access Door (C). Slide the brush out of the brush deck housing.
3 To reinstall, slide the brush under the brush deck housing, make sure the end with the large slots cut into it is inserted first.
4 Reach under the left side of the brush deck to guide the end of the brush onto the drive lug (E). Push in and turn the brush until it is firmly
seated on the drive lug.
5 IMPORTANT! Make sure that the Bearing Block (D) is seated securely in the door and orientated as shown for “old style (F)”, “new style
(G) ” machines have the bearing block attached to the access door. Hold the end of the brush up while re-installing Brush Access Door (C)
to ensure that the Bearing Block on the inside of the door is securely seated in the end of the brush.
6 Re-install Pin (B) and re-secure Latch (A). Latch should secure easily. If it has to be forced, recheck the position of the brush.
