sysTeM Clean-up
When the carpet cleaning process is complete, it’s time to clean the system. De-activate all switches to “OFF” position.
1) Empty and rinse recovery tank.
2) Empty solution tank.
a. To empty solution tank of unused solution, turn vacuum switch to “ON” position.
b. With vacuum hose still connected to the inlet and vacuum running, drop the end of the vacuum hose (opposite the end plugged
into the vacuum inlet) down through the solution tank fill hole (page 3, #2) and SLOWLY remove the unused solution from
the solution tank until empty. The system will transfer the solution to the recovery waste tank for disposal. In the process, the
solution cleans out the inside of the vacuum hose.
NOTE: Take caution to remove the solution SLOWLY! Make sure to rinse solution tank with the plain hot water to minimize
chemical build-up. After rinsing solution tank, transfer rinse water in the same manner mentioned above.
c. Deactivate and unplug the system
d. Empty the recovery tank and clean.
e. Remove vacuum and solution hose from system. Wipe down all exterior areas of the system.
3) Your CP3 system is now ready for storage until the next job!

Daily (At the conclusion of each work day)
1) Empty, rinse and clean solution and recovery tanks with plain hot water thoroughly cleaning dirt and obstructions from inside the
tanks.
2) Clean vacuum and solution hoses thoroughly.
3) Run plain hot water through solution tank and pump to prevent any chemical build-up.
4) Wipe down all exterior surfaces with an all-purpose type cleaner, then apply a light coat of vinyl protectant to all exterior surfaces.
5) Lubricate couplings, hinges and wheels with silicone-type spray.
6) Inspect the solution tank filter and recovery tank dome filter for hair and debris. The filter should always be kept clean and
unobstructed.
7) Inspect electrical cord for damage or fraying and repair as necessary.
8) Store unit away from direct sunlight and freezing temperature.
MONTHly
1) Inspect internally for:
a. Loose nuts and/or screws
b. Leaking hoses
c. Loose wiring
d. Anything that doesn’t appear correct
2) Flush the system with 2 cups white vinegar per gallon of hot water solution. Follow by circulating plain hot water through the
system via the solution tank. This helps reduce and neutralize any alkalai and chemical build-up.
NOTE: To prevent shock hazard, remember to unplug main power source before inspection or repair of the system.
