BRUSH CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
After each session or carpet cleaning, the brushes
and the brush housing should be cleaned. Before
cleaning or changing the brushes, always unplug
the machine from the power supply.
Brushes are removed without tools. Tilt and rest
the machine on the handle. Push the brush axles
(shafts) out of their bearings by hand. Pull axles
through the brush and machine housing.
The brushes may be soaked in warm or hot water
using mild detergent, and then rinsed with warm
water. NOTE: Brushes with crushed bristles can
often be restored to original condition by soaking in
hot water.
Keep brushes clean and free from debris. Rotate
brushes regularly as this will increase the life span
of the brushes and ensure even wear.
Before reinstalling brushes, clean out machine
brush housing by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
MACHINE MAINTENANCE
The Rombus Maintainer requires very little
maintenance. Wipe down the machine periodically
with a clean cloth and ensure motor air vents are
not obstructed. DO NOT spray water directly over
the top of machine.
During interruptions of the cleaning process,
always place the machine into the tray or lay it on
it’s side (gear housing) to prevent deformation of
the brush bristles.
Deformation of the brush bristles can result in
unbalanced running and excessive vibrating or
jumping.
The machine is fitted with an overload switch. In
the unlikely event of overloading, the machine
overload switch will automatically trip. It can be
reset after approximately 30 seconds (or when the
machine cools down) by pushing the set button on
the gear housing.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
1. Clean and inspect brushes.
2. Clean and inspect brush housing and
machine.
3. Inspect power cord for wear or damage. This
cable will lie on wet carpet. To prevent
electrical shock replace cords that are frayed
or have cracked insulation immediately.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1. Check all handles, switches, knobs, electrical
cables and connections on your machine for
damage. Repair or replace immediately.
2. Inspect and/or replace brushes.
3. Inspect and clean (if necessary) brush guard
of any outside debris.
