OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FILLING THE AMBASSADOR
Remove clear solution cover lid from front of machine, page 7, item 32. Fill solution tank with desired
amount of warm water and add liquid cleaning chemical, Minuteman Extraction Shampoo order
#902163. (See instructions on container for proper dilutions.) DO NOT USE powdered cleaning
chemicals. Powders are unlikely to dissolve thoroughly, resulting in clogging the inline solution strainer.
This can reduce or stop solution flow to the pump and spray jets.
Carpet should be thoroughly vacuumed and obstacles relocated before beginning the cleaning cycle.
Heavy traffic lane areas should be pre-treated or spotted with Minuteman Pre-Treat order #902183
for best results.
TO BEGIN CLEANING:
1. Always work away from the cord.
2. Machine operates by pulling backwards over carpet.
3. Vacuum Lid Assembly (page 7) should be properly seated on Recovery Tank (item 40) for proper
vacuum recover. See figure 3 for hose hookup.
4. See page 5, Control Panel Switch Identifications: Normal Cleaning Mode
1. Turn on vacuum switch (1).
2. Turn on brush switch (2).
3. Turn on pump switch to continuous (3).
4. Adjust brush pressure (figure 2) at rear of machine, until brush pressure gauge reads in green
zone.
5. Solution pump should be turned off to the center switch position, page 5 (4), 6" before the end
of each cleaning pass.
During the cleaning cycle, care should be taken not to allow foam to build up in the recovery tank. If
this should happen, the machine should be turned off. Defoamer order #910543 should be added to
the recovery tank only, never into the solution tank. Foam should not be allowed to enter vacuum filter
screen.
The recovery waste water level can be viewed from the operator’s position of the machine through
the visible recovery dome. When waste water is within 2" of the top of the recovery tank, the tank
should be emptied. (NOTE : Never tilt machine completely back with recovery tank in place. Always
remove tank and set to the side before tilting complete machine.) Recovery tank can be emptied by
lifting visible recovery dome and lifting out tank by front handle. A handle gripping area is provided in
the front bottom of the recovery tank to tilt and pour the waste water out.
AUXILIARY TOOL HOOK UP
1. Remove grey hose fitting from clear recovery dome and install auxiliary hose assembly cuff to
grey fitting by passing through rear of machine. Hook up solution hose to auxiliary out coupler at
rear of machine.
2. Turn vacuum switch to on.
3. Turn pump auxiliary switch to on (page 5, item 6). All other switches should be off.
