thoroughly tests every
machine it sells before it is packaged. When
you receive your new machine, examine the
packaging for signs of shipping damage.
Carefully unpack the machine and inspect it.
If you see evidence of damage to the
container or the contents, contact the
freight carrier immediately.
Additionally, ensure all parts and accessories are
present; if you notice anything missing, contact
your distributor without delay.
NORMAL USE:
The
Diamond
Carbon
Spot
55
and
Carbon
Spot
55
H
are designed to clean small
areas like furniture, area rugs,
automobiles, and spots in carpets. These
machines are not suited for cleaning the
carpet in an entire room.
CHEMICALS:
The use of clear water in the machine is
recommended, with the use of properly diluted
cleaner applied as a pre-spray on the area to
be cleaned; however, you may mix water and
cleaning chemicals in a bucket -- according to
directions on the chemical label -- and then
pour into the solution tank. If you chose to
use chemicals in the machine, always use a
cleaner with a pH as close to neutral as possible
to avoid premature wear of the pump, seals,
and/or other components. Damage caused by
the use of strong chemicals is not covered by
the warranty.
The use of powder chemicals is discouraged;
unless they are mixed very thoroughly and
rinsed out completely at the end of the job,
powdered cleaners could cause a build-up in the
pump, lines, heater and/or quick disconnects.
Any problem caused by a chemical build-up is
not covered by warranty.
If foaming occurs as you clean, use a defoamer,
either in the recovery tank or on the area being
cleaned, to prevent overfl ow which can cause
water damage.
TOOLS & ACCESSORIES:
Use only manufacturer’s recommended tools
and accessories. The hand tool is made
from stainless steel and will provide years of
trouble-free use. If the spray valve begins to
leak or if the spray tip gets worn and is no
longer providing a nice even spray pattern,
order a replacement part from your distributor.
The solution line and vacuum hose are made
of durable and long-lasting components and,
with proper care, they both should last for
years. Use a spray silicone to keep the quick
connect couplings moving freely.
CARE & MAINTENANCE:
For optimum performance fl ush the machine
with clear water at the end of each working
day. Once a month, minimum, run a fl ushing
compound through the machine to break up
any mineral or chemical build-up that may have
formed from the use of hard water or chemicals.
The vacuum motor and the pump do not require
any scheduled maintenance; however, the
vacuum motor may require replacement brushes
after 700 - 1000 hours.
To help maintain a professional image, clean the
body with an all purpose detergent, and protect
it with automobile interior polish. Lubricate the
wheels, castors, and quick disconnects with an
all purpose, silicone spray.
