Maintenance
To receive reliable service from this equipment, regular daily
maintenance is a requirement. Fabric cleaning, both carpet
and upholstery, are very dirty environments for any equipment.
The following recommendations are offered.
1. Keep the equipment clean, both inside and out.
2. Lubricate brass quick disconnects and drain valves with
a quality lubricant such as WD-40.

maintenance with clear, clean water. (A white vinegar

water and alkaline deposits and aid in keeping
orifices clean.

overnight. The unit should be emptied and cleaned daily.
