OVERVIEW
The Carpet Maintainer is designed to maintain carpet using the Quick Dry Carpet Care
System. The machine has two counter rotating brushes that scrub chemical into the
carpet. The chemicals, iCapsol or Prochem ProCaps, encapsulates the dirt, allowing both
to be vacuumed up once the chemical has dried. The brushes also raise the pile of the
carpet. The Deluxe models have a solution tank and pump powered spraying system,
which applies the chemical to the carpet as the machine is used.

THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE
ONLY.
ELECTRICAL
In the USA, this machine operates on a standard 15
amp 120V, 60 hz, A.C. power circuit. The amp,
hertz, and voltage are listed on the data label found
on each machine. Using voltages above or below
those indicated on the data label will cause serious
damage to the motors.
EXTENSION CORDS
If an extension cord is used, the wire size must be at
least one size larger than the power cord on the
machine, and must be limited to 50 feet (15.5m) in
length.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS –
120V ONLY
This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the
plug in “Fig. A”. A temporary adaptor that looks like
the adaptor in “Fig. C” may be used to connect this
plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in “Fig. B”, if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adaptor should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can be installed by
a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear,
lug, or the like extending from the adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.
86269870 04/02/07
SAFETY
! WARNING
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

OPERATIONS
HOW THE MACHINES WORK
The Carpet Maintainer is designed to maintain your
carpet using the Quick Dry Carpet Care System. By
using the Carpet Maintainer in conjunction with
iCapsol or Prochem ProCaps chemical solution, you
can perform a regular light cleaning and grooming of
your carpet very quickly, and have the carpet dry
and ready for traffic within 20 minutes.
The handle movement flexibility allows the machine
to clean under low furniture. There is a hand
operated on/off switch and auto-handle lock keeping
the handle in an upright position. This unit is
equipped with a safety feature that when unplugged
from the wall or the handle dropped, will
automatically reset to the off position .
The debris tray is used to catch unwanted carpet
debris and should be cleaned regularly and prior to
transporting.
This appliance conforms with international and
national safety directives: EN55014-2, EN5504-1,
EN61000-3-2/3-3, EN60335-1/2-10/2-69/2-67. IEC
60335-1/2/10/2-67/2-69. LVD 73/23/EEC.
DELUXE
This unit is equipped with an onboard spray pump
and solution tank. By using the onboard spraying
system a light treatment of chemical can be applied
to the carpet and brushed in during a single pass of
the machine.
QUICK DRY CARPET CARE SYSTEM
INSTRUCTIONS
Test for colorfastness in an inconspicu ous area
before use.
1. Vacuum carpet to remove loose soil.
2. Dilute iCapsol or Prochem ProCaps at 8oz. per
gallon of water (1:16) into the solution tank.
3. Pre-spray carpet to be cleaned at a rate of 600–
1000 sq. ft. per gallon of diluted solution. Do not
over wet.
3-2
86269870 07/11/07
4. No dwell time is required. Do not allow
chemical to dry before brushing.
5. Brush treated area to emulsify soils using
the Windsor iCapsol or other carpetbrushing machine.
6. Allow to dry until dry to touch (approximately
20 minutes) before opening area to traffic.
7. Vacuum carpet when fully dry to remove
encapsulated soil.
Tips: Pre-treat carpet spots with iCapsol Interim
cleaning solution. Work on a manageable area
and do not allow cleaning solution to dry on
carpet before brushing.
DELUXE
The Deluxe is provided with a removable
solution tank. To remove tank for filling and
cleaning, press the gray release button on the
blue coupler located at the top of the tank. Next
remove upper straps from mounting pegs. The
tank will now freely separate from the machine
base. After filling tank remount to machine by
reversing the process mentioned above.
The proper 1:16 dilution ratio can be achieved
by adding one pint (16 oz.) of recommended
chemical and slowly filling the tank with water (2
gallons). Adding water slowly will help prevent
foaming.
To achieve a coverage rate of 600–1000 sq. ft.
per gallon using the onboard sprayer, spray
solution only during the forward stroke of
operation. Use the backstroke to brush the
chemical into the carpet.
MACHINE OPERATION
PRE-RUN INSPECTION
Perform a pre-run inspection to find possible
problems that could cause poor performance or
lost time from breakdown. Check the rating plate
to confirm voltage and frequency is the same as
the power supply. NOTE: A 10% variation in
voltage is acceptable.
STARTING MACHINE
NOTE: Perform pre-run machine check before
operating machine.
FOR SAFETY: Before starting machine, make
sure that all covers are in place and secured
properly.
1. Connect the machine to a power supply.
2. Release the handle lock.
3. (a) Press green button to power on the
machine,120V only.
(b) Set black on/off switch to “on” position,
230V only.
4. Press green button to start brushes.
After applying a light spray of diluted interim
carpet cleaner onto the carpet using a pressurized
tank sprayer, commence cleaning by pushing and
pulling the machine slowly over the wetted carpet.
Move the machine in multiple directions and
overlapping strokes.
For best results use Windsor iCapsol or Prochem
ProCaps products.

MAINTENANCE
BRUSH CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
After each session of 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. After handle is
in locked position, tilt the machine back and rest on
handle. To release brush from spring clip pull spring
clip away from brush end cap. Lift brush out of
machine.
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 after every use as this will increase the life
span of the brushes and ensure even wear.
Before reinstalling brushes, clean out machine brush
housing and hopper by wiping with a clean damp
cloth.
MACHINE MAINTENANCE
The Maintainer requires very little maintenance.
Wipe down the machine periodically with a clean
cloth. DO NOT spray water directly over the top of
machine.
! CAUTION
Deformation of the brush bristles can result in
unbalanced running and excessive vibrating or
jumping.
The machine is fitted with a circuit breaker. In the
unlikely event of overloading, the circuit breaker will
automatically trip. It can be reset after approximately
30 seconds (or when the machine cools down) by
pushing the set button located on the cover housing.
