The body of the carpet cleaning machine Sharon-Brush is composed by two high-density
polyethylene tanks, kept together with elastic hooks. The upper tank is meant to contain the dirty
water sucked from the carpet, while the lower tank is meant to contain clean water and detergent. The
lower tank also contains the vacuum motor, the pump and the control panel. The vacuum head, the
spray nozzle and the rotating brush are situated below the lower tank.
Safety instructions (read carefully)
Every electrical device must be used for its particular function only, respecting the manufacturer’s
instructions. Failure to adhere to the instructions could result in serious person injury, electric shock,
fire or explosion.
The nowadays machines are normally produced according to the accident prevention regulations and
are often homologated by qualified institutes for the safety, but nobody and nothing can save
irresponsible users from danger.
Please, read carefully the following points and be sure to understand everything before using the
machines. The following information signals potentially dangerous conditions to the operator or
equipment.
WARNING: Fire or Explosion Hazard.
Do not spray water near electrical outlets.
Do not use the machine to spray or to suck dust, corrosive liquids (acids or bases) and explosive
or inflammable liquids.
Do not use the machine in an explosive atmosphere. This machine is not equipped with an
explosion proof motor. The electric motor will spark when powered on which could cause a flash
fire or explosion if machine is used in an area where flammable vapors/liquids or combustible
dusts are present.
Never use flammable liquids or operate machine in or near flammable liquids, vapors or
combustible dusts.
WARNING: Electrical Hazard.
Before putting the machine’s plug in the current socket, check that the voltage available is the
same indicated on the label of the machines.
Be sure that the electrical system is well earthed and that it has a safety differential switch.
Verify that the cable plug is complying with the outlet.
Do not modify plug.
Do not use adapters or multiple sockets, without knowing the electrical input of each user.
If any electrical extension is used, check that it corresponds to the absorbed power of the machine
and that the connection of the plug with the socket is complying and sealed.
Take care of the electrical cable. It must be integral and protected from water, tears and chemical
agents. Do not repair the cable in case of tears, but replace it with a new one. The cable must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard.
Do not pull the cable to drag the machine or to pull the plug out.
Pull the plug out only when the machine is switched off.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands.
Unplug cable before servicing machine.
FOR SAFETY:
Do not let the machine being used by children and people unable to understand the danger
connected with the use of electrical power.
Do not bring the end of the suction hose or one of the accessories near your face or others’,
particularly near ears and eyes: the sucked air could seriously damage them.
If the machine is used as a wet vacuum cleaner, you must check the level of water in the recovery
tank, in order to prevent water from being sucked by the vacuum motor.
If the chemical you are using produces foam, or if you are cleaning carpet previously treated with
shampoo, you must put some antifoaming liquid into the recovery tank. In the long run, the foam
sucked by the motor can damage it.
In case of abnormal working (very noisy motor, not running pump, extreme temperature rise, or
other suspicious signals) switch off the machine and pull the plug out.
If foam or liquid escapes from the machine, switch machine off immediately.
After using, store the machine, well cleaned, in a cool and dry place.
