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.

86269870 CARPET MAINTAINER
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.
Safety
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
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.
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.

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.
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 carpet-brushing
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.
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 inconspicuous 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 6001000 sq. ft. per gallon of diluted solution. Do not
over wet.
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.

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.
NOTE: All directions mentioned in this manual are
from the operator’s point of view.
6. Mark left and right on the lift cams.
7. Remove the two cam bolts. This will also free the
lift cams.
NOTE: There are four plastic bushings that the
handle pivots on, leave them on the motor clamps.
8. Remove the handle assembly.

long rear drive end cap. This allows the end cap
to swivel +/- 20 degrees. Do not remove the end
cap screws, only back them off 1 full turn.
17. Put the motor in the cradle on the frame. Place
pulleys onto motor shaft's. Loop the drive belts
onto motor drive pulleys.
18. Place lift brackets on motor, align over pins. Put
the motor/clamp mount assembly over the motor
and lightly snug the retaining bolts. The motor
must be able to turn inside the motor clamps. If
clamps are too tight to move the motor by hand,
loosen clamp bolts.
20. While holding the motor stationary, turn the right
hand gear drive downward so that the gear drive
housing touches the setscrew in the frame. This
set screw was installed on the assembly line and
establishes the correct position for the motor.
21. Tighten the screw in the long gear drive cap.
22. Tighten all four motor clamp bolts.
23. Check both belts for equal tension. The belts
should not sag under their own weight, however,
should flex easily when squeezed with fingers. If
the tension is clearly unequal, loosen the motor
mount bolts and retighten. This will equalize the
belt tension from on side to the other.
24. Reinstall finger guards
25. Reinstall lift brackets with top surface lip on
inside.
26. Reinsert circuit breaker through hole in cover,
reattach cover, circuit breaker boot, and wiring
grommet.

handle assembly.
28. Reattach dome cover.
29. Reattach solution tank and reconnect top hose.
