CHEMICALS

The internal parts of the pump used in
the extractor is suitable for use with
most carpet cleaning chemicals. But it
is susceptible

to

chemical attach from
some cleaning substances, such as
hydrocarbon solvents and chlorinated
bleaches. These noncompatible materi

areas or the “intermittent solution”
button for cleaning in smaller, more

confined areas. Walking backwards,

move the extractor over the area to
be cleaned. The extractor’s brush

1

)

4.

Make sure that solution tank has
cleaning solution and that recovery
tank and dome are in place and ready
for operation.

5.

Switch on ADM’s vacuum and con

­tlnous solution switches only. Use
accessory tools as with any standard
extractor.

WARNING:

Do not switch on brush
switch when operating the ADM with
accessory tools. Carpet damage may
occur.

6.
