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 power ed spraying system, which appli es 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.
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, EN61000-32/3-3, EN60335-1/2-10/2-69/2-67. IEC 60335-1/2 /10/267/2-69. 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 car pet
and brushed in during a single pass of the machine.
Quick Dry Carpet Care System
Instructions
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.
The proper 1:16 dilution ratio can be achieved by
adding one pint (16 oz.) of recommended chem ical 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.
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.

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.
