How to use an accessory heater:

  1. Fill the solution tank of your R500H extractor with sufficient water or solution for the task at hand. Do not use water over 130 degrees F.

  2. Mount the Heater by lining up the two “legs” (#7 on page 11) to the two mounting brackets on the rear of the machine (#11 on page 10)

  3. Connect your heater’s inlet hose (#1 on page 11) to the machine’s outlet quick disconnect (#6 on page 10).

  4. Connect your 25ft solution hose to outlet quick disconnect (#5 on page 11).

Minuteman-R500H-Rush-Carpet-Extractor-fig-7

  1. Your R500H has two cords- One for the Extractor and one for the heater. Each cord requires a separate 15AMP circuit. Connect your 50FT power cord to the twist lock pigtail on the heater (#4 on page 11). Plug another 50ft power cord to the twist lock pigtail on the back of the machine (#6 on page 10)

  2. Connect your 25ft vacuum hose to the extractor’s vacuum inlet barb (#5 on page 10)

  3. Connect your vacuum and solution line to a carpet wand or Upholstery attachment

  4. COMPLETE THIS STEP BEFORE TURNING HEATER ON: Turn the pump switch to the “ON” position using the pump switch on the handle of your R500H. Pressing the solution valve trigger of your attachment, spray water for 10-15 seconds until you have a steady flow. This ensures the heater is filled with fluid

  5. Turn heater on using the power switch (#2 on page 11) and allow up to 3 minutes for the unit to heat up.

  6. The heater is ready for use once the green lamp (#3 on page 11) shuts off. Once you start cleaning, the green lamp will turn on and off throughout your job as the thermostats automatically regulate the temperature.

CLEANING CARPET

  1. Using a dedicated dry vacuum, pre-vacuum the space to be cleaned to remove as much dirt as possible. Do not use the extractor to dry vacuum as it does not have a dry filter.
  2. Pre-spray the carpet
  3. See steps 1-11 in section “Accessory Heater”
  4. Make sure the drain valve (#10 on page 10) is closed by pushing the T-handle all the way in.
  5. Always use de-foamer- Previously shampooed carpets usually have a heavy build-up of old shampoo residue which can cause the vacuum system to ingest foam and result in damage to the vacuum motor.
  6. With the vacuum and pump switches in the “ON” position, slowly pull the tool towards you with the solution valve trigger pressed. Make a dry pass for- ward and backward over the cleaned area to recover residual dirt and solution.
  7. Do not overwet carpet! Make overlapping passes to prevent streaking.
  8. If the carpet is heavily soiled, squeeze solution valve trigger on the forward pass as well as backwards, allowing cleaning solution a few seconds longer to work prior to vacuuming. Another method is to raise the wand 8″ above the carpet and pre-spray lightly prior to cleaning passes. On extremely soiled carpets, we recommend using a pre-spray solution.
  9. When you are close to running out of solution, turn off the pump and the heater. Attach the drain elbow on the drain valve. Place a pail under the downspout and pull up the drain valve T-handle. Dirty solution will pour out until the tank is empty. Close the drain valve. Use a clean bucket when you refill the solution tank so you do not create contamination.
  10. When the job is completed, turn the switches off, including the heater, and disconnect the vacuum and solution hoses from the carpet tool and the machine. Drain the recovery tank through the drain valve as before.

CLEANING UPHOLSTERY

  • Cleaning upholstery with success requires a good knowledge of the type of fabric to be worked on. Look for the cleaning instruction label sewn on the underside of the furniture for the recommended method of cleaning the fabric. If it calls for dry cleaning, do not attempt to clean with the wet extraction method. Otherwise, damage to the fabric could occur. Extraction works perfectly on most synthetic fabrics including synthetic velvets.
  • Before proceeding, test the fabric for colorfastness. Apply a small amount of ready-to-use cleaning solution on the fabric in an inconspicuous spot. Wait for 2 to 3 minutes and rub the area with a white terry cloth towel. If no color comes off the towel, the fabric should be safe to clean. If a little color comes off, there is some risk of colors running when you clean. It may be possible to stabilize colors by cleaning with an acidic rinse.
    1. Using a dedicated dry vacuum, pre-vacuum the space to be cleaned to remove as much dirt as possible. Do not use the extractor to dry vacuum as it does not have a dry filter.
    2. See steps 1-11 in section “Accessory Heater”
    3. Make sure the drain valve (#10 on page 10) is closed by pushing the T-handle all the way in.
    4. Attach an upholstery tool to the hose set.
    5. Always use de-foamer. Previously cleaned upholstery may have a heavy build-up of old shampoo residue which can cause the vacuum system to ingest foam and result in damage to the vacuum motor.
    6. With the vacuum and pump switches in the “ON” position, slowly pull the tool backward with the solution valve trigger pressed. Make a dry pass forward and backward over the cleaned area to recover residual dirt and solution.
    7. Clean using as little solution as possible. Do not overwet the upholstery! Make overlapping passes to prevent streaking.
    8. On heavily soiled areas like arm rests, pre-treat with a recommended pre-spray and /or hold the upholstery tool a few inches above the fabric and press lever to spray on the solution before making a pass.
