Function

With the PW 30/1, the dirt is brushed out of the carpet by a rapidly running brush in addition to the spray extraction process. This allows thorough cleaning of even severely soiled carpets.

Startup

Get the washing vacuum Puzzi ready to operate.
Connect the spray/suction hose to the appliance (Fig. A, B).
**Connect the PW 30/1 to the spray/suction hose (Fig. C). Ensure that the couplings of the pressure hose lock-in.
Using the additional socket:**

Slide the protective cover in the direction of the arrow with the PW 30/1 appliance plug.
Insert the PW 30/1 appliance plug into the auxiliary socket of the washing vacuum Puzzi.
Operate the PW 30/1 as per the operating instructions.

Operation

Turning on the Appliance
Startup the washing vacuum Puzzi.
Start the brush drive on the appliance switch of the PW 30/1 (Fig. D).
Note: The brush drive will stop when the brush is blocked. For troubleshooting instructions see “Fault assistance”.

Cleaning

Use the valve handle (Fig. E). This will spray on the detergent solution. The wastewater will be immediately vacuumed back up via the suction nozzle.
Pull the PW 30/1 backward in slightly overlapping runs over the carpet.
Start in location so that you will not have to walk on already cleaned areas.
Release the valve handle while driving forward (empty lift).
