SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning With Your Rug Doctor Machine and Products

Read all instructions completely before you begin. To assure proper results, test carpets and upholstery for colorfastness. Wet an inconspicuous area with a small amount of cleaner. After 1–2 minutes, blot with a white paper towel and check for color transfer. Follow these additional guidelines when cleaning with your Rug Doctor machine:

  • Rug Doctor machines and Rug Doctor cleaning products are safe for most carpets. However, you risk damage to carpets and hard floor surfaces not intended for water extraction method cleaning. Do not use the Rug Doctor machine or cleaning products on natural fiber oriental rugs (silk or wool), hand-loomed wool rugs, braided rugs, sisal or jute carpets; hardwood or laminate flooring. Some stains require professional treatment. Use cool water when cleaning wool, wool blends or delicate fibers.

  • Rug Doctor machines and Rug Doctor cleaning products are safe for many fabrics, even delicate fibers. However, you risk damage to fabrics not intended for water extraction method cleaning. Do not use Rug Doctor machines or products to clean fabric with cleaning codes S or X, silk, Haitian cotton, velour, brushed corduroy, leather or non- colorfast fabrics, mattresses or mattress toppers made with memory foam, foam or goose down. Some stains require professional treatment. Use cool water when cleaning wool, wool blends or delicate fibers.

  • The machine was designed for use on carpet and upholstery applications in accordance with the instructions and recommendations in this manual. If you use the Rug Doctor machine to clean surfaces other than carpet and upholstery, such as hard surface floors, use only Rug Doctor recommended products. Rug Doctor Oxy Carpet
    Cleaner can be safely and effectively used for either carpeting or water-safe hard surface floor coverings.

  • Do NOT put bleach, dye or products other than Rug Doctor cleaners in this machine. Use of inappropriate products may cause this machine to malfunction and may result in carpet or machine damage.

  • Foam should never be ingested through the dome filter. Damage to the carpet and/or vacuum motor could result.

  • To Reduce the Risk of Fire and Electric Shock due to internal component damage, use only Rug Doctor® cleaning products intended for use with this appliance.

  • Avoid picking up hard or sharp objects with the carpet cleaning machine. They may damage the machine. Do not use the machine for dry vacuuming because this machine does not have a fine dust filter. Dry vacuuming damages the vacuum motor.

  • Do not use the machine to vacuum large quantities of liquid, such as a flooded basement or large spill. This machine is not equipped with an automatic overflow shutoff.

  • To avoid damage, do not place the machine or hand tool on hardwood or laminate flooring or allow any solution or overspray to contact such flooring.

  • To avoid pump damage, do not continue to press the spray (pump) switch when the solution tank is empty.
    Read instructions carefully. Rug Doctor, LLC is not responsible for damage due to misuse of this machine.

Carpet Cleaning Tips for Best Results
  • Treating difficult spots. Rug Doctor machines are designed to deep clean and extract in one cleaning pass. Your best choice for cleaning difficult spots, stains or traffic areas is to use Rug Doctor’s specialty products.
  • Avoid over-wetting your carpet. Do not go over a heavily-soiled spot more than 2 times. Berber, Multi-Level or Looped carpets retain more liquid. For these types of carpets, DO NOT repeat cleaning passes. If additional cleaning is desired, allow carpets to dry before attempting to re-clean heavily-soiled areas. Because they retain more liquid, Berber carpets that are over-wet can experience “wick up” of soils or spills very deeply embedded in the carpet or backing. If you experience this problem, allow area to dry completely then clean again using single, quick passes (1-2 feet per second).
  • Cleaning Berber carpet; You can use your Rug Doctor machine to clean Berber carpet. For best results, make only one pass while depressing the thumb switch to release solution. Make a second pass over the same area without pressing the switch so that you are only vacuuming the liquid. Make sure the vacuum slot at the front bottom edge of the machine is snug against the carpet.
  • Overlap passes slightly to cover all areas. IMPORTANT: When pressing the red button, keep machine moving so vibrating brush does not agitate in one place.
  • Liquid recovery. You should recover 70 – 80% of the liquid used depending on your carpet type. With Berber carpet, you may recover a little less liquid.
  • Avoid excessive foam in the recovery tank, which can be expelled through the machine and may affect your carpet. If foaming occurs, turn off the machine and empty the upper white tank if it is full.
  • If you replace furniture before the carpet is completely dry, place aluminum foil under furniture legs to prevent stains. Leave aluminum foil under furniture legs until carpet is completely dry.
  • For faster drying, ventilate area. Open doors and windows. Place fans pointed downward on carpet. Turn on heat in damp or cold weather. Turn on air conditioner in humid or hot weather. This is highly recommended when cleaning Berber carpets.

Cleaning Carpets

Before You Begin

Review machine safety warnings found in the front of this manual. Using a normal dry vacuum cleaner, vacuum the area you want to clean to remove loose dirt before using the Rug Doctor machine. This will help keep the brushes and water vacuum system working efficiently. Pre-treat any special problem areas with appropriate Rug Doctor solutions.

Set Up

Check the back of the machine to ensure hose connections are secure and set to clean carpet instead of upholstery (ILLUS.1)
Cleaning Instructions
Lift up on the recovery latch and raise dome hood (ILLUS.2).
Cleaning Instructions
Remove the recovery tank.
Depending on how dirty your carpets are, add 2oz- 4oz (1/4 to 1/2) cup of Rug Doctor Oxy Carpet Cleaner product per gallon of hot tap water in a clean bucket (ILLUS.3).
Cleaning Instructions
Use caution to insure water is not so hot as to scald or burn skin.
The lower tank capacity for the Rug Doctor
Mighty Pro X3™ is 3 gallons. Fill the lower tank with the Rug Doctor Oxy Cleaning solution by pouring through the white filter screen. Machine is full when liquid halfway covers the filter screen (ILLUS.4).
Cleaning Instructions
Replace recovery tank and close the dome hood (ILLUS.2).
Cleaning Instructions
Plug in the power cord and position the machine. Refer to the label on the side of the handle. Slide the switch to the “Carpet” position for carpet cleaning (ILLUS.5).
Cleaning Instructions

Start Cleaning

While depressing the press for spray red button on the top of the handle (ILLUS.6),
Cleaning Instructions
pull the machine slowly and steadily backward in a  straight line, keeping vacuum slot against the carpet surface. On lightly soiled carpets, you can pull the machine quickly at one foot per second. For moderately, or heavily soiled carpets, pull the machine at approximately one foot every two seconds. You will begin to see soiled solution entering the clear dome. (If you do not, stop and refer to the Troubleshooting section).
IMPORTANT: When depressing the press for spray red button, keep machine moving so the vibrating brush does not agitate in one place (ILLUS.7).
Cleaning Instructions
Release the red button 6 to 12 inches before ending each pass to stop cleaning solution. Tilt machine back and push it forward to start a new backward cleaning pass (ILLUS.8).
Cleaning Instructions
Continue cleaning in this manner, overlapping each pass slightly. When the lower tank runs out of cleaning solution, the pump sound will increase in volume slightly and dirty water will stop entering the dome. Switch the machine to “0” for the off position. Remove and empty the recovery tank by pouring dirty solution into a toilet or outdoors (ILLUS.9).
Cleaning Instructions
Rinse the recovery tank and refill the lower tank with clean solution/water mixture using a clean bucket. If you are near the end of your cleaning job, fill the lower tank half full so it empties by the end of your job. Replace the recovery tank.
Continue the cleaning process until area to be cleaned is covered. When cleaning is complete, switch the machine to “0” for the off position. To drain and clean the machine, please refer to the Maintaining Your Rug Doctor Machine section.

Cleaning Upholstery

Set Up

Prepare surfaces for cleaning by thoroughly vacuuming or brushing. When cleaning and drying cushions, first spread sheets or towels on the floor as a drying surface for the dampened cushions.
Disconnect the machine’s large vacuum hose. Reconnect the top portion to the large vacuum hose of hand tool. Slide up the brass “quick coupler” ring and pull out the small solution hose (ILLUS.1).

Special Application
Turn on the machine by sliding the switch to the “Tool” position on the side of the handle (ILLUS.4).
Special Application

Start Cleaning

Test upholstery for colorfastness by first cleaning a small, hidden area, then rubbing the test area with a white paper towel. If no color appears, continue cleaning. A little color on the towel means there is some chance of color running, but it is likely you can still clean safely. Try using cool or cold water and test again with a white paper towel.
Working at a slow, steady pace, begin cleaning by squeezing the hand tool lever as you pull the tool over fabric (ILLUS.5). Overlap strokes slightly.
Special Application
When cleaning is complete, switch the machine to “0” for the off position.
Disconnect both of the hoses from the machine. Holding the hose ends over a sink, squeeze the hand tool trigger until all liquid is drained.
To drain and clean the machine, refer to the Maintaining Your Rug Doctor Machine section. Reconnect the machine vacuum and solution hoses.
NOTE: For velvet upholstery, fluff up damp pile with a soft brush or towel to keep from matting.

Maintaining Your Rug Doctor Machine

Follow these guidelines to ensure your Rug Doctor machine will last a lifetime.
Failure to comply with the instructions, cautions and safety warnings in this manual voids the warranty:

  • Drain the machine by spraying out remaining solution over a floor drain or outdoors (never in rain or on wet ground).
    Do not allow machine to stand in liquid while emptying. For best results, spray out liquid with machine set to “Tool” to prevent brushes from movement and wear while emptying. Using this method, you can spray out remaining liquid either through Hand Tool or machine spray tips.

  • Clean the vibrating brush by pulling down on the plastic brush body ( Refer to Replacing A Brush Section ). After each use, unplug the machine from power source and use your finger or an old comb to remove any debris from the vibrating brush. If you used any Rug Doctor attachments, also remove debris from the attachment vacuum slot.

  • Clean the vacuum filter. After each use, inspect the cylindrical filter screen located inside of the clear plastic dome on the front of the machine. If debris is present, remove the filter screen by pushing it right and compressing the spring until the filter end is clear of the dome. Clean by running water through the screen from the inside to the outside. Replace by compressing the spring wire and inserting the black end securely into place in the hole inside the dome.

  • Clean the solution tank filter screen. After each use, inspect the rectangular filter screen located in the fill opening of the solution (lower) tank. If debris is present, remove screws that hold the filter in place and remove filter from the solution tank opening. Clean filter by holding it under a water faucet and letting the water run through the filter in the opposite direction from the normal filling flow. Replace the filter screen and fasten it in place with the two mounting screws.

  • Clean the solution tank line strainer. When the solution tank filter screen is removed for cleaning, inspect the cylindrical filter mounted on the end of the solution line inside of the lower tank. If debris is present, remove the filter by pulling it off the solution line. Hold the filter under flowing water until debris is cleared. Replace the filter by pushing it over the end of the solution hose.

  • Remove carpet fibers from vacuum slot. Periodically check the vacuum slot on the  bottom front of the machine for debris. Remove any fiber, hair or other debris that may be caught in the slot. Always make sure the machine is in the “0” position (for off), unplugged and the tanks are empty.

Caring for Your Machine

  • Always use recommended Rug Doctor cleaning agents. Do not use dye or bleach in this machine. Dye and bleach will permanently damage your carpets.
  • Store the machine indoors out of dusty, wet and freezing areas. This prolongs the life of your Rug Doctor machine and helps keep it trouble free.
  • Do not expose Rug Doctor machines to freezing temperatures for a prolonged period of time. In freezing temperatures, liquid in the machine system can damage the pump and solution hoses.
  • Use care when transporting your Rug Doctor machine. Rug Doctor machines are designed for rugged use. However, avoid mishandling such as dropping the unit or transporting it in an open van or truck. Jarring from sudden vehicle starts or stops can damage the machine.
