APPLICATIONS OF 220 RPM
STANDARD SPEED FLOOR MACHINES ON
Carpeting
•Bonnet cleaning with a bonnet and carpet chemical such as
Surround
•Encapsulating using the showerfeed with a Revive ber pad for
heavy duty carpet cleaning. Followed by bonnet cleaning.

the handle tube and collar so the handle tube
will move freely through the collar. Inspect the

CAUTION FREEZING
Be careful when exposing the MiniMax to freezing temperatures.
This can be harmful to water system. When transporting your Mini
Max in freezing temperatures make sure to empty all cleaning
solution from the water tank, pump, and solution lines unless it is in
a heated van. Remove solution from the water tank. Once the water
is drained from the water tank, run the pump for about five seconds
or until no solution comes from the spray tip. Once you have
removed as much solution as you can, disconnect the hose from the
pump via the push lock connections (2) and let drain. Once you
have reassembled the solution line you will need to prime the pump.
To do this fill the water tank with solution. Then turn on or activate
the pump. Also see page 8.
