Cleaning Methods
Premiere Products manufacture over fifty different cleaning and maintenance chemicals designed to cope
with every cleaning task. Detailed information on the range and application of Premiere cleaning chemicals
and equipment is available from our local representative or head office in Cheltenham.
To Shampoo Carpets - Standard Velocity Machines only
1 Shampoo in dry weather or when room is heated. If possible allow for overnight drying.
2 Check that shampoo is compatible with colour fastness of carpet. Test by applying a little shampoo to a small
area of carpet and rub with clean white cloth. If compatible there will be no evidence of colour on the cloth.
3 Move as much furniture as possible from carpet.
4 Raise carpet pile with stiff nylon broom. Then vacuum.
5 Mix shampoo in solution tank according to instructions given on the container.
6 Do not over wet carpet.
7 Apply shampoo until a reasonable amount of lather is visible. (The depth of the pile will determine the
amount of shampoo to be used.)
8 Whilst still damp, restore pile to its natural state using a stiff nylon brush.
9 On completion allow carpet to dry thoroughly then vacuum to remove dry detergent and loosened dirt.
To Scrub Floors - Standard Velocity Machines only
1 Use recommended floor cleaning agent. Mix cleaning agent in solution tank according to instructions on container.
Note: Cork and wood floors, unless sealed, can be damaged by water.
2 Operate machine, releasing cleaning solution as required.
3 Remove suds with mop or Premiere WPU 120, WPU 140 or WPU 160 wet pick up, then rinse thoroughly
with clean water. Remove rinse water.
4 Allow floor to dry out. Apply polish as necessary.
Servicing
Although your new PV5 should give many years of trouble free operation, an annual service by our
engineer is recommended to minimise the risk of an inconvenient and untimely breakdown.
Should a fault occur, the following checking procedure may provide an immediate solution.
DO NOT exceed the basic checks suggested here.
No liability is accepted and both the guarantee and approvals are invalidated if repairs are carried out other
than by a Premiere Products Service Engineer or an approved service agent.
If a service call is required ring 01242 537150 and specify the model name shown on the cmotor cover
label and the serial number stamped on the serial plate located on the base casting located on the base
casting underneath the handle pivot.
If the machine will not start
The plug of the supply cord shall be removed from the socket-outlet before cleaning the appliance or
undertaking maintenance operations.
The power cord has to be regularly inspected for signs of damage. If the power supply cord is damaged, it
has to be replaced.
If neon light is dull or not working, replace fuse in plug, ensuring that it is held tightly by the fuse holder.
Check power supply from the socket by substituting another electrical appliance.
Check if overload switch has tripped, if so reset.
Operation of overload switch
- only fitted to certain High Performance Models
- DIAGRAM 11
Should the machine be subjected to an overload condition the
overload switch will trip out. It can be reset after approx. 30 seconds
by pressing the RED button in the centre of the machine handle.
The machine can then be used again without delay. (A badly
maintained machine and accessories may artificially induce an
overload - refer to machine care Page 2.)
