Product details, use and care

The K353 is an unmatched machine in the carpet cleaning industry.

The difference between this machine and the K352 is that the K353 has more powerful vacummotors built in for superior suction power.

The machine itself has 2 vacuum motors that may be switched on individually depending on the requirement for suction power.

Furthermore the machine also has a water pump that is used for pumping water from the machine to the tools that will be used by the operator.

The machine comes with accessories as well. Among this is:

• 1 × Floortool
• 1 × Handtool
• 2 × Lids

Specifications for the K353:

• The 5m blue pipe has the H8C and a QR(P) attached the either end of the pipe.
• The fittings are held together by two small clamps.
• The black hose and blue pipe are connected by cable ties.

Specifications on the Lids

Carpet Cleaning Instructions

Preparations before cleaning the carpets

1. Remove or move all furniture from areas to be cleaned.
2. Remove all small items such as matches etc. from the carpets.
3. Vacuum carpets thoroughly, if necessary to remove dust etc.

Preparations of the A-Z Chem Carpet Machine

1. Connect the suction hose to the machine, as well as the floor tool by pushing the plastic couplings over the water inlet and the floor tool.
2. Attach the waterpipe to the machine and the floor tool by means of the metal couplings.
3. Make sure that the ring is firmly in place or else no water will come through.
4. Make sure that the lids on the tank for dirty water are placed in the correct position.
5. Plug the electrical cord in wall plug.

Preparations of Chemicals

1. Mix 5-10g low foam powder per litre warm water in a clean bucket.
2. Mix the clean water and chemicals well before filling the clean water tank.
3. Always test for colour fastness by cleaning a small piece of the carpet first.

Cleaning Method

1. Switch on the switches (vacuum motors and the pump)
2. Test the electronic control unit.
3. Check if the light is on
4. Splash a few drops of water on the two electrodes to see if the light switches off.
5. Dry electrodes before continuing the cleaning process.
6. Hold the floor tool about 100mm above the carpet and use the trigger to spray the chemicals on the carpets.
7. Move the floor tool slowly forwards and backwards over the carpets for approximately 1m.
8. Repeat the process by spraying 3-4 lanes.
9. Meanwhile the chemicals will already loosen some of the dirt that can be sucked up by pushing the floor tool forwards and backwards.
10. If the carpet is still dirty repeat step 6 to 9.
11. Clean the rest of the carpet on the same method.
12. It is very important not to spray too much water at a time.

Refill

1. Continuously check the level of the water in the dirty water tank.
2. Switch off the vacuum motors when the tank is nearly full.
3. Open the drainvalve and empty all the dirt from the tank.
4. Fill-up the clean water tank, if necessary and continue the cleaning process.
5. In case the water level in the dirty water tank rises too high, the vacuum motors will switch off automatically. That is a safety device to protect the vacuum motors.

Cleaning Completed

1. Switch off the machine.
2. Drain the dirty water tank.
3. Switch on the vacuum motors and only use the black suction hose to suck up the water left in the clean water tank.
4. Fill the fresh water tank with about 5L clean water (without chemicals). Spray out all the water. That is to prevent that the chemicals do not harm the pump.
5. Repeat the first and second step again.
6. Remove all the hoses.
7. Rinse the dirty tank.
8. Clean the machine with a cloth.

Upholstery

1. Connect the hand tool instead of the floor tool.
2. Use the same chemicals and method as for carpets.
3. Always test for colour fastness.

Directions for use

1. The water mixed with chemicals must then be poured into the machine's clean water tank that is located at the rear-end of the machine, it is identified by the large rectangular opening with a filter at the bottom.
2. After the water has been poured the operator may choose to use the Floor- or Handtool. The suction hose may be connected down the bottom of the front-end of the machine, and the other end may be connected to the brass-fitting on the tool to be used.
3. The suction hose may be connected at the top of the front-end of the machine, and the other end may be connected to the brass-fitting on the tool to be used.
4. The suction hose cuff should be pushed over the grey opening at the top of the front of the machine, and the other end should be pushed over the back-opening of the tool to be used.
5. When fit for use, the machine must be plugged into a power outlet, note that an extension is not desirable as the machine draws a lot of power and may cause the DB-box to latch off due to over current.
6. When the machine receives power, at the bottom at the bottom of the front of the machine a small orange light will shine to indicate power. Above the orange light is three switches. The first two control each of the vacuum-motors individually, the last switch controls the water pump.
7. To use in full-force, switch all three switches on. The machine will roar from the two vacuum-motors and the pump will give a few short pumps until the blue water pipe is filled and a pressure switch deactivates the pump.
