GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL
USE ONLY.
ELECTRICAL:
In the USA this machine operates on a standard 15 amp 115V, 60 hz, A.C. power circuit . The amp, hertz, and voltage are listed on the data label found on each machine.
Using voltages above or below those indicated on the data label will cause serious damage to the motors.
EXTENSION CORDS:
If an extension cord is used, the wire size must be at least one size larger than the power cord on the machine, and must be limited to 50 feet (15.5m) in length.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug in “Fig. A”. A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor in “Fig . C” may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in “Fig. B”, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or wire extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
ROMBUS 980279 09/20/05
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.

The Windsor Rombus Carpet Maintainer is designed to maintain your carpet using the
Rombus Quick Clean, Quick Dry Carpet Care
System. By using the Rombus Carpet Maintainer in conjunction with Windsor Red Carpet Rombus
Carpet Clean (W145-4) chemical solution, you can perform a regular light cleaning and grooming of your carpet very quickly, and have the carpet dry and ready for traffic within 30 minutes.
The Rombus machine handle detaches for easy stair cleaning, transportation and compact storage. The handle has a 180 degree movement for maximum flexibility and allows the machine to clean under low furniture. There is a foot operated on/off switch and handle lock keeping the handle in an upright position when placed in the tray.
The tray is for machine storage when not in use.
This will protect the brush bristles from being crushed.
The brush guard protects the machine brushes by preventing loose threads or wires (telephone or electrical) getting caught-up in the brushes.
This appliance conforms with international and national safety directives: EN55014-2, EN5504-1,
EN61000-3-2/3-3, EN60335-1/2-10/2-69/2-67.
IEC 60335-1/2/10/2-67/2-69. LVD 73/23/EEC.
HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
ROMBUS 980279 09/20/05
3-2
PRE-RUN MACHINE INSPECTION
Perform a pre-run inspection to find possible problems that could cause poor performance or lost time from breakdown. Check the rating plate to confirm voltage and frequency is the same as the power supply. NOTE: A 10% variation in voltage is acceptable.
STARTING MACHINE
1.
2.
NOTE: Perform pre-run machine check before operating machine.
FOR SAFETY: Before starting machine, make sure that all covers are in place and secured properly.
Connect the machine to a power supply.
Take the machine out of the tray. Do this by leaning the machine back and wheeling away from the tray. NOTE: Place the tray out of the way when machine in use.
3.

ROMBUS 980279 09/20/05
MACHINE OPERATION
MACHINE SHUT-DOWN AND
STORAGE
1. Depress the foot switch to power off machine.
2. Lock handle in the upright position.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the power supply. Wind the power cord around the cable holder on the handle.
4. Remove the brushes for cleaning. See
Brush Cleaning and Maintenance section.
5. Once daily maintenance has been performed, place the machine back into the tray.
The machine is now ready for storage until the next use. Make sure to store your equipment in a dry place to prolong the life of your machine.
Storage outdoors or unprotected could cause damage to your machine or internal parts, therefore voiding your warranty.
!
CAUTION
When not in use or during interrupted cleaning, the machine must always be placed in the tray provided to prevent deformation of the brush bristles. Deformation of brush bristles can result in unbalanced running and excessive vibrating or jumping.
3-3
BRUSH CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
After each session or carpet cleaning, the brushes and the brush housing should be cleaned. Before cleaning or changing the brushes, always unplug the machine from the power supply.
Brushes are removed without tools. Tilt and rest the machine on the handle. Push the brush axles
(shafts) out of their bearings by hand. Pull axles through the brush and machine housing.
The brushes may be soaked in warm or hot water using mild detergent, and then rinsed with warm water. NOTE: Brushes with crushed bristles can often be restored to original condition by soaking in hot water.
Keep brushes clean and free from debris. Rotate brushes regularly as this will increase the life span of the brushes and ensure even wear.
Before reinstalling brushes, clean out machine brush housing by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
MACHINE MAINTENANCE
The Rombus Maintainer requires very little maintenance. Wipe down the machine periodically with a clean cloth and ensure motor air vents are not obstructed. DO NOT spray water directly over the top of machine.
During interruptions of the cleaning process, always place the machine into the tray or lay it on it’s side (gear housing) to prevent deformation of the brush bristles.
!
CAUTION
Deformation of the brush bristles can result in unbalanced running and excessive vibrating or jumping.
The machine is fitted with an overload switch. In the unlikely event of overloading, the machine overload switch will automatically trip. It can be reset after approximately 30 seconds (or when the machine cools down) by pushing the set button on the gear housing.
MAINTENANCE
DAILY MAINTENANCE
1. Clean and inspect brushes.
2. Clean and inspect brush housing and machine.
3. Inspect power cord for wear or damage. This cable will lie on wet carpet. To prevent electrical shock replace cords that are frayed or have cracked insulation immediately.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1. Check all handles, switches, knobs, electrical cables and connections on your machine for damage. Repair or replace immediately.
2. Inspect and/or replace brushes.
3. Inspect and clean (if necessary) brush guard of any outside debris.
