•

Clean the waste tank and vacuum filter daily.

Do not allow the vacuum shut-off filter to clog and do not restrict the free movement of the ball float (where fitted). Empty recovery tank regularly during use, do not wait for it to fill up and cut the vacuum motor out.

•

Clean the drain valve regularly. Lubricate the valve shaft, slide and PVC elbow connection with suitable oil or maintenance spray. Do not drain the waste tank completely until the end of each job, as this will tend to clog the seal with debris and sediment.

•

After use, flush through the pump, solution lines and waste tank with at least two gallons of

• hot water.

Do not allow the machine, hoses or tools to freeze. Freezing may seriously damage the pump and fittings. Always drain solution and store indoors when not in use. When in transit during freezing weather, insulate and cover machine, wand and hoses.

Endeavor Manual 1/6/14 Page 8 of 29

UNDERSTANDING YOUR SOIL EXTRACTOR

OVERVIEW

Extraction machines generally consist of two mechanical parts, a solution pump and fan type vacuum motor(s) - both operated by independent electrical switches located on the main housing.

The pump forces a cleaning solution under pressure from a housing tank to the face fibre of the carpet via a solution feed hose and carpet wand. The carpet wand has a spray jet system that is compatible with the pressure from the pump and delivers just the right amount of solution to the carpet. The solution has a short amount of time to be forced into the fibres and emulsify the soil particles before it is extracted by the powerful suction of the vacuum motor. Because both these functions take place at the carpet wand, it will soon be realised that the speed at which the

operator moves the wand is an important factor.

RECOVERY SYSTEM

The recovery tank has a built-in shut-off system that works on the principle of a rising ball. As the waste water or foam level rises and comes in contact with the ball (which in turn is secured in a filtered container) the ball floats and eventually is sucked into the aperture of the vacuum pipe and seals the air flow.

It is important to understand that shut-off devices where fitted are there to act as a precautionary

measure. Care should be taken to empty the

recovery tank frequently and to use a defoamer if heavy foam build-up occurs due to previous shampoo residue in the carpet. Emptying of the recovery tank is either by way of a positive drain valve or removable bucket. Where fitted, care should be exercised when opening the valve, particularly when the tank is full as the force of dirty water may overshoot the bucket. The drain valve should be cleaned and kept free of soil sediment regularly.

Do not let the recovery tank overfill and cut out

the vacuum motor.

At the same time do not completely empty the recovery tank until the job is finished as this may leave abrasive sediment in the drain valve rubbers.

A suggested method is to drain 10 litres of dirty water regularly and at the same time refill with clean hot solution using a separate bucket. By using this technique, the solution tank is kept topped up and the recovery tank is always below warning level all in one journey.

•

The filter in the recovery tank should be kept clean and this should be carried out at the end of each carpet cleaning session when cleaning out the recovery tank.

When cleaning out the recovery tank, follow

these steps -

Place an empty bucket under drain valve and open drain valve slowly. Empty tank and replace bucket leaving drain valve open. Rinse tank with at least 10 litres of hot water, or Prochem deodorising solution.

If there is unused solution in solution tank, close drain valve, then switch on the vacuum. With the vacuum hose connected to recovery tank, place the open end of vacuum hose in the solution tank and extract all clean solution into recovery tank. Extract small amounts at a time using the hose cuff on the surface of the cleaning solution to avoid foaming and excessive ingestion into the recovery tank. This will clean the inside of vacuum hose as well as finally rinsing out the recovery tank. Remember to leave the vacuum running for a few minutes after you have extracted, as this will help dry out the hose and avoid dripping hoses. Alternatively use an open ended solution hose fitted with a quick connect to empty the solution tank using the pump.

WARNING - Do not use extraction

machines for dry vacuuming

The vacuum motor on your soil extractor is not protected by a dry dust filter. You should only use the vacuum in conjunction with the solution spray.

Any pre-dry vacuuming operation should be carried out using a normal dry vacuum machine.

SOLUTION SYSTEM

The quick connectors on each end of the solution hose are connected to the machine and the carpet wand, completing the solution circuit from the solution tank via the pump to the wand head. The female connectors incorporate a pull-back release ring which houses steel ball bearings. These should be lubricated regularly otherwise connection may become difficult. The carpet wand heads are made from stainless steel. Do not attempt to use the carpet wand on hard floor surfaces or concrete, which may result in damage to the wand head.

•

Always check that the filter in the solution

tank is in good condition. Remember that

• the filter is there to protect the pump from dirt and fibres and it is a lot easier and cheaper to replace the filter than it is the pump!

Always use a clean bucket when you

replenish your solution tank. This help will prevent soil and sediment from entering the cleaning solution tank and pump system!

ACCESSORIES & CHEMICALS

ACCESSORIES

HEATER UNIT

A solution heating unit, with separate isolated power supply, is fitted to the rear of the Endeavor machine and linked into the cleaning solution system.

! CAUTION- WHEN USING THE HEATER UNIT

ALWAYS USE THE HIGH PRESSURE SOLUTION

HOSES SUPPLIED WITH THE MACHINE.

STAINLESS STEEL UPHOLSTERY TOOL

A lightweight stainless steel cleaning tool that, with care, will not give the problems of the softer alloy materials or plastics, the rough edges of which could damage fine fabric. Suitable for use on all wet-cleanable fine fabrics with an ultra-fine spray tip to avoid over-wetting. This tool is essential for upholstery cleaning.

CARPET & STAIR HAND TOOLS

Larger and heavier hand tool designed for extraction cleaning stair carpeting, edges, small rugs and inaccessible areas. Also ideal for rinse extracting stains after treatment with an appropriate

Prochem spotting agent. These tools are NOT

recommended for upholstery cleaning.

VACUUM & SOLUTION HOSES (EXTENSION)

Extension hose assemblies may be used provided they conform to the high pressure solution hose requirements of the heater unit and do not exceed the maximum recommended length for the vacuum configuration. The maximum recommended length of hose for dual 3-stage vacuums is 30m (100ft).

! CAUTION- WHEN USING THE HEATER UNIT

ALWAYS USE THE HIGH PRESSURE SOLUTION

HOSES SUPPLIED FOR THE MACHINE.

CHEMICALS

Prochem specialise in manufacturing chemical products for the soft furnishing cleaning industry, including carpets, floor coverings, upholstery fabrics and curtains. This section refers only to the basic

Prochem chemicals for general on-site carpet cleaning using the hot water extraction method.

S775 EXTRACTION PLUS

A wide use carpet cleaning formula containing a high concentration of non-resoiling detergents, builders and brighteners for effective cleaning of synthetic and natural fibre carpets. S775 has an approximate pH of 8.5 and should be diluted with hot water at the rate of 10 ml. per litre (1 to 100).

S709 MULTI PRO

A concentrated pre-spotter and traffic lane cleaner for treating spots, stains and heavily soiled traffic areas prior to extraction cleaning. Dilute with warm water at 1 - 4 to 1 - 8 and apply by sprayer. For best results, brush into pile using Prochem carpet pile brush before following up with extraction cleaning process. S709 has a diluted pH of 10.5, therefore always pre-test fibres for colour fastness before use.

B109 FIBRE & FABRIC RINSE

A mild acidic concentrate for use as a cleaning/stabilising rinse to restore correct pH to the fibre. B109 will help to stabilise fugitive dyes and reduce the possibility of 'jute browning' caused by over-wetting or the use of alkaline cleaning solutions. B109 can be used in place of S775 in the extraction machine solution tank, or applied by sprayer after cleaning. Dilute 10 ml. per litre of warm water through your machine. B109 is normally only used when a dye test suggests the possibility of dye bleed or on light coloured carpets when JUTE is part of the construction and may cause BROWNING.

S760 LIQUID DEFOAMER

Always use S760 especially when foam problems from soapy residue left from previous shampoo cleaning are encountered. Mix 20 ml. of S760 with

500ml of cold water and add to vacuum hose and recovery tank. As you drain off to empty the recovered soiled solution, you simply add more

S760 as necessary. Remember, it is only necessary to add S760 when extraction cleaning previously shampooed carpets, so always check the recovery tank for foam at the start of each job.

STAIN REMOVERS, SPOTTERS, PROTECTORS

& DEODORISERS

Speciality products such as those listed above are available from the Prochem range. Refer to the chemical section of the Product Catalogue for more details. Individual Product Safety Data Sheets on all products are available direct from Prochem or

CONDENSED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARING THE MACHINE

1. Pour clean solution into front tank.

2. Slide vacuum hose on to the black hose adapter located at the back of machine and the wand.

3. Connect the male end of the solution hose to the wand and the female end to the machine by sliding knurled collar on the female quick disconnect fitting back. Push the male fitting in and release the knurled collar until it snaps back.

4. Make sure the drain valve is closed by pushing the T-handle all the way in.

5. Previously shampooed carpets may have a heavy build-up of old shampoo residue which can cause the vacuum system to ingest foam and result in damage to the vacuum motor.

Remember to add recommended amount of defoamer to the recovery tank every time you

6. fill the solution tank.

Plug the machine into a suitable electrical outlet.

WARNING: DO NOT TURN ON HEATER UNTIL

PUMP IS PRIMED AND WATER IS RUNNING

THROUGH CARPET WAND.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CARPET WAND

Important: Use only Prochem wands and hand tools with the Endeavor. They are designed to deliver and maintain the correct amount of solution and pressure when attached to the

Endeavor pump system. Use of other manufacturers wands may cause over-wetting of carpet, damage to the pump system and lack

of pressure.

1. Turn on the vacuum and solution switches.

Slowly pull the wand head towards you with the solution valve trigger engaged. Then make a pass forward and backward with the vacuum only (no spray) over the cleaned area to remove as much soil and solution as possible.

Do not over-wet carpet! Make overlapping passes to prevent streaking.

2. On heavily soiled carpets, we strongly recommend using a pre-spray solution. If the carpet is heavily soiled, squeeze solution valve lever on the forward pass as well as backwards, allowing cleaning solution a few seconds longer to work prior to vacuuming.

3. When you run out of solution, turn off the pump. Attach the drain elbow on the drain valve. Place a bucket under the drain elbow and pull up the drain valve T-handle. Dirty solution will pour out until the tank is empty.

Close the drain valve. Use a clean bucket when you refill the solution tank.

4. When the job is completed, turn the switches off and disconnect the vacuum and solution hoses from the carpet tool and the machine.

Drain the recovery tank through the drain valve as before.

CAUTION – WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND

ATTENDING AN UPHOLSTERY CLEANING

COURSE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN

FABRIC UPHOLSTERY.

General instructions

Cleaning upholstery with success requires a good knowledge of the type of fabric to be worked on.

Look for the cleaning instruction label sewn on the underside of the furniture for the recommended method of cleaning the fabric. If it calls for dry cleaning, do not attempt to clean with the wet extraction method. Otherwise, damage to the fabric could occur. Extraction works perfectly on most wetcleanable fabrics including synthetic (acrylic)

Before proceeding, test the fabric for colourfastness. Apply a small amount of ready-to-use cleaning solution on the fabric in an inconspicuous area. Wait for 2 to 3 minutes and blot the area with a white terry cloth towel. If no colour comes off onto the towel, the fabric should be safe to clean. If a little colour comes off, there is some risk of colours running when you clean. It may be possible to stabilise colours by cleaning with B109 Fibre &

Fabric Rinse.

1. Prepare the machine in the same manner as for carpet (see preparing the machine) cleaning except attach the upholstery tool to the vacuum hose. Connect the solution hose. Pour warm water into the solution tank. Add recommended amount of cleaning concentrate into the solution tank. Turn on the vacuum and pump switches.

2. Clean with the upholstery tool using as little solution as possible. Make overlapping passes to prevent streaking. Go over the area you just cleaned without depressing the lever (vacuum only) and gauge the amount of moisture extracted for dryness. On heavily soiled areas like arm rests, pre-treat with a recommended pre-spray.

Endeavor Manual 1/6/14 Page 12 of 29

PRACTICAL CARPET CLEANING

At this stage you will have a reasonable knowledge of your cleaning machine and suitable chemicals to achieve the best results. If you have carpet cleaning background knowledge or you have attended a Prochem Training Course, you will also have an understanding of carpet construction, types of fibres and related problems. The following is a summary of the techniques using your

Prochem Soil Extraction Machine.

Using the cleaning wand

The procedure for using the carpet wand will vary slightly from carpet to carpet depending on profile and soil content. The effect of using a lightweight wand as a scrub wand is to introduce a certain amount of mechanical agitation that undoubtedly helps to clean better by agitation of the pile fibres.

On the majority of normal soiled carpets no prespray cleaner will be necessary (except in problem areas) and a normal mix of 10 ml. S775

EXTRACTION PLUS per litre of hot water can be used. Prochem can advise you on the various alternative systems and methods that can be applied for varying soil conditions and carpet types.

These are all referred to in the Prochem Training

Course Manual that is supplied with the course.

PREPARATION & FINISHING PROCEDURE

Clear area of all small items and breakables then -

1. Dry vacuum (dust removal) open areas of carpet - before moving furniture.

2. Move all furniture to areas that you have just vacuumed.

3. Dry vacuum remainder of carpet and edges

(optional depending on condition).

4. Pre-spray heavily soiled areas and treat spots and stains.

5. Clean carpet using cleaning method as described below and subject to dye bleed test being carried out.

6. Reset pile with carpet pile brush.

7. Replace furniture in original position, placing

Prochem waterproof carpet protectors under all legs and feet of furniture.

8. Use Prochem foam blocks under PLINTH furniture to allow airflow.

When using the carpet soil extraction cleaning method, there are certain basic rules of operation to follow in order to achieve the best results and to avoid over-wetting the carpet. The following is an effective wand cleaning technique -

1. Switch on pump and vacuums.

2. Starting at right hand corner, extend wand approximately 18" in front of operator to the base of the skirting board.

3. Operate solution trigger to apply spray cleaning solution whilst simultaneously drawing back the wand toward the operator thus allowing the vacuum nozzle to extract the emulsified soil and excess moisture.

4. The distance on this movement needs to be no more than 18". Release the solution trigger to stop spray.

5. The wand is then pushed back over the same path giving the vacuum a second chance to retrieve more moisture.

6. DO NOT apply more solution during the vacuum only pass.

7. The wand head is now moved far enough to the left so as just to cover the left-hand edge of the first cleaning pass and the procedure is repeated.

8. Spray and vacuum then on return pass, vacuum only.

9. Carry out a total of 4 spray and vacuum passes overlapping each one by approximately 1".

10. At this point the wand head is passed back over the area cleaned, using the vacuum only to recover excess moisture.

11. When sufficient carpet has been cleaned and vacuumed, the PILE can be reset using a

Prochem Pile Brush lightly brushing the pile toward you as you move backwards.

The speed at which the wand head is drawn back on the cleaning stroke is usually governed by the degree of soiling, for example, the slower the cleaning stroke the deeper the penetration of cleaning solution. The same effect, however, can be achieved by several quicker passes and not allowing the cleaning solution to penetrate too far all at once, and at the same time, using the movement of the wand to agitate the cleaning solution which does help to produce a better cleaning result.

The choice of technique is left to you, but it must be pointed out that when using the slow technique, there is a danger of wetting down to the backing of the carpet and thereby risking a shrinkage problem.

Certainly, on all light to moderately soiled areas of carpet, the wand movement should be fairly fast to avoid over-wetting and extended drying out.

Remember that in the early stages of getting used to your extractor, it is far better to re-clean a patchily cleaned carpet than to have a bad

shrinkage problem on your hands. You will be surprised how quickly you will master the cleaning techniques.

If you have under-estimated the degree of soiling in a carpet, you can always revert to one of the heavy soil cleaning operations such as pre-spraying with

S709 MULTI PRO.

NEVER FORGET - a few extra minutes spent on preparation and pre-treatment can save you hours on a return visit.

Endeavor Manual 1/6/14 Page 13 of 29

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

All Prochem machines are engineered and built to require a minimum of maintenance. But like any machine, it does require some care to keep it in optimum working condition. Careful attention to these maintenance instructions will give you maximum operating performance and will increase the life expectancy of the machine.

To ensure a trouble-free machine, we strongly advise the following preventative maintenance.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

The following should be carried out at the end of each carpet cleaning session.

POWER CABLES & PLUGS

Check the condition of the power cables and plugs.

Make sure all wires are correctly located and tightly connected. If damaged, the power cable and plug assembly must be replaced.

DO NOT ATTEMPT REPAIR.

Instruction for replacement of power cable with combined plug (all machines)

!! CAUTION - ONLY QUALIFIED MAINTENANCE

PERSONNEL SHOULD ATTEMPT THE

FOLLOWING REPAIR

Should the power cable require replacement, please follow the instructions below.

1. The replacement cable and plug shall be of the same specification as the original Prochem part number BE4901 (3 core 1.5mm with 13Amp sealed plug unit)

2. Ensure that machine is disconnected from electrical supply and open electrical housing by means of tool required.

3. Disconnect the live (brown), neutral (blue) and earth (green/yellow) wires from the cable terminal block by means of unscrewing the terminal block wire clamp screws.

4. Release the outer cable clamp next to the terminal block by unscrewing the two securing screws, then unscrew the outer cable gland to release the cable which can then be pulled out of the cable gland assembly.

5. Insert the new cable through the gland, then secure and clamp the outer cable by means of tightening the outer cable gland and the two securing screws next to the terminal block.

6. Connect the live (brown), neutral (blue) and earth (green/yellow) wires to the cable entry gland terminal block by means of inserting the wire conductors into the terminal block as follows :-

The conductor of the wire coloured brown shall be connected to the terminal marked (L), the conductor of the wire coloured blue shall be connected to the terminal marked (N) and the conductor of the wire coloured green and yellow shall be connected to the terminal marked with the Earth symbol thus -

7. Ensure that all connections are secure and close machine electrical housing and secure with tool required.

SOLUTION TANK

Flush the solution tank and pump through with 10 litres of hot water. Check the filter and clean if necessary. If damaged or compressed, unscrew the filter and re-shape or replace as necessary.

DO NOT store hand tools, cables or hoses in the solution tank as this may damage the filter.

RECOVERY TANK

Flush through with clean water and thoroughly clean the vacuum filter. Remove soil and lint build-up inside the filter screen in the recovery tank.

Lint should be cleaned off so that airflow is not impeded. Check that the ball float moves freely within the filter housing. If fitted, clean the drain

valve using a small soft brush to clear any debris or sediment from the drain valve seal. Lubricate the drain valve shaft, slide and elbow connection with a suitable oil or maintenance spray. Check the waste tank lid seal and also make sure the inlet elbow inside the waste tank is tight and pointing away from the vacuum shut-off filter.

WAND, HAND TOOLS AND HOSES

Inspect the carpet wand and hand tool for sharp edges or damage (if accidentally dropped).

Check the spray jets for debris, correct alignment and spray pattern. Clean if necessary using only a soft bristle brush - DO NOT use metal or wire.

Rinse the vacuum hose with hot water to prevent soil build-up.

Check all nuts and bolts and tighten if

necessary

Pay particular attention to the handle, base-plate and wheel axle shaft securing bolts.

Always keep the machine clean inside and out.

WARNING! FREEZING

PROTECTION

If your extraction machine is exposed to freezing weather with solution in the components, the solution will FREEZE and in most cases

SERIOUSLY DAMAGE the machine. To avoid damage, consider the following in the winter season. When the machine is not in use, store it in a heated building. This is particularly important in the case of the WAND and HAND TOOL, which are fitted with brass valves. To avoid freezing between jobs, pump out all the cleaning solution from the machine, wand and hand tool and make sure the wand and hand tool are insulated from the vehicle floor (wrap in a blanket or tarpaulin).

Endeavor Manual 1/6/14 Page 14 of 29

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

At least once a week, inspect the internal components, solution fittings and electrical connections. Check for signs of fluid leakage and tighten or replace fittings as necessary. Make sure all electrical connections and cables are in place.

Solution Lines and Fittings

Flush the machine with a solution of 1 part water with 20 parts B109 Fibre & Fabric Rinse in order to neutralise the alkaline residue left by the cleaning solution.

Quick connect coupler

Spray with WD-40 or equivalent lubricant to prevent coupler from sticking.

Drain Valve

Apply light oil on gate seals. If machine has to be stored, leave the gate valve open.

SOLUTION PUMP

!! CAUTION - ONLY QUALIFIED MAINTENANCE

PERSONNEL SHOULD ATTEMPT THE

FOLLOWING REPAIRS

-

A 250 psi vane type pump is fitted to the

Endeavor and requires little maintenance other than occasional inspection of the pump head to check for any fluid leakage.

The 250psi induction pump is not fitted with motor brushes and requires no maintenance. In the event of a reduction in operating pressure, leakage or pump failure, refer to the 'Fault Finding Guide' and contact your Prochem Distributor.

VACUUM MOTOR

!! CAUTION - ONLY QUALIFIED MAINTENANCE

PERSONNEL SHOULD ATTEMPT THE

FOLLOWING REPAIRS

The vacuum motor is lubricated for life - no additional lubrication is required. The only other maintenance that may be required is changing the motor brushes. This should only be carried out by an individual with THOROUGH knowledge of

electric motors.

The brushes should be changed before the brush wears to within 3/8" of the brass holder.

With heavy usage we recommend that the brushes be checked every 3 months. The recommended inspection period for normal usage is at least every 6 months. The estimated brush life is approximately 400 to 450 hours, but inspection and replacement should take place at least every 350 hours to prevent the possibility that brush wear may cause damage to the vacuum motor.

On re-assembly, the lead wires must be kept away from the rotating parts and the motor frame. Always ensure that the green earth wire is re-connected to the vacuum motor body to ensure safe operation.

To achieve maximum life, the brushes should be seated on the commutator before full voltage is applied. Do this by applying 50% of the rated voltage for thirty minutes. In the event of electrical or mechanical failure, refer to the General Fault

Finding Guide page in this manual and contact your

Prochem Distributor. Although some service parts are available, we recommend that defective vacuums be replaced.
