Congratulations on your purchase of a Whittaker Smart Care® System carpet cleaning machine! We are so glad you have chosen us to help keep your carpets clean and improve their longevity.
Your Whittaker machine will be with you for many years. Proper maintenance and storage, including emptying and cleaning the tank and spray nozzle after use, helps keep the machine in its best working condition. Below, we have outlined our recommendations for storing the Smart Care® TWIN Pro and TWIN Standard. Feel free to read the written instructions or watch them in action in the corresponding training video.
Smart Care® TWIN Pro
Before maintaining the machine, you should unplug the power cord.
- Disconnect the solution tubing and remove the tank from the handle by lifting from one side. Rinse the solution tank thoroughly, then re-install the tank and tubing. *It helps to leave a small amount of clean water in the tank after rinsing. Then connect the power supply and spray clean water through to flush the pump and spray tip.
- Tip the machine onto the foot pedal side. Press the bottom end of brush axle to remove and place brushes in front of machine. Check brush wear by comparing to the brush wear indicator. When the brush’s bristles are the same length as the red bristles, it’s time to replace the brush.
- Wipe the underside of the machine and axles with a clean dry cloth. To prolong brush life, be sure to rotate end to end after each use.
- The axles should never be lubricated. Simply wipe clean before storage to prevent them from sticking in place. Replace axles and snap into place.
