Frequently Asked Questions - RESTORE SC6075A Sanitaire

How do I replace the vacuum bag?

To replace the bag, unplug the vacuum, open the bag compartment door, remove the full bag by pulling it straight out, and slide a new Sanitaire Style 22 bag onto the holder until it clicks securely. Close the door.

How do I clean or replace the filter?

For the exhaust filter, remove the grill on the back, take out the filter, and tap or vacuum it clean. Replace if worn. For the HEPA option, follow the same steps but handle the filter carefully.

What should I do if the vacuum loses suction?

Check if the bag is full, replace if necessary. Inspect for clogs in the hose or wand. Ensure the filter is clean and the brush roll is free of hair/debris. Also verify the belt is not broken.

How do I replace the brush roll or belt?

It uses Sanitaire Style 22 cloth bags (SC678 equivalent). You can also use synthetic disposable bags designed for this series.

Can I use a HEPA filter with this vacuum?

Yes, an optional HEPA exhaust filter kit is available. It fits in the same housing as the standard exhaust filter.

TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE

When transporting the machine ensure that all components, tanks and removable parts are securely fastened, and that the supply cord and plug are not trailing. Detach hose and wand from machine for ease of carriage.

Do not lift or transport the machine when it contains liquid, as it will add considerable weight.

Take extreme care when moving the machine up and down the stairs.

Caution – Incorrect lifting techniques may result in personal injury. We advice that the manual handling regulations are followed.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

• IMPORTANT – If the supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a special cord available from the manufacturer or an authorized service agent.

Should an extension cord be used, ensure cord rating is adequate for the equipment. Do not use extension cord in coiled condition as this could result in overheating of the cord.

PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE

• Make sure both tanks are clean before use.
- Connect the flexible vacuum hose onto the vacuum hose inlet and the high-pressure spray hose onto the solution outlet. (fig. 1)
- Connect the vacuum hose and the high-pressure spray hose to the carpet cleaning wand or the upholstery tool.
- Fill the clean water tank with detergent and water. Use the correct dilution rate for the detergent. Never over fill.
- Fill the anti-foam tank with an appropriate de-foamer solution.
- Important – Always use low foaming carpet cleaning chemicals. If using foaming carpet cleaning chemical, or if foam develops due to residues in the carpet, ensure that an appropriate de-foamer is used in the anti-foam tank.

Incorrect chemicals could cause damage to the carpets being cleaned or cause the machine to malfunction.

OPERATION

STARTING THE MACHINE

• Connect the cable to main power.
• Ensure the slider on top of the trigger unit is in the closed position
• Switch on the unit spray and/or vacuum.
• Squeeze the trigger to spray solution onto the carpet/upholstery. Maintain a constant pressure of the wand/tool onto the surface to be cleaned. (fig. 2)

Fig 2 Spray

USING THE MACHINE

• To dry the surface being cleaned, complete the cleaning with a second pass with the vacuum (and no spray).
- Never soak the textile being cleaned while spraying.

CLEANING CARPET

Color Fastness – Before using cleaning solution or pre-spotter, test carpet for color fastness on an inconspicuous area. Apply solution to a small piece of clean white material or tissue, and then rub on carpet vigorously. Excessive amounts of dye showing on the material indicate that the color is not fast, and the carpet should not be wet cleaned.

• Move furniture around to give a clear working area. Cover bottoms of furniture legs where necessary (aluminum cooking foil is ideal). Pin up curtains and drapes.
  • Vacuum carpet thoroughly to remove any residual dust or debris.
• Areas of heavy carpet soiling can be removed more easily if first treated with a concentrated cleaning solution or pre-spotting solution.
• Rate of cleaning will depend upon the thickness of the carpet and the degree of dirt in the area being cleaned.
• Do not clean any more than twice. Carpets may shrink if they are over-wet or not properly fixed down.

CLEANING STAIRS

CAUTION – When cleaning on stairs take great care to ensure that machine is stable, otherwise it may cause injury to either the operator or a third party. Use the stair/upholstery tool for cleaning in place of the wand assembly.

CLEANING UPHOLSTERY

This is done in the same way as carpet cleaning except using the upholstery tool in place of the wand assembly. Cleaning is achieved using a gentle dragging motion of the upholstery tool over the material.

• An inconspicuous area of the item to be cleaned should always be tested for color fastness prior to cleaning. Should doubt exist as to the suitability of the fabric for wet cleaning, the chemical manufacturer should be consulted for advice.
• Loose cushions should be removed and cleaned separately.
• Care should be taken to avoid over-wetting the fabric.

WHEN CLEANING IS FINISHED

Draining and Cleaning

• Before removing the spray hose, pressure in the system must be released. With the pump switched off, hold the spray nozzle over the removable recovery tank and squeeze the spray trigger until the remaining solution has been released. The spray hose can now be disconnected.
  • After use, check that both solution tanks are empty.
  • Empty the solution tank and rinse.
  • Empty the recovery tank and rinse clean.
• Rinse both tanks out with clean water before storing the machine.
• Clean nozzles and hoses.

STORAGE

• Always unplug, empty, wipe down and dry the machine after use.
- Wrap supply cord around the handle of the machine ensuring that the plug is not trailing on the floor. Store the machine in a dry indoor area only.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – Before undertaking maintenance operations or adjustments, switch off machine and unplug from the electricity supply.

The machine requires minimum maintenance apart from the following checks by the operator.

- Supply cord – Regularly inspect sheath, plug and cord anchorage for damage or loose connection.

- Solution tank – Check filters are clean and undamaged. A damaged or missing filter must be replaced or damage to pump head and spray jet may occur.
