Operating Instructions

The 3-in-1 tool is designed for cleaning stairs and upholstery. Its rotating head allows you to select the optimal cleaning edge for the task.

Selecting the Cleaning Edge

The tool head can be twisted to expose one of three cleaning edges:

• Flat Edge: Ideal for flat surfaces like upholstery cushions or stair treads.
• Pointed Edge: Suitable for corners, crevices, and tight areas.
• Rounded Edge: Best for curved surfaces or the rounded edges of stairs.

To change the cleaning edge, simply twist the head of the tool until the desired edge is facing downwards and locked into position. Ensure the chosen edge is securely in place before cleaning.

Cleaning Stairs and Upholstery

1. Prepare your carpet cleaner according to its instruction manual (fill tanks, plug in, turn on).
2. Select the appropriate cleaning edge on the 3-in-1 tool for the surface you are cleaning.
3. Hold the tool firmly against the surface. Press the spray trigger on your carpet cleaner's hose to apply cleaning solution.
4. Slowly move the tool over the soiled area, pulling it towards you while simultaneously releasing the spray and engaging the suction. Overlap passes slightly to ensure thorough cleaning.
5. Release the spray trigger and make additional passes over the area to suction up any remaining solution and dirt.
6. For heavily soiled areas, repeat the process.

Storage

Store the 3-in-1 tool in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures. Ensure it is fully dry before storage to prevent mildew or odor.

Troubleshooting

• Poor Suction: Ensure the tool is securely attached to the hose. Check for any blockages in the tool's nozzle or the hose itself. Verify that the clear cover is properly reattached after cleaning.
• No Spray: Confirm that your carpet cleaner's solution tank is filled and properly seated. Check the spray trigger on your main unit's hose for proper function.
• Tool Not Rotating: Ensure no debris is obstructing the rotation mechanism. Clean the tool thoroughly as per the maintenance section.
