5. Setup

1. Prepare the Clean Water Tank: Remove the clean water tank from the main unit. Fill it with warm water (not exceeding 60°C/140°F) up to the MAX line. Add the recommended amount of cleaning solution according to the solution's instructions. Do not exceed the MAX line to ensure proper suction.
2. Attach the Desired Brush Head: Select either the standard brush head or the T-shaped brush head based on the cleaning area. Securely attach it to the end of the cleaning hose.
3. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

6. Operating Instructions

The NIQULIT C3 operates using a three-step process: spray, brush, and suction.

This graphic details the operational principle of the cleaner, showing how it first sprays cleaning solution, then uses a brush to agitate the stain, and finally suctions away the dirty liquid, demonstrating the integrated cleaning action.

1. Pre-Treat (Optional): For stubborn stains, you may pre-treat the area with a suitable cleaning solution before using the machine.
2. Spray: Hold the cleaning tool over the stained area. Press the trigger on the handle to spray cleaning solution onto the stain. Allow the solution to soak for a few seconds (refer to cleaning solution instructions).
3. Brush/Scrub: Gently scrub the stained area with the brush head to agitate the dirt and loosen the stain.
4. Suction: Release the spray trigger. Tilt the cleaning tool to a 35-45 degree angle and slowly pull it across the wet area, applying downward pressure to suction up the dirty water. Repeat this step until no more dirty water is being extracted and the area appears clean.
5. Rinse (Optional): For best results, you may rinse the area by filling the clean water tank with plain water (no solution) and repeating the spray and suction steps.

This visual guide demonstrates the practical application of the cleaning process. It shows a hand operating the cleaning tool, performing the spray, scrub, and suction actions on a stained surface, and illustrates the optimal 35-45 degree angle for effective suction.
