FILLING THE X17
Remove clear solution cover lid from front of machine, or use the supplied faucet fill hose, by
pulling hose out and holding rubber inlet against faucet. Fill solution tank with desired amount of
warm water and add liquid cleaning chemical, Minuteman Extraction Shampoo order #902163.
(See instructions on container for proper dilutions.) DO NOT USE powdered cleaning chemicals.
Powders are unlikely to dissolve thoroughly, resulting in clogging the inline solution strainer and
other fittings. This can reduce or stop solution flow to the pump and spray jets.
Carpet should be thoroughly vacuumed and obstacles relocated before beginning the cleaning
cycle. Heavy traffic lane areas should be pre-treated or spotted with Minuteman Pre-Treat order
#902183 for best results.
