OVERVIEW  
The Windsor Rombus Carpet Maintainer is designed to maintain your carpet using the Rombus  
quick clean, quick dry carpet care system. The machine has two counter rotating brushes that help  
scrub chemical into the carpet. The chemical, Red Carpet Rombus Carpet Clean Chemical,  
encapsulates the dirt, allowing both to be vacuumed up once the chemical has dried. The brushes  
also help to raise the pile of the carpet, giving it a lush groomed appearance.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL  
USE ONLY.  
ELECTRICAL:  
In the USA this machine operates on a  
standard 15 amp 115V, 60 hz, A.C. power  
circuit . The amp, hertz, and voltage are listed  
on the data label found on each machine.  
Using voltages above or below those  
indicated on the data label will cause serious  
damage to the motors.  
Improper connection of the equipment-  
grounding conductor can result in a risk of  
electric shock. Check with a qualified  
electrician or service person if you are in  
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly  
EXTENSION CORDS:  
If an extension cord is used, the wire size  
must be at least one size larger than the  
power cord on the machine, and must be  
limited to 50 feet (15.5m) in length.  
grounded.  
Do not modify the plug  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:  
provided with the appliance - if it will not fit  
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by  
a qualified electrician.  
This appliance must be grounded. If it should  
malfunction or break down, grounding  
provides a path of least resistance for electric  
current to reduce the risk of electric shock.  
This appliance is equipped with a cord having  
an equipment-grounding conductor and  
grounding plug. The plug must be inserted  
into an appropriate outlet that is properly  
installed and grounded in accordance with all  
local codes and ordinances.  
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-  
volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that  
looks like the plug in “Fig. A”. A temporary  
adaptor that looks like the adaptor in “Fig . C”  
may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole  
receptacle as shown in “Fig. B”, if a properly  
grounded outlet is not available. The  
temporary adaptor should be used only until a  
properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can be  
installed by a qualified electrician. The green  
colored rigid ear, lug, or wire extending from  
the adaptor must be connected to a  
permanent ground such as a properly  
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the  
adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a  
metal screw.

HOW THE MACHINE WORKS  
Congratulations!  
You are now the proud owner of a Windsor  
Rombus Carpet Maintainer.  
The Windsor Rombus Carpet Maintainer is  
designed to maintain your carpet using the  
Rombus Quick Clean, Quick Dry Carpet Care  
System. By using the Rombus Carpet Maintainer  
in conjunction with Windsor Red Carpet Rombus  
Carpet Clean (W145-4) chemical solution, you  
can perform a regular light cleaning and grooming  
of your carpet very quickly, and have the carpet  
dry and ready for traffic within 30 minutes.  
The Rombus machine handle detaches for easy  
stair cleaning, transportation and compact  
storage. The handle has a 180 degree movement  
for maximum flexibility and allows the machine to  
clean under low furniture. There is a foot  
operated on/off switch and handle lock keeping  
the handle in an upright position when placed in  
the tray.  
The tray is for machine storage when not in use.  
This will protect the brush bristles from being  
crushed.  
The brush guard protects the machine brushes by  
preventing loose threads or wires (telephone or  
electrical) getting caught-up in the brushes.  
This appliance conforms with international and  
national safety directives: EN55014-2, EN5504-1,  
EN61000-3-2/3-3, EN60335-1/2-10/2-69/2-67.  
IEC 60335-1/2/10/2-67/2-69. LVD 73/23/EEC.  
The Windsor Rombus Maintainer comes with a  
one year warranty on all parts except for cords,  
switch, gears, capacitors and brushes. See  
Windsor New Machine Warranty Policy, product  
section labeled “Airmover/Dri-matic/Titan”, for  
more detail.

MACHINE OPERATION  
PRE-RUN MACHINE INSPECTION  
Perform a pre-run inspection to find possible  
problems that could cause poor performance or  
lost time from breakdown. Check the rating plate  
to confirm voltage and frequency is the same as  
the power supply. NOTE: A 10% variation in  
voltage is acceptable.  
MACHINE SHUT-DOWN AND  
STORAGE  
1. Depress the foot switch to power off  
machine.  
2. Lock handle in the upright position.  
STARTING MACHINE  
NOTE: Perform pre-run machine check before  
operating machine.  
3. Disconnect the power cord from the power  
supply. Wind the power cord around the  
cable holder on the handle.  
FOR SAFETY: Before starting machine, make  
sure that all covers are in place and secured  
properly.  
4. Remove the brushes for cleaning. See  
Brush Cleaning and Maintenance section.  
1. Connect the machine to a power supply.  
5. Once daily maintenance has been  
performed, place the machine back into the  
tray.  
2. Take the machine out of the tray. Do this by  
leaning the machine back and wheeling  
away from the tray. NOTE: Place the tray  
out of the way when machine in use.  
The machine is now ready for storage until the  
next use. Make sure to store your equipment in  
a dry place to prolong the life of your machine.  
Storage outdoors or unprotected could cause  
damage to your machine or internal parts,  
therefore voiding your warranty.  
3. Release the handle lock.  
4. Depress the foot switch to engage machine.  
After applying a light spray of diluted Red  
Carpet Rombus Carpet Clean onto the carpet  
using a pressurized tank sprayer, commence  
cleaning by pushing and pulling the machine  
slowly over the wetted carpet.  
! CAUTION  
When not in use or during interrupted cleaning,  
the machine must always be placed in the tray  
provided to prevent deformation of the brush  
bristles. Deformation of brush bristles can  
result in unbalanced running and excessive  
vibrating or jumping.  
Best results are obtained by moving the  
machine in multiple directions and overlapping  
strokes.  
! WARNING  
Flammable materials can cause an explosion  
or fire. Do not use flammable materials with  
this machine.

MAINTENANCE  
BRUSH CLEANING AND  
MAINTENANCE  
DAILY MAINTENANCE  
1. Clean and inspect brushes.  
After each session or carpet cleaning, the brushes  
and the brush housing should be cleaned. Before  
cleaning or changing the brushes, always unplug  
the machine from the power supply.  
2. Clean and inspect brush housing and  
machine.  
3. Inspect power cord for wear or damage. This  
cable will lie on wet carpet. To prevent  
Brushes are removed without tools. Tilt and rest  
the machine on the handle. Push the brush axles  
(shafts) out of their bearings by hand. Pull axles  
through the brush and machine housing.  
electrical shock replace cords that are frayed  
or have cracked insulation immediately.  
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE  
The brushes may be soaked in warm or hot water  
using mild detergent, and then rinsed with warm  
water. NOTE: Brushes with crushed bristles can  
often be restored to original condition by soaking in  
hot water.  
1. Check all handles, switches, knobs, electrical  
cables and connections on your machine for  
damage. Repair or replace immediately.  
2. Inspect and/or replace brushes.  
Keep brushes clean and free from debris. Rotate  
brushes regularly as this will increase the life span  
of the brushes and ensure even wear.  
3. Inspect and clean (if necessary) brush guard  
of any outside debris.  
Before reinstalling brushes, clean out machine  
brush housing by wiping with a clean damp cloth.  
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE  
1. Check all bearings for noise and wear.  
2. Check motor for operation.  
MACHINE MAINTENANCE  
3. Check overall machine for operation.  
The Rombus Maintainer requires very little  
maintenance. Wipe down the machine periodically  
with a clean cloth and ensure motor air vents are  
not obstructed. DO NOT spray water directly over  
the top of machine.  
During interruptions of the cleaning process,  
always place the machine into the tray or lay it on  
it’s side (gear housing) to prevent deformation of  
the brush bristles.  
! CAUTION  
Deformation of the brush bristles can result in  
unbalanced running and excessive vibrating or  
jumping.  
The machine is fitted with an overload switch. In  
the unlikely event of overloading, the machine  
overload switch will automatically trip. It can be  
reset after approximately 30 seconds (or when the  
machine cools down) by pushing the set button on  
the gear housing.
