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

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.

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

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.
