Product description
The Ambassador 20 (C8420-115) is Minuteman's large-area self-propelled self-contained carpet extractor: a 20" path, 100 psi pump and huge 25 gal solution / 25 gal recovery tanks turn expansive carpet — hotels, convention space, offices — into a one-person job. A patented pivoting, spring-loaded stainless vac shoe disengages in reverse for a best-in-class 43" turning radius, and the all-electric 75 ft corded design removes batteries entirely. Cold-water (no heater).
- 20" wide cleaning path turns large carpeted areas into a one-person job
- Self-propelled, all-electric design — no batteries, 75 ft cord reach
- Best-in-class 43" turning radius for maneuvering around furniture and columns
- Patented pivoting, spring-loaded 20" stainless vac shoe that disengages in reverse for powerful, low-effort recovery
- Huge 25 gal solution / 25 gal recovery tanks minimize fill/dump trips on big floors
- 100 psi pump with 4 quick-disconnect jets and 2 hp 3-stage vacuum (105" lift)
- Rotational-molded polyethylene tanks — won't dent, corrode or rust
- Optional scrub wand, upholstery tool and 14/25 ft hose extend it to edges, stairs and furniture
Receiving — do not sign clean
- Count the pieces against the bill of lading before the driver leaves. A machine, its batteries and its accessories can ship as separate items.
- Walk the pallet. Check the shrink-wrap, the crate corners and the machine itself — forks go through crates more often than anyone admits.
- Photograph any damage before you sign. Once the driver has your signature the photographs are worth much less.
- Write the damage on the delivery receipt. A clean signature on a damaged pallet is what makes a freight claim hard. Then call 1-888-287-3732 the same day.
