Product description

The Tornado Marathon SE 900 (98170) is a pull-behind self-contained carpet extractor that cleans an 18" path in one pass for offices, hotels, schools and healthcare. A 1300 RPM floating brush head maximizes agitation while a 3-stage vacuum and 18" fixed vac shoe pull water for faster drying. Its slim profile and 12" stair-climbing wheels make it easy to maneuver in aisles and move between floors.

Receiving — do not sign clean

Dimensions (approx.)~38 × 19 × 36 inWeight100 lb

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.

CLEANING PRODUCTS

Janitori cleaning products are made in Canada. Confirm product compatibility with this machine before use.

Low-foam requirement (READ FIRST)A carpet extractor pulls dirty solution back through the vacuum motor — only LOW-FOAM carpet-extraction chemistry may be used. Foam builds in the recovery tank and can be pulled into the vac motor, damaging it and killing water recovery. If any chemistry foams, dose a commercial defoamer concentrate into the recovery tank per its label. Always dilute per label into the 9 gal solution tank.
Low-foam carpet-extraction detergent (primary)Pair a Janitori LOW-FOAM carpet-extraction detergent as the everyday deep-clean chemistry for offices, hotels, schools and healthcare single-pass carpet cleaning. Meter into the 9 gal solution tank at label dilution.
Pre-spray / traffic-lane cleanerPre-spray heavy soil and traffic lanes with a Janitori alkaline traffic-lane pre-spray, dwell, then extract. Speeds soil release and cuts passes.
Defoamer (protects the vac motor — READ FIRST)Keep a Janitori/compatible defoamer on hand; dose the recovery tank if foam appears to protect the wet-pickup vacuum motor.
Carpet protector (finishing pass)Apply a Janitori fluorochemical carpet protector as a separate finishing pass after extraction to extend soil resistance between cleans.
