How to Use the Ryobi Carpet Washer

1.  Prepare the Unit 
    
   • Fill the clean solution tank with water and the recommended cleaning solution. 
   • Ensure the dirty tank is empty and correctly installed. 
   • Insert a charged battery and switch the unit on. 
   • Check that the WASH DRY mode is activated on the status display 
      

2. Push Forward 

   Unlock the handle and lower it into the operating position. 
    

   
    

   • Push the cleaner forward in a straight line. 
   • The unit will automatically: 
     • Dispense cleaning solution 
     • Agitate and wash the carpet fibres 
        
3. Pull Backward 
    
   • Pull the cleaner back over the same path. 
   • The unit will automatically: 
     • Stop dispensing water 
     • Activate suction 
     • Extract dirty water, debris and residue 
        
4. Use Consistent Technique 
    
   • Work in straight, overlapping passes for even cleaning. 
   • Maintain a steady walking pace in both directions. 
   • Avoid rushing; slower passes improve cleaning and extraction. 
     
     
      
5. Repeat Over the Area 
    
   • For heavier soiling, repeat: 
     • Forward pass (wash) 
     • Backward pass (dry) 
   • Do not over-saturate—multiple light passes give better results. 
      
6. Final Dry Pass 
    
   • Once cleaning is complete, perform an extra backward (dry) pass only to remove as much moisture as possible. 
   • This helps reduce drying time. 
      
7. After Use 
    
   • Empty and rinse the dirty tank. 
   • Clean the brush roll if required.
   •  Allow all components to dry before storage. 
      

Key Usage Tips 

• Always pair one forward wash pass with one backward dry pass. 
• Keep movements straight and controlled to avoid random or circular motion. 
• Let suction do the work on the return pass to do not lift the head. 
• If the battery is low, the unit may default to dry-only mode.
