First job with the Conquerer
Posted by Gary Hunt on December 20, 2004 - 09:35 PM

Did my first job Saturday with the Conquerer and I don't think it turned out all that great. It was commercial glue down low level and I cleaned without a glider. Had to fight the hell out of the machine and although the carpet looked o.k when done it didn't clean to my satisfaction. I must have been doing something wrong. I know there is a learning curve but when I did the berber in my house the other day it seemed like the machine was pulling hard to one side and I was having to fight it then too and was using a glider. Am I doing something wrong or is there some type of adjustment that needs to be made on the machine? I need the help of some seasoned pad cleaning veterans. Thanks in advance

Steamer;

Gary admitted: "I must have been doing something wrong..."  And, not exactly knowing what he was doing, he probably was.

In reality, we all know that the operator has alot to do with the end results: appearance.  Back in the '40's and 50's, my Grandmother used to use a brush and a pail to freshen up her area rugs. They always looked good.

John makes some great OP equipment that I know does a wonderful job when operated properly. Furthermore, he is a very creditable individual who helps everyone who wants his help and assistance. To use a thread comment like Gary's only conveys the wrong impression and is taking advantage of a personal opportunity for revenge, IMHO.

Good Fortune to all;
