Abstract:
1. An extractor cleaning machine comprising: a base movable along a surface to be cleaned, the base including a distribution nozzle and a suction nozzle; a suction source supported by the base and in fluid communication with the suction nozzle; a pump in fluid communication with the distribution nozzle, the pump operable to deliver cleaning fluid to the distribution nozzle and having a first operating speed and a second operating speed, both the first and second operating speeds being non-zero operating speeds, and the second operating speed being higher than the first operating speed; a manually operable actuator movable between a first position and a second position; a normally-closed valve between the pump and the distribution nozzle; and an actuating member operably coupling the actuator to the pump and to the valve, wherein movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position moves the actuating member to change the pump from the first operating speed to the second operating speed and to open the valve to allow cleaning fluid to flow from the pump to the distribution nozzle.
