Janilink 500 psi smells like melting or burning?

[julian0414]

I just bought the Janilink 500 psi adjustable. So far it’s a great machine I have about 45 minutes on it. I don’t know because it’s brand new does anyone know why I might be smelling melting rubber or burning smell? Is it because it’s brand new? And it needs to run through its cycle? Any help would be amazing! I’m a low moisture guy however I finally come to a time where I needed to get a good portable. Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you get foam inside the vacuum motors?

Try again with a real carpet cleaning chemical. If you want to use degreasers and chemicals not made for carpet, you should use defoamer.
