Thanks Shorty & Rod. Based on your comments, it is definitely a lubrication issue. I had been spraying the pads then starting the machine and lowering as you suggest onto pre-sprayed carpet. That still would have some bogging down until the pads got more solution in them. I had a job yesterday and dunked the pads as Shorty suggested. That seemed to work fine.
