Operating Instructions
CONTINUED...
During the cleaning cycle, care should be taken not to allow foam to build up in the recovery tank. If this should happen, the
machine should be turned off. Defoamer order #910543 should be added to the recovery tank only, never into the solution
tank. Foam should not be seen inside the right side of the dome lid.
The recovery water level can be viewed from the operator’s position of the machine through the left side of the visible
recovery dome. The X17 has a float ball shut off located in the recovery tank that cuts off suction to the vacuum hose. When
the recovery tank is full, the vacuum motor will become noticably louder and the machine will not pick up water. Recovery
tank must be emptied. (NOTE : Never tilt machine completely back with recovery tank in place. Always remove tank and set
to the side before tilting complete machine.) To empty the recovery tank use the recovery tank dump hose, page 13, item D.
Unclip the hose from the tank and turn the cap a quarter turn counter-clockwise and dump waste water into a floor drain or
slop sink.
