AFTER USING THE MACHINE
1 To empty the solution tank, open Solution Tank Fill Opening (2) and vacuum out all unused solution into the recovery tank using the vacuum
hose. Rinse the tank with clean water.
2 Turn all the Power Switches (A, B, C & E) to OFF (O). Unplug the Power Cords (20). Coil the cords and secure them to the rear of the machine
using the four Cord Retainer Straps (17).
3 To empty the recovery tank, loosen the Velcro strap retaining the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (4) into its side storage location. Direct the hose to
a designated waste water “DISPOSAL SITE” and remove the plug (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden,
uncontrolled fl ow of waste water). Rinse the tank with clean water. Inspect the drain hose; replace if kinked or damaged.
4 Disconnect the solution and vacuum hoses from the machine, at the Solution Hose Quick Disconnect (1) and Vacuum Hose Barb (3) respec-
tively. Flush the vacuum hose with warm water to wash any debris out of the vacuum hose and cleaning tool. Inspect them for damage. Fold
down the Hose Hangers (21) and the hoses can be wrapped around the machine for storage. Set the wand on the Wand Retainer Bracket (19)
and secure to the back of the machine at the Wand Storage Clip (13).
5 Wipe the machine with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive chemicals or solvents.
6 Perform any required maintenance before storage.
