1. The filter in the solution tank (FIG. 4) should be kept clean. It can be removed if necessary.
A damaged filter should be replaced, otherwise blockages and/or damage to the pump head
and spray jet can occur.
2. Check the spray jet (FIG. 5) for blockage and a uniform spray pattern. Remove jet and blow
through to clean. Do not use a pin or other sharp objects as this may cause damage to the
jet.
3. Check and remove any debris or lint build-up from the vacuum head, brush, and brush
housing.
4. Always wash out the tanks with clean water after use. To do this, pour clean water into the
solution tank and spray through spray tip to clear chemical residue from the pump, lines, and
spray tip. Allow the vacuum to run for a few minutes after use to aid the machine in drying out
and to help prevent bacteria and odors.
5. Wash out mesh filter in RECOVERY TANK of dirt and carpet fibers after dumping waste from
recovery tank. Failure to clean filter may cause damage to vacuum motor.
