the hose intake.

• Remove and clean foam vacuum filter. Remove lint from vacuum motor

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
• It is highly recommended that once a month you flush the ProSpot out
with a 8 to 1 ratio of water to white vinegar or anti-browning solution
through the extractor. This will help to prevent the build up of alkaline
residue.
• If the spray jet becomes clogged, remove and wash it thoroughly and
blow dry. Do not use wire or pins to clean the nozzle as this will cause
the spray pattern to become distorted, thereby giving you a streaking
pattern on the carpeting.
• Once a month, inspect all electrical cables, hoses, filters and
connections in the ProSpot. If you see something that should be
repaired or replaced this should be reported and repaired. Little things
are easy to forget, but as these little things add up you end up with a
cluster of problems that will cost you more in the long run.
• Inspect the vacuum motor carbon brushes after every 700 hours of use
replace, if necessary.
• Be sure to use genuine Tornado parts and that service is provided by an
authorized Tornado Service Center. 1-800-VACUUMS Use of non-OEM
parts will void the warranty.
