without putting down more solution. Continue using dry strokes until you

see only a little solution coming up through the nozzle (front of extractor) or

recovery tank lid.

Do not make the carpet too wet! Use no more than two sets of forward and

backward strokes while releasing solution. Always follow with dry strokes -

the more the better.

Listen carefully! When the motor sound changes (rises in pitch), the recovery

tank needs to be emptied. When water has reached the maximum capacity

in the recovery tank, the float will rise to the top of the tank and the extrac-

tor will NOT pick up dirty solution.
