Operation
Emptying the Recovery (Lower) Tank
To remove tank, press down 
on release button (A) and 
pull tank straight out.
Remove tank lid (A). 
Empty tank.
An automatic suction shut-o is built into the recovery tank to prevent the tank from overowing. When the 
shuto activates, the cleaner will not pick up debris and the sound of the motor will change. The recovery tank 
is full and must be emptied.
Turn cleaner o and disconnect from electrical outlet.
Although not necessary for satisfactory performance, it is recommended that the recovery tank be emptied after 
dry vacuuming and before wet operation. Check the solution tank also. It may need to be relled at this time.
