After using tool
1. Drain suction hose by turning carpet
cleaner ON and holding end of hose up for
several seconds. Do not press trigger.
2. Disconnect carpet cleaner from electrical
outlet.
3. Drain solution tube by placing round end
in sink and raising nozzle above your head.
Press the trigger.
4. Proceed with steps c, d and e located in
"After cleaning" section of manual.
Occasionally, debris may become lodged
inside of the hose at the converter end (L).
To clean out the hose, lift bottom of con-
verter clip (M) with a screwdriver and
remove clip. Remove debris as shown.
Snap clip back into position making sure
solution hose (N) is not pinched and moves
freely.
Replace recovery tank front panel (O).
Rotate panel upward then push down until
it snaps firmly in place. For full suction it is
important that the front panel is properly
secured before cleaning floor.
If the front panel is accidentally removed
from the tank, it can be easily re-attached.
Slide the panel into the channels (P) and
firmly push down until panel snaps into
place.
After cleaning
a. Allow carpet or upholstery to dry. To help prevent matting and
resoiling the carpet, keep children and pets away from surface until it
is completely dry. If it is necessary to walk on damp carpet, place
towels or white cloths on the traffic areas.
If furniture must be replaced before the carpet is dry, use plastic or
aluminum foil pads under legs of furniture so metal slides or wood
finishes will not stain the carpet.
b. If desired, the carpet may be rinsed. Rinsing is not necessary for
cleaning, but it may improve the surface's appearance after it is dry.
c. Empty tanks, rinse with clear water and let air dry. Rinse the solu-
tion tank cap and recovery tank lid and let air dry (Fig. 3.22).
d. Remove debris from recovery tank filter and rinse with clean
water.
Note: If the filter must be removed for cleaning, it is easier to replace
if the filter is wet.
e. Vacuum thoroughly after carpet has completely dried. This will help
reduce any shading left by the carpet cleaner's brushes.
