HOW TO CLEAN HOSE (CONT'D)
3
Ensure both the solution and recovery tanks
are secured on unit. Turn unit on and hold the
trigger for 30 seconds. The clean water will
rush through the hose, effectively cleaning and
removing odor causing bacteria left in the hose.
Repeat as needed. Let unit run for 5-10 seconds
before turning off.
4
Repeat process as needed and turn off the unit
when hose is fully clean. Empty the recovery
tank.
LUBRICATION:
The motor is equipped
with bearings which contain sufficient
lubrication for their lifetime. The addition of
lubricant could cause damage.
Do not add lubricant to motor bearings.
THERMAL PROTECTION
A thermal protector has been designed into
your cleaner to protect it from overheating.
When the thermal protector activates the
cleaner will stop running.
If this happens proceed as follows:
1. Turn cleaner OFF and unplug it from
the electrical outlet.
2. Empty Recovery Tank.
3. Inspect for any obstructions.
Clear obstructions if present.
4. When cleaner is unplugged and motor
cools for 30 minutes, the thermal
protector will deactivate and cleaning
may continue.
If the thermal protector continues to activate
after following the above steps, your cleaner
needs servicing.
