Press brush assembly firmly to snap into
place.
Overlap strokes by one inch to help pre-
vent streaking.
Keep nozzle flat on floor for both for-
ward and reverse strokes.
For heavily soiled areas, repeat. To
avoid saturating carpet, do not use
more than 4 wet strokes over one
area. Always end with dry strokes.
It is best to alternate wet and dry
strokes as described above.
For best cleaning results and to aid in
faster drying of carpet, end with more
dry strokes. (Continue using dry strokes
until little water is visible passing
through the recovery tank lid.)
Empty recovery tank when the motor
sound becomes higher pitched and
there is a loss in suction (see Fig. 2-4).
When finished cleaning, follow "After
cleaning" instructions.
