Automatic "shut off"
When the recovery tank (lower tank) is full
the automatic shutoff mechanism will shut
off the carpet cleaner suction (suction will
be noticeably reduced).
At that time the red float disk will rise to
the top of the recovery tank lid (E). The
carpet cleaner will no longer pick up
dirty solution and the motor sound will
become noticeably higher Jn pitch.
When this happens turn carpet clean-
er off and empty recovery tank before
continuing use.
Check clean solution tank also; it may
need to be refilled.

TM
carpet cleaner has
three agitator brush settings.
HI = for normal cleaning of carpet and
bare floors
LO = for gentle cleaning of carpets and
bare floors
OFF - for cleaning carpets and bare
floors when brushing is not desired.
(Such as when picking up liquid spills.
See page 10.)
Slide selector button to the desired set-
ting before cleaning.
F
Brush indicator
The brush indicator will spin (F) when
the carpet cleaner is turned ON and the
brushes are rotating.
If the indicator does not spin and the
pattern is visible (G) when the carpet
cleaner is turned ON, the brushes are
not rotating.
There are three reasons why the brushes
may not be rotating:
1. Brush speed selector set on OFF (see
previous section).
2. Handle in upright position (see
"Cleaning mode indicator," Fig. 2-3).
3. Brush indicator screen dirty.
H
To clean screen (H), turn carpet cleaner
off and disconnect from electrical outlet.
Remove clear cover and wipe off screen
with a damp cloth. Snap cover back into
position.
