RELEASE
PEDAL
Step on pedal to lower handle to operating position. Handle
does not lock into a single position but "floats" to allow conve-
nient operation,
When the recovery tank (lower tank) is full, the automatic "shut-
off"mechanism will shut off the deep cleaner suction.
At that time, the red or yellow float disk will rise to the top of the
recovery tank lid (see illustration). The deep cleaner will "no
longer pick up dirty solution and the motor sound will become
noticeably higher in pitch.
When this happens, turn deep cleaner off and empty recovery
tank before continuing use.
Check clean solution tank also; it may need to be refilled.

To move your deep cleaner from room to room, put handle in
upright and locked position, tilt deep cleaner back on wheels,
and push forward.
The deep cleaner may also be lifted by placing a hand under
the upper clean solution tank handle as shown.
