Recovery Tank (lower tank)
The recovery tank holds both dry
debris and dirty cleaning solution that
is picked up from the floor surface.

Automatic Shut-Off

An automatic suction shut-off is built
into the recovery tank to prevent the
tank from overflowing.
When the shut-off activates, the clean-
er will not pick up debris and the
sound of the motor will change.
There are two reasons the shut-off will
activate.
1. Recovery tank is full - Turn the
cleaner off and empty the recovery
tank.
2. The handle was raised to the
upright position while the motor
was running - Turn cleaner off. Wait a
moment for the shut-off to reset. Turn
cleaner on and continue cleaning.
