without putting down more solution. Continue using dry strokes until you
see only a little solution coming up through the nozzle (front of cleaner).
Do not make the carpet too wet! Use no more than two sets of forward and

backward strokes while releasing solution. Always follow with dry strokes -
the more the better.
Listen carefully! When the motor sound changes (rises in pitch), the recovery
11
tank needs to be emptied.
When water has reached the full line in the recovery tank, the cleaner will
NOT pick up any more dirty solution.
Allow carpet to dry. Avoid walking on the carpet until it is dry.

Increased air circulation (open doors, turn on fans, etc.) will help carpet dry
thoroughly.
Vacuum thoroughly after carpet has dried. This will reduce any shading left

by the deep cleaner's brushes.
