Operations
To Clean Under Desks Or Dead End
Hallways
By activating the momentary reverse switch, the brush
will spin in the opposite direction. Along with the
reverse switch, the trigger switch around the steering
wheel must also be engaged.
If the deck is pointing forward, jets in front, the machine
will propel backwards when the switch is pushed. This
is useful when cleaning under a desk or in a dead end
hallway where it is hard to turn around. This can be
used to scrub back and forth over a spot on the floor.
If the deck is spun 180 degrees, vacuum shoe in the
front, the machine will propel forward when the switch
is pushed. This is useful to drive the machine under a
desk or in a dead end hallway to be able to get the
vacuum shoe close to the wall.

Emptying Recovery Tank

If solution tank is empty, recovery tank is full or cleaning
is finished for the day, empty the recovery tank.
1. Turn off all controls, and carefully unplug machine.
2. Bring either the whole machine or just the recovery
tank to an approved drain.
3. Remove the recovery lid and rinse off any debris.
4. Empty recovery tank by releasing recovery drain
hose. Use a hose with cold water to clean out the
recovery tank.
5. Remove the recovery drain hose end above water
line and remove the cap. Squeeze the hose
section below the cap and lower the hose towards
the drain. Regulate the flow by the amount you
squeeze the hose.
6. Rotate the tank in a spiral direction to drain all dirty
water from the back left corner. If recovery tank is
still on the machine while draining, make sure the
deck is not on the kickstand to ensure the recovery
tank is emptied completely.
7. Use cold water to rinse all debris from the inside of
tank. Turn tank upside down and run water through
the two molded-in tubes going through the tank.
Turn tank right side up and rinse inside again.
8. Rotate the tank in a spiral motion to ensure all
water is drained from the back left corner.
9. Ensure that the two lip seals are in place on the
base machine to line up with the molded-in tubes in
the recovery tank and clean off any debris.

to allow tank to dry and to decrease odors. Drain
any extra clean solution and prop open the solution
fill lid.
12. Always store the machine with the deck lifted up on
the automatic kickstand.

solution tank. (See Filling Solution Tank section)
