and removing the water filters from
the recovery tank (fig. 22), lift up the
lint filter (fig 23), and rinse off both
the lint and primary filter.
4. Cleaning the air filter. To clean
the air filter use your hands to wipe
off any debris. Once or twice a month
the air filter should be removed and
cleaned (fig. 24). To do this remove
the wing nut, nylon washer and middle
brace. Then clean thoroughly and re-
place. Do not operate this machine
without a clean air filter. To do so will
dramatically reduce the life and per-
formance of the vacuum motor.
5. Clean the float switch. First, un-
screw the brass knurl nut (fig.22) and
lift the float switch up. Then spray
out any debris that has built up inside
the float switch with your Dial-a-Mix
sprayer (fig. 25).
6. If it is needed, remove the drain plug
(fig. 26) from the bottom of the recovery
tank and spray out the bottom of the re-
covery tank with the Dial-a-Mix sprayer.
7. If needed remove and clean the
water channel. To do this remove the
two thumb nuts from the underside of
the machine (fig. 29). Lift out the
water channel (fig. 25) and clean.
8. Clean the vacuum shoe and the side
vacuum slots with the lip hook provided
with each machine (fig. 26 and 27).
9. Replace the air filter, float switch,
drain plug, water channel and water
filter. Make sure the water filter sits
flat on the bottom of the recovery tank
and that its garden hose swivel nut is
tightened securely.
10. Clean the exterior of the machine
with a damp cloth and windex.
11. Unscrew the pressure hose (the
red hose) from the sink fitting. Open
then close the pressure valve to release
the water pressure.
