STORAGE

Before storing:

carpet cleaner forward and back several times to expel any solution remaining in the carpet
cleaner's system. (Do not use carpet cleaner on wood floors.)
• Empty Dirty Water Tank and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Allow brushes and underside of carpet cleaner to air dry thoroughly before storing carpet cleaner on a
carpeted or wood surface.
Do not store carpet cleaner with a full Clean Water Solution Tank in place.

LUBRICATION

The motor is equipped with bearings that contain sufficient lubrication for the life of the motor. The addition
of lubricant could cause damage. Therefore, do not add lubricant to motor bearings.
If a minor problem occurs, it usually can be solved quite easily when the cause is found by using the
checklist below.
Any other servicing should be done by an authorized service representative.
