E
Automatic "shut off"
When the recovery tank (lower tank) is
full the automatic shutoff mechanism
will shut off the carpet cleaner suction
(suction will be noticeably reduced).
At that time the yellow float disk will
rise to the top of the recovery tank
lid (E). The carpet cleaner will no
longer pick up dirty solution and the
motor sound will become notice-
ably higher in pitch.
When this happens turn carpet
cleaner off and empty recovery
tank before continuing use.
Check clean solution tank also; it
may need to be refilled.

Brush indicator

The brush indicator will spin (F)
when the carpet cleaner is turned
ON and the brushes are rotating.
If the indicator does not spin and
the pattern is visible (G) when the
carpet cleaner is turned ON, the
brushes are not rotating.
There are three reasons why the
brushes may not be rotating:
1. Brush speed selector set on OFF
(see previous section).
2. Solution tube connected (Fig.
3-10).
3. Brush indicator screen dirty (Fig.
2-8).
