Do not make the upholstery too wet! Use no more than two strokes while
releasing sohltion. Always follow with dry strokes - the more the better.
Listen carefully! When the motor sound changes (rises in pitch), the recovery
tank need to be emptied.
When water has reached the full line in the recovery tank, the cleaner will
NOT pick up dirty solution.

Increased air circulation (open doors, turn on fans, etc.) will help upholstery
dry thoroughly to prevent the growth of mold or mildew.
