Recovery Tank (lower tank)
The recovery tank holds both dry
debris and dirty cleaning solution that
is picked up from the floor surface.
Automatic Shut-Off
When the recovery tank is full, the
automatic shut-off will shut off the
cleaner's suction (suction will be
noticeably reduced).
At that time, the cleaner will no longer
pick up dry debris or dirty solution
and the motor sound will become
noticeably higher in pitch.
When this happens, turn the cleaner
off and empty the recovery tank
before continuing use.
If using cleaner for wet cleaning,
check the solution tank; it may need to
be refilled also.
