How To Operate the Machine
11. Rinse the tank. Put clean water in the tank through the
opening at the top. Be careful not to allow water into the
vacuum intake tube (with screen).
12. If the tank or recovery hose has an obstruction, use water
pressure to fl ush them. Put the water hose into the recov-
ery hose (fi gure 35, A). NOTE: Do not place water hose
in vacuum intake tube (see fi gure 35, B), damage will
occur.
The recovery hose (fi gure 35, A) is located to the right of
the vacuum intake tube (see fi gure 35, B). The recovery
hose is fl exible, which will allow you to move it toward the
opening for easy access to the water hose for fl ushing the
line.
13. Leave the tank and drain plug removed to air dry.
14. Check the squeegee blade. Use a cloth to clean the
squeegee blade. If the squeegee blade is damaged or
worn, turn or replace the blade.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the squeegee, the squeegee
must be lifted when the machine is not in operation.
15. Take off the brushes and clean them with a jet stream of
water.
16. Use a clean cloth and wipe the surface of the machine.
17. Check the batteries and add distilled water as needed.
The correct level is between ¼" (½ cm) below the bottom
of the tube in each cell and above the tops of the plates.
See the instructions in the section of this book called "Bat-
tery Maintenance".
