PEDAL
Step on pedal to lower handle to operating position. Handle
does not lock into a single position but "floats" to allow conve-
nient operation.
Automatic "shut-off"
When the recovery tank (lower tank) is full, the automatic "shut-
off"mechanism will shut off the deep cleaner suction.
At that time, the red float disk will rise to the top of the recovery
tank lid (see illustration). The deep cleaner will no longer pick
up dirty solution and the motor sound will become noticeably
higher in pitch.
When this happens, turn deep cleaner off and empty recovery
tank before continuing use.
Check clean solution tank also; it may need to be refilled.
