Let go of trigger and push cleaner over same
area to pick up dirty solution without putting down
more solution. Continue using dry strokes until you
see only a little solution coming up through the noz-
zle (front of cleaner).
Do not make the carpet too wet! Use no more
than two sets of forward and backward strokes
while releasing solution. Always follow with dry
strokes - the more the better.
Listen carefull!! When the motor sound changes
(rises in pitch), the recovery tank needs to be emp-
tied. When water has reached its capacity in the
recovery tank, the cleaner will NOT pick up ditty
solution.
Altow carpet to dry. Avoid walking on the carpet
until it is dry. Increased air circulation (open doors,
turn on fans, etc.) will help carpet dry thoroughly to
prevent the growth of mold or mildew.
Vacuum thoroughly after carpet has dried, this
will reduce any shading left by the carpet cleaner's
brushes.
