TIP: To maximize control and operator comfort, position the handles at hip height. 2. Attach vacuum hose to vacuum outlet. The HOSS 700 is fitted with a 2 inch OD vacuum outlet. 3. Attach your solution hose to the quick-connect fitting.
TIP: Do not tip the unit to the left or right, as this will impair vacuum performance and make the unit difficult to control. ADJUSTING THE SOLUTION FLOW The HOSS 700 is fitted with a .052 inch diameter orifice as part of the in-line filter assembly. This provides adequate solution flow and pressure for most cleaning applications.
CLEANING AND OPERATIONAL TIPS Do not operate the HOSS 700 on dry carpet. Doing this may damage carpet fibers. Do not operate the HOSS 700 on hard surfaces. Doing this may damage the vacuum heads and/or floor surface. For best results, vacuum the carpet thoroughly before using the HOSS 700.
