Operations
Clean-up
1. Remove the tank from the base of the
machine by lifting up on the tank carry handle.
Carry like a bucket to a utility sink or outside
where you will dispose of the dirty water.
2. Unlatch the top of the tank from the
bottom by lifting up on the tank latches on
either side of the tank.
3. Remove the top of the tank by lifting up
on the handle.
4. Empty the Pet Hair Basket by sliding it
toward the front of the tank and lifting up.
Replace the Pet Hair Basket before storing/
continuing to clean.
5. Lift the bottom portion of the tank; pour out
dirty water in the sink through the rectangular
shaped opening in the corner of the tank.
NOTE: You may notice hair & debris deposits
on the carpet or in the tank that were loosened
by the cleaning action. This debris should be
picked up and thrown away. Check the red lint
filter near the duct on the back of the machine
base for debris and remove before continuing.
6. Fill the heavy duty bladder with clean
hot (140°F/60°C MAX) tap water, following
instructions on page 6.
NOTE: Remember to secure the tank latches
and test to make sure it is secure before
picking up the tank.
7. Water rinse (recommended). Rinsing
is an optional step that can be done during the
cleaning process or after the carpeted area has
been completed. Empty the heavy-duty bladder
if necessary, and refill with hot tap water only.
Replace the tank on the machine. Take care to
do a forward (wet) stroke by depressing the
trigger, and a backward (wet) stroke, followed by
a forward and backward (dry) stroke, releasing
the trigger. Continue this until the water you see
coming up the nozzle is clear. (See page 13 for
more machine care tips.)
