How to attach tool
s
Disconnect deep cleaner from electri-
cal outlet.
1. Place handle in upright position and
remove hose from rack.
All tools attach to the hose in the same
manner:
2. Connect tool to hose by sliding it onto
connector until the tab (C) locks it
securely.
Using your thumb, push forward and
up on the latch (D) to remove tool as
shown.
Before using tool
It may be necessary to remove air from
the system (“prime the pump”) so the
clean solution will flow to the tool. Follow
these steps:
1. Attach tool to hose and turn the deep
cleaner ON.
2. Put the tool on a hard surface or
against your hand to block off the suc-
tion.
3. Wait a few seconds (can take up to 15
seconds). Then squeeze the trigger and
begin cleaning.
Follow the instructions on page 13 for
the appropriate cleaning task.
