dry foam shampoo.
1.
Release the clamp on each side of the tank and
head assembly. Lift the head assembly off and set

2.
Empty the collector tank of all dust and debris. If
the debris is wet, empty and dry the inside of the
tank thoroughly.
4.

NOT
VOLATILE OR EXPLOSIVE MA-
TERIALS
.
1.
Release the clamp on each side of the tank and
head assembly. Lift the head assembly off and set
it aside.
2.
Empty the collector tank by either tilting and pour-
ing or using the drain hose by removing the drain
hose (see page 6, item 38) out of the clip located
on the front, right of the tank and pulling out the
stopper on the hose once you have it where you
want to empty the unit. Once all debris is removed,
wipe the inside of the tank to remove clinging de-
bris. Also remove the HEPA filter (see page 6, item
19) by flipping the head assembly over and pulling
up on the filter where it meets the float assembly
hub. Rinse the HEPA filter in a sink to clear it of
any debris.
3.
While HEPA filter is off, check the float shut-off de-
vice on the lower portion of the head assembly. The
float should have free movement. When the recov-
ered liquid soilage reaches the collector tank ca-
pacity, the float will rise to shut off the air flow, stop-
ping the liquid recovery. This prevents damaging
overflow and signals the operator when to empty
the collector tank.
4.
Replace the head assembly and fasten both clamps.
Attach the hose, wand and floor tool of choice.
5.
Plug the power cord into a 115-volt, 60 cycle
grounded outlet.
6.
Turn the machine’s motor on by pressing the rocker
switch which is located on the head assembly.
