MACHINE PREPARATION 

6) BRUSH INSTALLATION

  

a)  Lift the brush base by pressing on the 

foot pedal. 

b)  Place the brushes under the base.  

Align the brush lugs with the holes in 
the brush plate.  Insert the brushes 
into the plate and turn each brush so 
the lugs are pushed toward their 
retaining springs, until locked.

  

The 

image at the lower right shows the 
direction of rotation for installing the 
right brush. 

 

The left brush is rotated 

in the opposite direction. 

7) SOLUTION WATER

  

Fill the solution tank with clean water at a 
temperature of no more

 

than 50°C 

(120°F).  Add the proper concentration of 
liquid detergent by following the 
manufacture’s instructions.  Excess foam 
in the recovery tank can damage the 
vacuum motor.  Use the minimum 
amount of detergent that is necessary.
