Maintenance

Cleaning the suction hose

Cleaning the machine body

•   This will prevent blockages affecting the machines performance and will reduce odour build up.
•   It is recommended that the suction hose is cleaned at regular intervals (weekly) or whenever performance is reduced.
•   Detach the suction hose from the squeegee.
•   Remove the suction hose from the machine via the connection hole in the dirty water tank.
•   Wash the hose and remove any blockages.
•   After cleaning, securely attach the suction hose to the machine and squeegee.

•   Use a sponge or a soft cloth to clean the exterior of the machine and if necessary, a soft brush to remove tough dirt.
•   Steam cleaner can be used but not use a high pressure cleaner to clean the body of the machine.
•   

Important:

 Running water hotter than 50°C, a high-pressure cleaner or powerful spray may damage the tanks                

and the machine.

•   

Warning:

 Never direct cleaning water jets towards the machine electrics.
