MACHINE PREPARATION
18. FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK
The solution tank can be filled in two different ways:
1. Unscrew the primary filling cap and fill using a hose.
2. Use the secondary filling port that is equipped with a rubber cap to hold the
hose in place during filling. This port is particularly useful when filling with a
Betco FastdDraw
®
chemical dispenser.
Fill with clean water at a temperature not exceeding 120° F. The amount of water
present in the tank can be seen through the visual sight level gauge near the
front left of the seat.
The solution tank has a maximum capacity of 29 gallons. Add Betco liquid
detergent to the tank in the concentration and manner indicated on the label.
The formation of excessive foam will damage the vacuum motor, so use only the
minimum amount of detergent that is necessary.
WARNING: Always use detergents whose manufacturer's label
indicates their suitability for scrubbing machines. Do not use acid
or alkaline products or solvents without this indication.
ATTENTION: Protective gloves should always be worn before han-
dling detergents or acidic or alkaline solutions to avoid serious
injury to hands.
ATTENTION: always use low foam detergent. To avoid the produc-
tion of foam, before starting to clean, put a minimum quantity of
antifoam liquid into the recovery tank. Do not use pure acids.
