Removal and Installation
Vacuum Motor

tank via a flexible hose. The exhaust from the motor passes through a sound attenuator and out of the
machine above the scrub deck.
1. Make sure the solution and recovery tanks
are empty. Excess weight in the tanks can
throw off the balance of the machine when the
weight of the scrub deck is removed from the
machine.
2. Remove the
Scrub Deck
