Proceed as follows to empty the recovery tank:
1. Release the recovery tank drainage tube (12) (at the back of the machine) from the retainers (
Fig.12
).
2. Bend the end of the drainage tube, so as to create a choke and prevent the contents from coming out, put the tube on the discharge
surface, unscrew the cap and gradually release the tube.
N.B.:
The place given over to this operation must comply with current environmental protection regulations.
3. Repeat the operations in reverse order to reassemble all the parts.
