Pre-spray the carpeted stair by holding
the tool (A) or (B) about one inch above
the carpet and push it forward while
pressing the trigger (equals one wet
stroke).
Position tool against the riser and slightly
press it into carpet pile. Press the trigger
and pull the tool
slowly
over the carpet
(second wet stroke). Release trigger at end
of stroke.
If additional cleaning is necessary, wait
until the carpet is completely dry before
using the tool again.
Empty recovery tank when the motor
sound becomes higher pitched and
there is a loss in suction (see “Automatic
shut-off”, page 7)

It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes
as described above. End with more dry
strokes to aid in faster drying of carpet.

inch to help pre-
vent streaking.
To avoid saturating carpet, do not use
more than 4 wet strokes over any one
area. Always end with dry strokes.
