Fill the solution tank with clean water at a temperature that does not exceed 50°C (Fig. 7) and add the liquid detergent in
the amounts and using the procedures recommended by the detergent manufacturer. Use only a minimal percentage of
detergent to prevent formation of an excess quantity of foam since too much foam may damage the vacuum motor.
Always use low foam detergent. Introduce a small amount of anti-foam detergent in the recuperation tank
before starting to work to be sure to prevent foam from being generated. Never use pure acids. Put the refill
opening cover back in place after filling the tank.
