TANK DRAINING  
1. Turn the power off on the machine.  
2. With the squeegee and brush head in their “up” position, transport machine to approved area for draining tank(s).  
DRAINING THE RECOVERY (DIRTY) TANK  
NOTE  
Any time scrubbing is completed, or when refilling solution tank, the recovery tank should be drained and cleaned.  
WARNING!  
If the recovery tank is not drained when the solution tank has been refilled, foam or water may enter the float  
shut-off mechanism and cause damage to the vacuum motor.  
1. Remove the drain hose from the holder, and place the drain hose over the floor drain. Twist off the drain hose plug to begin the  
draining process. In order to completely empty the recovery tank, hinge opens the recovery tank and let it rest on the support s-  
tand.  
2. Clean the recovery tank after every use. Use a fresh water hose to rinse out the recovery tank. Be careful not to spray water in-  
to the float shut-off mechanism.  
NOTE  
If you are storing the machine for any period of time, always leave the clear recovery tank lid off the tank so the tank  
can dry completely and smell fresh.  
3. Replace the drain hose plug tightly as soon as you are done draining the tank.  
DRAINING THE SOLUTION (CLEAN) TANK  
NOTE  
Any time scrubbing operation is completed, the solution tank should be drained and cleaned.  
1. Pull down on the clear tube (back left of the machine) to remove it from the hose barb. This will allow the solution to flow freely  
into a bucket or floor drain.  
2. Rinse the solution tank with clean water after every use. This will help prevent chemical buildup and clogging of the solution li-  
nes.  
3. With clean water in solution tank, turn machine power on, solution switch “on” and pull the operating triggers. This will allow the  
clean water to flush through and clean the solution plumbing.  
4. Once tank is rinsed, flushed and drained, reconnect the clear tube to the hose barb. Be sure the tube is pushed all the way up  
on the hose barb.
