Normal- automatically provides the best mix of water and concentrate for most cleaning jobs.

High Traffic- automatically mixes the right amount of water and concentrate to dissolve tough grime and heavy soil.

If foam is overflowing tank, move SmartMix dial to “Water Only” position until the condition stops.

Note: Both the SmartMix Bottle and the clean water tank must have liquid in them

in order for the machine to spray. If one tank is empty, the machine will

temporarily lose its prime and not apply either cleaning solution or water only.
