located in the recovery tank .
DRAINING THE SOLUTION TANK
Any time scrubbing operation is completed, the
solution tank should be drained and cleaned.
1. Pull the solution tank level hose(see machine
components, item #12) off the hose tting, this
will allow the solution to ow freely into a bucket
or oor drain.
2. Remove the cover of the lter assembly(see
machine components, item #20) to drain the
solution tank, check the lter screen and clean
up it if necessary.
3. Rinse the solution tank with clean water after
every use. This will help prevent chemical
buildup and clogging of the solution lines.
