Clean the filters
!
Remove the vacuum hose plate and check the stainless
steel filter. Rinse any soils from the filter.
Inside the filter, there is a lightweight float that will seal the
!
vacuum line when the recovery tank is full. Check this float
on a regular basis. Replace when the float is worn or
damaged by the chemicals that it contacts.
Rinse regularly to assure free-movement of the float.
!
Re-install the plate.

its own weight.
Rinse the brushes with fresh water and hang to dry.
!
NEVER store the machine with the brushes soiled, and/or
!
with the brushes sitting on the ground. The bristles will
bend and crimp, and the scrubbing performance will be
dramatically reduced.
