Cleaning the shroudOperating your carpet washer

Operating your carpet washer

Your dirty water tank is tted with a oat. When the dirty water tank is full or the oor head is not in contact with the
carpet the oat will shut o the suction at the oor nozzle. You will be able to hear if this has happened as the motor
noise on the unit will increase. Once the oat is activated, empty the dirty water tank if full. If the dirty water tank is not
full then turn o your machine at the power switch and wait for the oat to settle.

When cleaning an entire room,
move furniture out of the area

to be cleaned. If the furniture
is too heavy to move, place
aluminium foil or wax paper
under legs. This will prevent

wood nishes from staining
your carpet. Pin up furniture
skirts and curtains.
