Controlling the unit
•To move to the right, LIFT the handle with both
hands slightly.
•To move to the left, LOWER the handle with both
hands slightly.
Tip: Only small adjustments in handle position are
needed to control the unit. If you are unfamiliar with ma-
neuvering this cleaning tool, practice first in an open and
unobstructed area.

Cleaning and Operational Tips
Do not operate the HOSS 700 on dry carpets, as this
may damage carpet fibers.
Do not operate the HOSS 700 on hard surfaces, as
this may damage the vacuum heads and/or floor surfac-
es.
For best results, vacuum the carpet thoroughly before
using the HOSS 700.
Adjust solution flow. The flow of solution can be cus-
tomized to soiling conditions and type of cleaning
equipment used. To provide maximum solution flow, the
HOSS is shipped without a restrictor installed. The Hoss
700 is supplied with .048, .052, and .057 in. flow-
restricting orifices. Customers who wish to restrict flow
may add one of the restrictors provided to the inline filter
assembly (Fig. 1, H). To install a restrictor, disassemble
the in-line filter, place the restrictor in position between
the filter screen and the nut, and reassemble.
For best results, always groom the carpet after clean-
ing.
Always establish adequate drying conditions after
cleaning.
