NOTE: If using bucket to drain machine, do not use
same bucket for filling solution tank.
DRAINING RECOVERY TANK
When finished scrubbing or when refilling solution
tank, recovery tank should be drained and cleaned.
ATTENTION: If recovery tank is not drained before
refilling, foam or water may enter the float shut-off
screen and damage vacuum motor. Foam will not
activate float shut–off screen.

follow the steps below:
1. Pull clear gallon marker hose off hose barb at rear
of machine and drain solution into floor drain or
bucket (Figure 23).
FIG. 23
2. Rinse solution tank with clean water after each
use. This will prevent clogging due to chemical
buildup.
3. Push solution flow lever forward to rinse out
solution flow system.
