3.Turn brushes ON or OFF as desired.

4.Dry hands and plug cord into a prop- erly grounded outlet.

8.Continue to squeeze trigger and slowly pull deep cleaner back toward you (second wet stroke). Release trigger and slowly push deep cleaner forward over area just sprayed with solution (dry stroke). Then slowly pull deep cleaner back toward you without squeezing trig- ger (dry stroke). Continue using dry strokes until little water is visible passing through the recovery tank lid.

10.If rinsing the carpet is desired, set Wash/Rinse switch to RINSE (Fig. 3-7). Repeat steps 7-9.

Rinsing is not necessary, but will help remove detergent residue and help your carpet look fresher.

11.For heavily soiled areas, repeat steps 6-9. Avoid saturating carpet, as noted below.

Note: To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more than 4 wet strokes over one area. Always end with dry strokes.

It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as described above.

For best cleaning results and to aid in faster drying of carpet, end with more dry strokes. (Continue using dry strokes until little water is visible passing through the recovery tank lid.)

12.Empty recovery tank when the motor sound becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in suction (see “Automatic shut-off”, Fig. 2-6).

When finished cleaning, follow “After cleaning” instructions on pages 9 &10.
