11.Lift tool, and position it against riser. Pull tool slowly over carpet without pressing trigger (dry stroke).

12.Overlap strokes by 1/2 inch to help prevent streaking.

It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as described above. End with more dry strokes to aid in faster drying of carpet.

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

If additional cleaning is necessary, wait until the carpet is completely dry before using the tool again.

13.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 and “After using tool” instructions on page 13.
