1When finished cleaning, press the Scrub Off Switch (B), this will automatically raise, retract and stop all the machine systems (brush, vacuum & solution). Then drive the machine to a service area for daily maintenance and review of other needed service up-keep.

2To empty the solution tank, remove the Solution Drain Hose (4) from its storage clamp. Direct the hose to a designated “DISPOSAL SITE” and remove the plug. Rinse the tank with clean water.

3To empty the recovery bladder, pull the Recovery Bladder Drain Hose (21) from its storage area. Direct the hose to a designated “DISPOSAL SITE” and remove the plug (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled flow of waste water). Rinse the Waste water Bladder (19) with clean water.
