How To Operate the Machine

11.Rinse the tank. Put clean water in the tank through the opening at the top. Be careful not to allow water into the vacuum intake tube (with screen).

12.If the tank or recovery hose has an obstruction, use water pressure to flush them. Put the water hose into the recovery hose (figure 35, A). NOTE: Do not place water hose in vacuum intake tube (see figure 35, B), damage will occur.

The recovery hose (figure 35, A) is located to the right of the vacuum intake tube (see figure 35, B). The recovery hose is flexible, which will allow you to move it toward the opening for easy access to the water hose for flush- ing the line.

13.Leave the tank and drain plug removed to air dry.

14.Check the squeegee blade. Use a cloth to clean the squeegee blade. If the squeegee blade is damaged or worn, turn or replace the blade.

NOTE: To avoid damage to the squeegee, the squee- gee must be lifted when the machine is not in operation.

15.Take off the brushes and clean them with a jet stream of water.

16.Use a clean cloth and wipe the surface of the machine.

17.Check the batteries and add distilled water as needed. The correct level is between ¼” (½ cm) below the bot- tom of the tube in each cell and above the tops of the plates. See the instructions in the section of this book called “Battery Maintenance”.

CAUTION: Tap water may contain contaminants that will damage batteries.Batteries must be refilled with distilled water only.

WARNING: Lead acid batteries generate gases which can cause an explosion. NO SMOKING.Always wear eye protection and protection Clothing when working near batteries.

18.Charge the batteries. See the instructions in the section of this book called “How to Charge the Batteries”.
