Cleaning the shroud
Operating your carpet washer
Your dirty water tank is fitted with a float. When the dirty water tank is full or the floor head is not in contact with the
carpet the float will shut off the suction at the floor nozzle. You will be able to hear if this has happened as the motor
noise on the unit will increase. Once the float is activated, empty the dirty water tank if full. If the dirty water tank is not
full then turn off your machine at the power switch and wait for the float to settle.
Remove clean water tank
Unscrew the clean water
tank cap from the top of
the clean water tank.
Pour required dose of
carpet cleaning solution
(approx.40ml per 1.0L of
water) and pour into tank.
