The tank can be flushed out by running clean warm water into this opening and laying the open drain hose into a bucket or drain. Spray Hose (5): This hose delivers water from the machine to the cleaning tool. NOTE: hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled flow of waste water when you remove the cap, then lower the hose slowly to control the rate of discharge. Castors and Wheels (8): Castors pivot for ease of steering, and large back wheels make it easy to roll the machine from location to location. Chemical Feed Lines (9): These clear tubes connect the cleaning chemical containers to the machine where the chemical can be siphoned into the outlet water from the pump. Metering tips -- used to change the ratio of water to chemical -- are installed here. Switch Plate (10): The machine's on/off switches for the vacuum and for the pump are located here and this is where the valve to change chemical feeds is located. power cord connects to a power cord pigtail on the rear of the machine.
