[. . . ] If the appliance is not working as it should be, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, return it to a service center. Do not pull or carry by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow. Keep loose clothing, hair, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts. [. . . ] Then calculate the proper amount of chemical to mix with your machine's solution tank capacity of water; 5 gallons (19 liters). Pour the chemical into the Solution Tank (6) and fill the tank with hot water (maximum temperature 54°C/130°F). The maximum fill point is when the solution level reaches the bottom of the lip on the tank opening. Use a hand-held bottle sprayer or a pressurized "Hudson" type sprayer. Before you begin extracting, look at the area to be cleaned and plan your work. Rotate the Brush Storage Position Lever (9) forward to release the machine from the storage position and lower the brush to the floor. Once the Solution/Brush Motor Switch (1) is released the brush motor will turn off and the solution flow will stop. The vacuum motor will continue to run as long as the power switch is in the ON (I) position. Begin cleaning by pulling the machine along in a straight line and overlap each pass by 2 inches (5 cm). Release the Solution/Brush Motor Switch (1) prior to turns to ensure complete extraction of solution from carpet. If there is a large amount of suds in the recovery tank, add a defoamer chemical to the recovery tank. Empty the recovery tank before the fluid or foam enters the vacuum motor. 8 If there is little or no fluid entering the recovery tank, check the Solution Drain Hose / Level Indicator (A), the solution tank may be empty. Refill the solution tank with water and the proper ratio of cleaning chemical. Empty the recovery tank each time the solution tank needs to be refilled. When the fluid reaches a full level the recovery tank must be emptied. The machine can continue to dispense solution, and will continue to pick up solution even though the recovery tank may be full. If using the extractor to pick up solution already on the floor without dispensing solution be sure to frequently check the level of solution in the recovery tank. open the recovery tank dome lid to check the level of solution in the recovery tank. 9 When the operator wants to stop cleaning or the recovery tank is full, release the Solution/Brush Motor Switch (1). 10 Push the machine to a designated waste water "DISPOSAL SITE" and empty the recovery tank. To empty, swing open the recovery tank lid and remove the recovery tank from machine. [. . . ] When the machine is not in use it should be placed in the storage position (Figure 7). This will prevent the brush from taking a "set", and will increase the brush life and maintain the performance of the brush. Turn the power switch OFF (O) and unplug the machine, before changing the brushes. Lift the recovery tank off the machine, empty it and set the tank off to the side. [. . . ]
