How to Fill the Solution Tank

procedure:
1. Turn the key switch to the "OFF" position.
2. Remove lid.
3. Add a cleaning chemical to the solution tank. For the
correct amount of chemical, follow the directions shown
on the container. NOTE: Excess foam in the recovery
tank could damage the vacuum motor, so use only
the minimum amount of detergent necessary.
WARNING: Always use low foam detergent. To
avoid the production of foam, before
starting to clean, put a minimum
quantity of antifoam liquid into the
recovery tank. NEVER USE PURE
ACID.
4. Fill the solution tank with clean water (see figure 29).
5. After filling the solution tank, replace the solution tank
lid.

materials and vapors. Do not use
