7.10 DRAINING THE RECOVERY TANK

The dirty water must be drained in accordance with
national regulations.
The user is completely responsible for ensuring
compliance with such rules.
After the detergent solution is finished, always
empty the recovery tank ( Photo O - 3) before fill-
ing it again.
In general, the recovery tank can be emptied
whenever required, and even during intermediate
phases of the work cycle.
The recovery tank and solution tank volume are
the same and to avoid situations of potential dan-
ger for the suction motor it is necessary to
empty the recovery tank ( Photo 1 - B ) before fill-
ing the solution tank ( Photo 1 - D ); in any case,
a safety float ( Photo 3 - B ) will stop the suction if
the dirty liquid level is too high
N

tanks for any reason, immediately turn off the suc-
tion motor and empty the recovery tank.

- Remove the recovery tank; to remove the recov-
ery tank, detatch the suction hose from its siege (
Photo 4 - B ) and lift the tank by pulling it up as
shown in Photo 13.
