EMPTYING DIRTY WATER TANK
• You will hear a noticeable change in the pitch of the cleaner. This indicates a need to empty the dirty water tank.
• The float in your Carpet Cleaner is the blue piece in the dirty water tank lid, and will shut off the suction when the
dirty water tank is full.
• For best results, use smooth, steady motion keeping the nozzle flat against the carpeting. Tipping the cleaner and
breaking the seal of the nozzle and carpeting will cause the float to rise and shut off the suction.
• Once the float is activated, empty the dirty water tank.
• If the dirty water tank does not appear full, turn the power switch off and wait for the float to settle and reset.
• If the float repeatedly shuts off the suction, empty the dirty water tank.
• For best results, use only Dirt Devil
excessive foam which will cause the float to rise prematurely and shut off the suction.
• Use five capfuls (4 ounces) of Dirt Devil
tank. A higher concentration of detergent may cause excessive foaming.
PLACING DIRTY WATER TANK IN BASE OF CLEANER
2.15 Lift front base of cleaner off
carpeting with one hand. (Diagram
2.15)
2.16 Grasp handle and hook front of
dirty water tank into base of cleaner,
making sure front of dirty water tank
is resting on the base (Diagram
2.16). The Dirty Water Tank has 3
tabs on the underside which MUST
latch into the underside of the base
of the cleaner. It is very important to
lift the base of the cleaner off of the
carpeting and hook the nozzle to the
base so that the nozzle is flush with
the base of the cleaner (Diagram
2.18). Failure to install the Dirty
Water Tank correctly (Diagram
2.17), will result in poor dirty water
pickup. The Dirty Water Tank will
need to be emptied once or twice per
fill up of the Solution Tank.
2.19 While making sure the front of
the dirty water tank is resting on the
base, place the rear of the tank into
the base of the cleaner. Push handle
down until it latches. (Diagram 2.19)
