6 Begin cleaning by driving the machine forward in a straight line at a normal walking speed and overlap each path by 2-3 inches (50-75 mm). Turn the
Solution Switch (R) OFF prior to turns to ensure complete extraction of solution from carpet. Adjust when necessary the machine speed according to
the condition of the carpet.
If there is little or no fl uid entering the recovery bladder, the solution tank may be empty. Refi ll the solution tank with water and the proper ratio of
cleaning chemical.
