off the base. Rinse both under water and
replace the front of the tool.

the dirty tank and turn clockwise to lock.
Machine storage
1. Wipe all surfaces with a soft cloth.
2. Wrap power cord around the cord wrap on
the back of the machine.
3. Wrap flex hose around the base of the unit
and secure the spray trigger.
4. Store unit in protected, dry area, at room
temperature (40° to 110°F).
Thermal protector
An internal thermal protector has been designed
into your cleaner to protect it from overheating.
When the thermal protector activates, the suc-
tion motor will stop operating. If this happens,
proceed as follows:
1. Turn the cleaner OFF (O) and unplug from
electrical outlet.
2. Check the end of the hose and tool for
blockages and remove if necessary.
3. Check the float stack for clogs. Refer to
cleaning instructions above.
4. When the motor cools for approximately 30
minutes, the thermal protector automatically
resets and cleaning may continue. If the thermal
protector continues to activate after following the
above steps, your cleaner may need servicing.
