2. Keep an eye on the clear Vacuum cover to make sure
that there is not any foamy buildup in the Recovery
Tank. If excess foam begins to develop, stop and drain
tank and pour a recommended foam control solution
into the Recovery Tank. Foam is usually an indication
of excessive soap.
3. Always operate on fl at, solid surfaces at lower speeds
when scrubbing around walls and objects. You should
reduce the speed to maintain control when turning.
Don’t operate on ramps or incline.
4. If Squeegee starts to streak, raise and wipe the Blades
with a clean cloth. If the problem continues, check the
Squeegee Hose for clogs and the Squeegee Blades
for wear or damage and rotate if needed. You may
need to pre-sweep before scrubbing.

6. Stay clear of objects protruding from the fl oor such as
sockets, grates, etc, for they will damage the Brushes /
Pads and Squeegee Blades.
