The solution system should be flushed every day to prevent a build-up of soap residue in the solution valve.
To flush the solution system . . .

Park the machine near a floor drain and open the solution valve.
2
When the tank is empty, close the solution valve and put about 2 inches (5 cm) of clean, warm water in
the solution tank.
3
Move the solution lever to the full-on position, and allow all of the water to drain through the solution
valve.
4
Close the solution valve before refilling the solution tank.
5
Check to make sure that the solution tank screen is not plugged (32, 38, 320, 380).
6
The solution filter is flushed when ever the solution tank is drained through the drain hose (260).
