PRIMING THE AQUAMATE
The AquaMate may require priming, which may take approximately 20 seconds. To reduce priming time, several things
can be done:
1. Make sure the water tank is fully seated
2. Turn the valve to the SOAP + WATER position
3. Squeeze and release the handle trigger several times
If the soap reservoir becomes empty while you are operating the AquaMate, and the valve is in the SOAP + WATER
position, no water will be dispensed because air is being sucked through the soap reservoir. When operating the
AquaMate without soap, always fill the soap reservoir with water to prevent loss of prime.
