11. Rinse the tank. Put clean water in the tank through
the opening at the top. Be careful not to allow
water into the vacuum intake tube (with screen).
12. If the tank or recovery hose has an obstruction, use
water pressure to flush them. Put the water hose
into the recovery hose (figure 35, A). NOTE: Do
not place water hose in vacuum intake tube
(see figure 35, B), damage will occur.
The recovery hose (figure 35, A) is located to the
right of the vacuum intake tube (see figure 35, B).
The recovery hose is flexible, which will allow you
to move it toward the opening for easy access to
the water hose for flushing the line.
13. Leave the tank and drain plug removed to air dry.
14. Check the squeegee blade. Use a cloth to clean
the squeegee blade. If the squeegee blade is
damaged or worn, turn or replace the blade.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the squeegee, the
squeegee must be lifted when the machine is not in
operation.
15. Take off the brushes and clean them with a jet
