G Automatic "shut off" When the recovery tank (lower tank) is full the automatic shutoff mechanism will shut off the carpet cleaner suction (suction will be noticeably reduced). At that time the yellow float disk will rise to the top of the recovery tank lid (E).

When this happens turn carpet cleaner off and empty recovery tank before continuing use. Check clean solution tank also; it may need to be refilled.
