Turn cleaner ON. 3.2a Squeeze trigger to apply cleaning solution and slowly push cleaner forward (equals one wet stroke). Continue to squeeze trigger and slowly pull cleaner back toward you (second wet stroke). The cleaner rinses the carpet on the backward pass. IMPORTANT To assure proper rinsing, it is important to keep the cleaner on the same path backward as forward. For heavily soiled areas, repeat cleaning motion. Avoid saturating carpet, as noted. It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as described above. For best cleaning results and to aid in faster drying of carpet, end with more dry strokes. (Continue using dry strokes until little water is visible passing through the Dirty Water Tank lid.) Empty Dirty Water Tank when the motor sound becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in suction (see "Automatic shut-off", Fig. 2.17). When finished cleaning, follow "After Cleaning" instructions on page 13. IMPORTANT To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more than 4 wet strokes over one area. Always end with dry strokes. Release trigger and slowly push cleaner forward over area just sprayed with solution (dry stroke). Then slowly pull cleaner back toward you without squeezing trigger (dry stroke). Continue using dry strokes until little water is visible passing through the Dirty Water Tank lid (Pass over the same area a minimum of 4 times = 2 while squeezing the trigger and 2 without). For best results, use straight, parallel strokes. Overlap strokes by 1 inch to help prevent streaking. 11 Actual model may vary from images shown.
