MACHINE COMPONENTS Vacuum Dome The vacuum dome is located on top of the recovery tank. It is held in place by vacuum suction when in operation. Just underneath the vacuum dome there is a screen to prevent debris from entering the vacuum tube leading to the vacuum motor. Recovery Tank The recovery tank is located on the top of the machine. It is attached to the solution tank (lower) by four latches. It is possible to remove the recovery tank from the solution tank but - you must first disconnect the electrical connector at the rear of the machine. This connector has a swivel lock. To remove this connector you should first disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Then simply rotate the connector ring counterclockwise and gently pull down. Remove the vacuum hose entering the recovery tank from below. The solution tank can now be removed. When using accessory cleaning attachments, the hose leading from the floor vacuum shoe should be removed from the rear of the recovery tank and replaced with the accessory vacuum hose. At the lower left side of the tank is the recovery drain hose. It is held in place with a hose clip. To remove the cap, unscrew in a counterclockwise direction. NOTE: When reconnecting the electrical connector to the recovery tank it is very important to make sure the connection is secure - but do not over-tighten the connector ring. Solution Tank The solution tank is the lower unit. It can be filled with water via the front spout using a clean bucket or with a hose direct from the faucet. The solution tank has water conduit with an inlet filter and weight. The weight must be at the inlet filter end of the hose to keep it submerged. At the rear of the solution tank is a panel that encloses the pump. Exiting from this panel is a quick coupler. For use, the extraction hose solution line should be connected to the quick coupler. NOTE: Never fill the unit using a dirty bucket. This may cause damage to the pump system. 2
