7. Remove the tank from the base of the machine
by lifting up on the tank carry handle. Carry like a
bucket to a utility sink or outside where you will
dispose of the dirty water.
7a. Unlatch the top of the tank from the bottom by lifting up
on the tank latch which is located on the back of the tank.
7b. Remove the top of the tank by lifting up on the handle.
Note how the lip on the top tank separates
from the groove in the bottom tank. This
placement is important when putting the
tank back together.
7c. Lift the bottom portion of the tank and pour out
dirty water toward the sink through the triangular
shaped opening in the corner of the tank.
Note: You may notice hair & debris deposits on
the carpet or in the tank that were loosened
by the cleaning action (especially with newer
carpets that have never been deep cleaned
before). This debris should be picked up and
thrown away.
7d. Fill the heavy duty bladder with clean hand hot tap
water, following instructions 1c through 1e on page 9.
Note: Remember to secure the tank latch in
the back and test to make sure it is secure
before picking up the tank. Always check
the level of cleaning formula in the formula
tank at the same time and refill as needed.
8. Rinse (Optional). Rinsing is an optional step that can
be done during the cleaning process by switching
from one of the clean settings on the Custom Clean
dial to a rinse setting, or it can be done after the
carpeted area has been cleaned. Simply choose the
rinse setting on the Custom Clean dial, and follow
the same path as you did for cleaning, taking care
to do a forward (wet) stroke by depressing the spray
trigger, a backward (wet) stroke, and a forward and
backward (dry) stroke, releasing the spray trigger.
Continue this until the water you see coming up the
nozzle is clear.
Once your cleaning is complete, make sure the
2-in-1 water tank is emptied, rinsed out, and
dried before the next use. The formula tank can
remain filled and ready to go, or it can simply
be emptied back into the formula bottle if that is
more convenient.
Note: Store cleaner in a protected, dry
area. Since this product uses water, it must
not be stored where there is a danger of
freezing. Freezing will damage internal
components and void the warranty.
