Automatic “shut off”
When the re c o v e ry tank (lower tank) is
full the automatic shutoff mechanism
will shut off the deep cleaner suction ( s u c-
tion will be noticeably reduced).
At that time the red float disk will rise to
the top of the recovery tank lid (E). The
deep cleaner will no longer pick up dirty
solution and the motor sound will
become noticeably higher in pitch.
When this happens turn deep cleaner
off and empty recovery tank before
continuing use.
Check clean solution tank also; it may
need to be refilled.
