SOLUTION SYSTEM

1Remove the vacuum motor. See

Vacuum System chapter for instruc-

tions.

2Disconnect the solution valve and

mercury switch wiring connectors.

3See Figure 1. Remove hoses “A” and

“ ”.

4Remove (2) bolts “C” and remove the

solution valve and bracket from the

machine.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

MAINTENANCE

The solution system should be thoroughly flushed once a week. To flush the solution system...

1Empty the solution tank, using the clear plastic drain hose on back of machine. This automatically

flushes loose dirt from solution filter.

2Put clean, warm water into the solution tank and let it drain through the drain hose.

3Put the plug in the drain hose and put about 2 inches of clean water in the solution tank.

4Put the machine controls in the following positions:

• Key Switch - ON

• Solution Switch (on left side of handle) - ON

• rush drive lowered

• Twist Grips - Forward

• Flow control lever (on right side of control handle) UP

• Let all of the clean water flow from the tank. This will flush dirt and soap residue from the electric sole-

noid valve and the flow control valve.
