Safety: Unplug before cleaning filters or tools.

Clean filters and tank:
- Wash the recovery tank filter and ensure the tank is free of sludge.
Inspect floor tool:
- Check the rubber squeegee lips on the extraction tool.
- Replace the floor tool squeegee strip if worn, torn, or hardened.
Check for air leaks:
- Ensure the hose-to-tool and hose-to-machine joints are tight.
Adjust cleaning technique:
- Make one wet pass (spray + vacuum) followed by several dry passes (vacuum only) to remove excess moisture.

Machine leaves carpets very wet, poor water extraction
