Dirty water or foam leaks from the waste tank area or runs down the sides of the machine.

Safety: Wear gloves when handling waste water. Disconnect power.

• Inspect lid gasket: Remove the waste tank lid and examine the gasket for tears, flattening, or chemical damage. Replace the waste tank lid gasket if it does not provide a uniform seal.
• Check tank for cracks: Rinse and inspect the waste tank body, especially around handles and fittings. Replace the tank if any cracks are found.
• Clear drain: Ensure the waste tank drain hose and valve are not blocked. Open the drain and flush with clean water.
• Verify fittings: Tighten the vacuum intake fitting and any hose connections to the waste tank. Replace any fittings that show signs of leakage.
