Unpleasant odor from machine exhaust or from carpets after cleaning.

Safety: Wear gloves when cleaning waste components.

• Clean waste tank: Rinse the waste tank thoroughly after each use with hot water and a mild disinfectant. Scrub internal surfaces and lid.
• Flush hoses: Run a solution of clean water and approved deodorizer through the solution and vacuum hoses, then rinse.
• Check motors: If the odor is electrical or burnt, inspect vacuum motors for overheating or discoloration. Replace any motor with burnt smell.
• Use fresh water: Always fill the solution tank with fresh, clean water. Avoid leaving water standing in the tank between jobs.
