Machine leaves carpets very wet, poor water pickup

Safety first: Unplug the machine before removing the nozzle or tanks.

• Empty and refit dirty tank: Ensure the dirty water tank is empty and correctly seated with the lid properly locked.
• Clean suction nozzle: Remove the front nozzle and wash it under warm water. Clear any lint or hair from the suction slot.
• Inspect nozzle seal: Check the rubber seal between the nozzle and machine body. Replace if torn or deformed.
• Check suction hose and joints: Inspect for cracks or loose joints in the suction hose and internal ducts. Replace damaged parts to restore vacuum.
• Use slower passes: When cleaning, make slow, overlapping dry passes (trigger released) to allow more water to be extracted.
