How do you empty the liquid contents?
CleanFreak.com
Hello,
You can the recovery tank by
1. unplugging machine from power source
2. transport the machine to the nearest floor drain or bucket
3. remove drain hose from rear of machine. Remove ball plug from drain hose and drain the contents of the tank
4. after the contents have drained, remove the vacuum head and rinse recovery tank with clean water
5. replace the ball plug on the drain hose and hand hose back on the rear of the machine
Note: to prevent odors in the recovery tank, remove the vacuum head when the machine is not in operation to allow air to circulate.
Thank you for your inquiry

Tips from our SuperFreak Service Technicians
Tim C says - "You need to use a defoamer whenever you're recovering liquids with this vacuum, especially if you're stripping floors or dealing with any type of slurry solution. Failure to use a defoamer can cause the seal plate on the end of the ball float to become so hot that it starts to melt and weld itself to the bottom of the vac motor assembly. This prevents the seal plate from dropping back down when the recovery tank is emptied, resulting in a blockage and total loss of suction. Replacing the seal plate requires disassembling the entire vacuum, which voids the warranty. So, to reiterate, we always recommend using a defoaming product in any water recovery scenario with this vacuum."
Maintenance Tips
Use defoamer with each use, either by pouring directly into the recovery tank or by sucking a few ounces up through the front mount squeegee or through the handheld tools.
Before & after each use, make sure the ball float is moving freely.
Wipe down the squeegee blades after each use to avoid build-up and remove any chemicals still on the blades. Many chemicals if left on a squeegee can cause warping or deterioration.
Empty out & clean the machine after each use.
