    • Rotate the bottom cover down toward the bottom of the carpet cleaner, then pull it straight back toward the rear of the carpet cleaner to remove it.

    • Don't completely remove the cover yet. There is a ground wire connecting the cover to the carpet cleaner that must be disconnected first.

    • Bend the outer side of the pump compartment away from the pump very slightly.

    • Slide the pump out of the hole in the side of the pump compartment, then continue to slide the pump out of the compartment.

    • Do not completely remove the pump yet, as it is still tethered to the carpet cleaner by three wires.
