1. Ensure your carpet extractor is unplugged and switched off before starting this procedure.

3. If it is still attached, disconnect the black hose from the recovery tank.

4. Unclasp and release the two black latches on either side of the carpet extractor.

5. Remove the recovery tank.

6. Use a Phillips #3 screwdriver to remove the two 1-1/2" screws and washers securing the pump housing.

11. Take care to not snag the sharp edges of the mounting bracket on any wires or hoses as you remove it.

12. Use a flathead screwdriver to loosen the hose clamp on back side of the pump.
13. We strongly suggest you replace this hose clamp during reassembly to prevent leaks during operation.

14. Slide the loosened hose clamp back until it is no longer around the brass fitting.

15. Pull the hose straight off of the brass fitting to remove it from the pump.
16. If this is too difficult to do by hand, use a pair of pliers to carefully work the hose off of the fitting until it is free.

17. Disconnect the two crimp connectors from the pump body.
18. Take note of which wire connects where for reassembly.
19. This may require a significant amount of force; pull and wiggle the connector until it's free.

20. Twist the pump body counterclockwise until it is disconnected from the fitting at the other end of pump.
21. Remove the pump from the extractor.
22. Before installing the new pump during reassembly, replace the teflon tape on the brass fitting to prevent leaks during operation.

23. Use a pair of pliers to unscrew and remove the remaining brass fitting from the pump.
24. Replace the teflon tape on this brass fitting before installing it into the new pump to prevent leaks during operation.

25. Carefully remove the foam pad adhered to the top of the pump body.
26. Keep this foam pad intact so it can be reused on the new pump during reassembly. Apply the pad to the same location on the new pump.

27. Only the pump remains.
