Test Functionality and Prevent Future Damage

What happens here

Once the cleaner is fully reassembled, plug it in and test its functionality on a dirty rug or carpet. Observe the spray function and check for any leaks around the repaired hose connection points. The video shows the cleaner effectively spraying water and then extracting dirty water into the collection tank, confirming the repair is successful. To prevent future hose damage, consider storing the carpet cleaner in a way that avoids sharp kinks or excessive bending of the hose, as repeated stress can lead to cracking over time.

Goal: Confirm the repair is successful and adopt storage practices to prolong hose life.
