The solution tank leaks when I put it on; is the seal worn?

What is this orange thing for? Is it a suds shield or tray of some sort?

Where can I find a manual for a Floor-A-Matic? Hoover don't seem to care about these machines & they give poor service regarding older products.

idk, it came that way when I got it from eBay. Maybe the previous owner didn't take good care of the scrubber or tried to ruin it?

This is a common break point on these models. It's a pressure point from the trigger line that is pulled to release cleaning solution. You can try a fix and any other that comes to mind. But HOOVER to my knowledge always recommended a new tank as the only definitive cure.
