This is from an Amazon review. I have misplaced my manual and was searching for a pdf file without any luck. I think I have it under control if I only knew where to put my distilled water.Basic operation of the WhiteWing is:

1. Fill the tank with distilled water
2. Attach the hose to the steamer.
3. Attach the extension handles and attachment you want.(Be sure to watch the video and read the instruction booklet. Some of the attachments have specific uses and setup instructions)
4. Lock the finger trigger.
5. Plug it in.
6. Turn it on.
7. Wait 20 min. or until the pressure gauge reads between 3.5-4.5.
8. Get ready to rock - press the steam release button, unlock the finger trigger and start steaming.

For many jobs such as countertops, shower stalls, stovetops, you will need to follow behind the steam, wiping with a cloth to remove the released dirt from the surface. Some jobs may require you to start with a non-toxic cleaner or grease remover such as Orange Clean or Method brand cleaners. Remember, you'll be breathing in vaporized cleaner. So be sure it's something non-toxic and non-irritating. I prefer the Method brand cleaners.

they want you in and out the door as quick as possible and it is easier to clean .

The parts needed for upholstery cleaning should be in the attachment box. First remove the rug nozzle (or hose) , from the motor unit. Next remove the entire bag assembly - grip the lower housing and turn it counterclockwise to remove. The attachment hose can now be placed on the motor outlet. Look for a small arrow on the hose connector and line it up with the small "bump" on the metal fan housing, and turn it clockwise to install. The air intake guard is placed on the front in place of the rug head. Turn the motor on to blow dust out of the hose and fan chamber prior to placing the spray gun on the end of the hose. Be sure to put the small "suds screen" on the nozzle of the spray gun to produce foam. Place the foam onto the area to be cleaned, and massage it into the fabric with a sponge or towel. Allow it to dry thoroughly before vacuuming it out.

Keep your upholstered furniture looking fresh by vacuuming it regularly with the upholstery tool attached to your vacuum's hose. Prevent the fabric from fading (or at least delay this) by keeping your furniture out of direct sunlight -- close blinds, shades or curtains when the sun shines most directly through windows closest to the upholstery. And remove stains by blotting them with a dry cleaning solvent. Before steam cleaning your upholstered furniture, read the piece's cleaning code label to determine whether or not it is safe to do so. Then rent or buy a steam cleaner (also called an extractor) and follow the directions below.

1. Rent a steam cleaner or purchase one; buy steam cleaner solution.
   
2. Step 2 Vacuum the upholstery on the furniture you wish to steam clean; use the upholstery attachment to most effectively **** up loose debris.
   
3. Step 3 Test the steam-cleaner solution on the upholstery in an inconspicuous place to ensure the color won't be steamed out or drastically altered.
   
4. Step 4 Attempt to remove any stains with a stain removal or dry cleaning solution. Follow the directions that come with the product you choose for the best results, and allow the stain remover to dry before you begin steam cleaning.
   
5. Step 5 Remove cushions and, if necessary, arm covers.
   
6. Step 6 Gently apply the steaming water and cleaning solution in straight lines across the upholstery one section at a time.
   
7. Step 7 Use the cleaning extension on the steam cleaner to **** up as much water as possible. The dirt will come out with the water.
   
8. Step 8 Clean one side each cushion (then allow it to dry) before cleaning the other side. If the cushions are permanently attached to the furniture, clean them last.
   
9. Step 9 Allow the furniture to dry completely before repeating the steam-cleaning process or replacing the cushions.
   

I borrowed a bissell 9500. It was filthy with the previous user's debris, including long and short black hairs, black goo from the swamps of hell, cat hair and dirt. I cleaned the whole machine (as mentioned in the online user's manual), pre-spotted my carpets, filled the appropriate fluid containers, and confidently turned power on to the 9500. The BRUSHES DIDN'T WORK ! After checking all belts, and other things mentioned in other solutions here on Fixya, I decided to check the trigger setup on the handle part of the cleaner. I unscrewed all the screws from the top of the handle down to the attachment holder ( there were seven screws). After that, I gently pried open the top portion of the handle in order to see down to the trigger. I gently pulled the trigger and, at the same time, repositioned it and the spring attached to it. Then, I put the screws back in, attached the power cord, turned on the power, released the handle's upright lock. When I did that, the brushes turned like they are supposed to. At that point, I felt like I'd awoken from a nightmare and, at the same time, been blessed by an unseen cosmic power. The rest is history. My carpets and upholstery are now as clean as when they were new. I hope this helps one or more of you out there with the "dead brushes" problem.

If you are talking about a piece in the handle of the hose, you may have to replace the whole hose asm. part number 90001336. A repairshop should be able to see if you can just the piece you need, if it is available by itself.

If one attachment works ok, but another doesn't, then there must be a problem with the attachment and will have to be replaced.
