Leaking Clean Water Tank

I have a brand new, first use hoover max extract 77 carpet washer. Upon the second filling of the clean water tank it leaked like i was dumped the water onto the floor, creating puddles of water onto the wood floors. Is this already broken? So I tried a 3rd tank and got the same dumping the water on the floor. What can I do?
