4. Operation

Before You Begin Cleaning
Vacuum thoroughly - For carpet, use a Vax vacuum
cleaner with an brushbar for best results. Vacuum
upholstery with a vacuum cleaner with cleaning tool
attachments. Use a crevice tool to reach into tufts and
folds. Do not use the Dual V cleaner as a dry vacuum
cleaner. For upholstery, always check the manufacturers
guidelines before washing.
Test for colorfastness - Wet a white absorbent cloth with
the solution. In a small, hidden area, gently rub the surface
with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for
colour removal or bleed with white paper towel or cloth. If
surface has more than one colour, check all colours.
When cleaning entire floor, move furniture out of area
to be cleaned (may not be necessary if only high traffic
areas are to be cleaned). For furniture too heavy to move,
place aluminum foil or wax paper under legs. This will
prevent wood finishes from staining carpet. Pin up
furniture skirts and curtains.

To turn cleaner ON, push switch down. To turn cleaner OFF,
push switch up (Fig.4/1).

Automatic Shut Off
When the recovery tank (lower tank) is full the automatic
shutoff mechanism will shut off the cleaner suction

At that time, the yellow float disk will rise to the top of the
recovery tank lid (A) (Fig.4/5).
