Using Your Machine - Vax RAPID POWER Series Manual

Using your machine

CAUTION: Always unplug the carpet washer before performing any maintenance/troubleshooting checks.
IMPORTANT: Your dirty water tank is fitted with a float. When the dirty water tank is full, or the floorhead is not in contact
with the carpet, the float will shut off the suction on the carpet washer. You will be able to hear if this has happened as the
motor noise on the machine will increase. Once the float is activated, empty the dirty water tank if full. If the dirty water tank
is not full then turn off your machine at the power switch and wait for the float to settle.
Using the carpet washer and cleaning modes
NOTE: Carpets should be dry vacuumed thoroughly before washing. For best overall results use in deep clean mode.
For heavily soiled areas it may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process. Make crisscrossing strokes to the original
pattern and overlap each pass.
Quick Clean Mode: Best for a quick, surface clean because carpets dry in as little as 1 hour.
Deep Clean Mode: Best overall results for a thorough, deep clean.
Press the clean water/
solution tank release
button, pull and lift to

Fill the clean water tank
with warm water (max
40°C). Replace the cap
before refitting the tank.
Always empty and rinse out the clean and

replacing. Do not leave solution stored in
the tanks between uses.
