Emptying & Cleaning the Dirty Water Tank & Filter
7. Emptying & Cleaning the
Dirty Water Tank & Filter
The carpet washer is equipped with a shut off valve
within the dirty water tank. When the dirty water tank
becomes full, the float will rise, shutting off the air flow
through the nozzle.
NOTE: The float in the carpet washer will shut off the
suction when the dirty water tank is full. For best
results, use smooth, steady motion keeping the nozzle
flat against the carpet. Tipping the carpet washer and
breaking the seal of the nozzle and carpet will cause
the float to rise and shut off the suction. Once the float
is activated, empty the dirty water tank. If the dirty
water tank does not appear full, turn the unit off and
wait for the float to settle. Turn the unit back on and
resume cleaning. If the float repeatedly shuts off the
suction, empty the dirty water tank and rinse away any
foam. For best results, use only Vax AAA Carpet
Cleaner. Other solutions may generate excessive foam
which will cause the float to rise prematurely and shut
off the suction. Use four (4) capfuls of Vax AAA Carpet
Cleaner per fill up of the clean water tank. A higher
concentration of carpet cleaner may cause excessive
foaming.
NOTE: There will be a noticeable change in the pitch
of the cleaner. This indicates a need to empty the dirty
water tank.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from moving
parts - unplug before emptying the dirty water tank.
