4. Operation
Your FloorMate cleaner can be used to both vacuum dry
debris and wet clean non-carpeted floor surfaces such as
vinyl, tile and sealed wood. It is not intended for use on
carpet or rugs.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to wood floors,
follow the flooring manufacturer’s cleaning
recommendations.
NOTE: If using cleaner on sealed wood floors, inspect
floor surface for worn finish, bare wood or separated
joints. Do not use the cleaner to wet clean sealed
wood floors if any of these conditions exist.
Mode Selector Dial
The Mode selector dial (A) turns the brushes on and off
(Fig.4/1).
For dry debris pickup, turn the dial to the DRY VAC position.
In this position, the brushes will not rotate and are raised
off the floor surface.
To wet clean with brushes turned ON, turn the dial to the
WASH position. For wet pickup, turn the dial to the WET
PICKUP position (Fig.4/2).
Refer to “How to clean” section for complete cleaning
instructions.
Filling the Solution (Upper) Tank
The solution tank holds solution and water that is to be
dispersed onto the surface being cleaned.
NOTE: Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet.
Place cleaner handle in upright, locked position.
To remove tank, squeeze release button and pull tank
straight out (Fig.4/3).
Carry tank to a sink. Rotate tank cap counter-clockwise
and lift up to remove cap (A) (Fig.4/4).
Turn cap (A) upside down to serve as a measuring cup.
For hard surface floors such as vinyl, linoleum, marble,
laminate wood, polyurethane sealed wood or other wood
floors that can normally be cleaned using water, use one
cup of Vax Floor to Floor solution (Fig.4/5).
