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, press the Power on/off
pedal and wait for the float to settle and reset. If the
float repeatedly shuts off the suction, empty the dirty
water tank. 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 4 (four) 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.
Step on power on/off pedal to turn cleaner on. Press
the button at the back of the Power Wash Brush to
start the rotation of the brushes. To release the flow of
water and solution, press the trigger and then move
the tool in slow circular motions over the desired area.
NOTE:
After compressing the trigger there will be a
short time delay before water is dispensed.
NOTE:
Although the tool is continually extracting water
from the carpet while switched on, positioning the front
nozzle directly onto the area will allow better recovery
and aid drying.
IMPORTANT:
For first use, there may be a 10-15
second delay between depressing the trigger/button
and water being released from the attachments. This is
normal and is not a fault.
