(Fig.4/13).
NOTE: Do not oversaturate the upholstery.
IMPORTANT: For best cleaning results use
steady, moderate, forward and backward
motion. Make sure upholstery is dry before use.
NOTE: If the dirty water tank door is not replaced,
there will be no suction through the nozzle and the
unit will not operate properly.
Emptying and cleaning the dirty water tank and 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, 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 Ultra
solution. Other solutions may generate excessive
foam which will cause the float to rise prematurely
and shut off the suction. Use 5 (five) capfuls of Vax
Ultra 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.
Grasp top of dirty water tank handle and push latch to
release (Fig.4/14).
