SUCKING UP LARGE SPILLS
If your washing machine floods or the deep freeze has been
defrosted, leaving pools of water about, your VAX can help.
1 Set up for washing, but don’t put water or cleaning
solution in the clean water bucket
If the spill is soapy, VAX Defoamer will be required in the dirty
bucket. VAX Defoamer is available from your VAX Service Agent.
2 Use the extension tubes or connect the
washing tool to the hand grip via the extension
tube adaptor
3 Turn the suction power to maximum and switch on
4 Suck up the spill
The ‘sound’ your VAX makes will change and the
suction will drop when the dirty water bucket is full.
Time to empty it!
UNBLOCKING SINKS
1 Set up for washing, but without water or cleaning
solution (as described above)
2 Use the extension tube adaptor on the hand grip.
Wrap a cloth around the tube to create a seal
around the plug hole
3 Turn the suction power to maximum and switch on
The ‘sound’ your VAX makes will change and the suction will drop
when the dirty water bucket is full.
Time to empty it!
