4. Operation
IMPORTANT:
Turn off when emptying and filling the
clean water tank.
Filling the clean water tank
Remove clean water tank from the carpet washer
(Fig.4/1).
Unscrew the measuring cap from the rear of the clean
water tank. Fill the bottle cap or measuring cap 3 times
with Vax carpet cleaning solution and pour into the tank
(Fig.4/2).
Fill the remainder of the clean water tank with warm
tap water (max 40°C). Replace the cap (Fig.4/3).
NOTE:
Use only Vax carpet cleaning solution, as other
cleaning solutions may cause excessive foaming. This may
cause the float to shut off the cleaner prematurely. Using
other cleaning solutions will invalidate your guarantee.
Place the bottom of the clean water tank into the cleaner
and push into place. There will be an audible click when the
clean water tank is in the correct position.
Operating the carpet washer
IMPORTANT:
Never leave the cleaner unattended
with the power on. Vacuum carpets thoroughly
with dry vacuum cleaner before washing.
Plug the cord into an electrical socket. Turn the power and
brushbar switches on. The switches are located on the
front of the carpet washer, above the clean water tank.
The power switch controls the vacuum motor and pump,
the brush switch only turns the rotating brushbar on and
off when the power switch is on (Fig.4/4).
Press on the handle release pedal and pull the cleaner back
into a reclined position (Fig.4/5).
