Emptying the dirty water tank
You will hear a distinct change in
the noise coming from your cleaner
when the tank is full and needs
emptying.
Important:
Unplug your cleaner
before emptying the dirty water tank.
Grasp the top of the dirty water
tank handle and press the release
latch.
Grasp the handle and pull up out of
the base, take care to ensure that
no dirty water leaks from the front.
Remove dirty water tank lid.
Note: The float in your Rapide is the blue piece in the dirty water tank lid, it will shut off the suction when the dirty water tank is full. For
best results, use a smooth steady motion, keeping the nozzle flat against the carpet. Tipping the cleaner and breaking the seal of the
nozzle against the carpet will cause the float to rise cutting off suction. Once the float is activated, empty the dirty water tank. If the tank
does not appear full, turn off the power switch and wait for the float to settle. For best results use only Vax AAA cleaning solution.
