Pre-treating your carpets with
the pre-treatment wand and
solution
Using the wand and the trigger,
apply pre-treatment solution to
carpets. Turning the spray nozzle
clockwise or anti-clockwise will
alter the spray pattern.
To pre-treat carpets be sure that the
brush switch is OFF and that the
power and soap switches are turned
ON. The pre-treatment solution and
water automatically mix within the
machine.
Releasing the trigger will stop
solution flow. The treated areas
should be left for 10 to 15 minutes.
For heavy stains, mild agitation may
be used.
Note
: Do not over wet carpets.

How to operate your
cleaner - setting up
Remove the clean water tank by
pressing the clean water tank
release and pulling the tank by the
handle. Put to one side to fill later.
While the clean water tank is
removed, loosen the solution tank
by gently pushing out the solution
plug from the plug opening.
Note
: The solution tank can be
filled while it is attached to the
cleaner but you should use care
when refilling.
Remove the solution tank by pulling
up and out.
Note: The float in your Rapide XL is the transparent, pivoting moulded part in the dirty water tank, 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
Carpet Cleaner.
