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

If the tank does not appear full turn off the power
switch and wait for the float to settle. For best results

solution may cause excessive foaming. This may
cause the float to shut off the cleaner prematurely.
Using other cleaning solution will invalidate your
warranty.
Plug the cord into an electrical socket. Step on the handle
release pedal to put the cleaner into a cleaning position
(Fig.4/4).
Turn power switch and brush switch to the ON position
