Emptying and cleaning the dirty water tank and filter
The carpet washer is equipped with a shut off valve within
the dirty water tank. When the dirty water tank becomes
full, the float will rise, shutting off the air flow through the
nozzle.
NOTE: The float in the carpet washer will shut
off the suction when the dirty water tank is full.
For best results, use smooth, steady motion keeping
the nozzle flat against the carpet. Tipping the carpet
washer and breaking the seal of the nozzle and carpet
will cause the float to rise and shut off the suction.
Once the float is activated, empty the dirty water
tank. If the dirty water tank does not appear full, press
the Power on/off pedal and wait for the float to settle
and reset. If the float repeatedly shuts off the suction,
empty the dirty water tank. For best results, use only
Vax AAA Carpet Cleaner. Other solutions may generate
excessive foam which will cause the float to rise
prematurely and shut off the suction. Use 4 (four)
capfuls of Vax AAA Carpet Cleaner per fill up of the
clean water tank. A higher concentration of carpet
cleaner may cause excessive foaming.
NOTE: There will be a noticeable change in the
pitch of the cleaner. This indicates a need to
empty the dirty water tank.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from
moving parts - unplug before emptying the dirty
water tank.
Grasp top of dirty water tank handle and push latch to
release (Fig 8/1).
