Emptying the dirty water tank
NOTE: The float in your Rapide is located forwards of
the back 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 Solution.
You will hear a change in motor pitch 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 top of the
base, take care to ensure that no dirty water leaks from
the front (Fig 4/10).
Remove dirty water tank (Fig 4/11).
To empty the water tank grasp the handle with one hand
and nozzle with the other and empty into the sink
(Fig 4/13).
Cleaning the dirty water tank
Rinse the dirty water tank and top thoroughly, with warm
water (Fig 4/14).
You should allow them to dry fully before replacing them
on your cleaner to prevent mildew.
Do not use any chemicals in the cleaning process.
Replacing the dirty water tank
Lift the front of the carpet cleaner base off the carpet
with one hand.
Grasp the handle and hook the front of the dirty water
tank into the base, making sure that the front of the
dirty water tank is resting on the base.
Failure to install the dirty water tank correctly will result
in poor dirty water pick up (Fig 4/15).
