Using the carpet washer
WARNING: The carpet washer has a constantly rotating brushbar. Never leave the carpet washer in one spot for an
extended period of time as this may damage the oor surface. To prevent any damage being sustained test on an
inconspicuous area of the ooring.
IMPORTANT: Your dirty water tank is tted with a oat. When the dirty water tank is full, or the oorhead is not in contact
with the carpet, the oat will shut o the suction on the carpet washer. You will be able to hear if this has happened as the
motor noise on the machine will increase. Once the oat is activated, empty the dirty water tank if full. If the dirty water tank
is not full then turn o your machine at the power switch and wait for the oat to settle.
NOTE: Carpets should be dry vacuumed thoroughly before washing. For heavily soiled areas, it may be necessary to repeat
the cleaning process. Make criss-crossing strokes across the original pattern and overlap with each pass.
Lift and pull to remove the
clean water tank.
Fill the clean water tank with warm water (max
40°C) to the water ll line. Pour the required amount
of Vax carpet cleaning solution to the solution ll line.
Twist the clean water tank
cap anti-clockwise
to remove.
TIP
For best cleaning results use slow straight
parallel strokes. Intermittent dry forward
strokes will increase water pick up.
Replace the clean water tank cap and twist
clockwise to tighten. Place the tank onto the
machine and push into place.
Plug into the mains, press the On/O pedal to
switch on. Press the recline pedal and pull
the handle backwards.
Squeeze the trigger to
release the solution and
water mix.
For best results apply water/solution on the forward
stroke and release the trigger on the backward stroke
to pick up water/solution. For a dryer nish, follow
with an additional dry stroke with no trigger pressed.
