how to clean
Continue using dry strokes until little water is visible
passing through the recovery tank lid.
For best results, use straight, parallel strokes. Overlap
strokes by 3cm to help prevent streaking. Keep nozzle flat
on floor for both forward and reverse strokes (Fig. 5/3).
If rinsing the carpet is desired, set Wash/Rinse switch to
RINSE (Fig. 5/4).
Rinsing is not necessary, but will help remove solution
residue and help your carpet look fresher.
For heavily soiled areas, repeat steps 5/2-5/4. Avoid
saturating carpet, as noted below.
NOTE: To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more
than 4 wet strokes over one area. Always end with dry
strokes.
It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as described above .
For best cleaning results and to aid in faster drying of
carpet, end with more dry strokes. (Continue using dry
strokes until little water is visible passing through the

P
icking Up Spills
Your Vax Dual V cleaner may also be used to pick up small
liquid spills on carpet or upholstery.
For best results, pick up spills immediately by placing the
stair/upholstery nozzle just above the spill and suction up
any residue on top of the carpet. If the spill remains, place
either the stair/ upholstery nozzle or floor nozzle with the
brush setting selector to
OFF in front of the spill, pull the
nozzle very slowey over the spill initially with suction only.
Repeat with spray and suction.
If a spot is left, the stair/upholstery nozzle is generally
more effective for removing it. Although no cleaning
solution can completely remove all spots, they can be
treated by following the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the carpet or upholstery surface to be
cleaned.
Do not use the Dual V cleaner to pick up flammable or
combustible liquids or chemicals.
When finished, follow “After cleaning” instructions.
Attach Hose
Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet
. Open hose
connection port (A) (Fig. 5/5).
Insert short hose end, matching tabs on hose with same-
sized slots in port. Push hose into port and lock in place
(Fig. 5/6).
