Instruction manual

1. Set up for washing, but don’t connect the
solution tube or put water in the water
reservoir (Fig/11.1).
If the spill is soapy, VAX Defoamer will be
required in
the recovery
bucket. Refer
to instructions
on Defoamer
bottle.
2. Use the metal extension tube or extendible
wand or connect the washing tool directly
to the hand grip.
3. Turn the suction power
to maximum and
switch on (Fig/11.2).
4. Suck up the spill.
The ‘sound’ your VAX makes will change
and the suction will drop when the recovery
bucket is full. Time to empty it!
3. Dry Vacuuming
1. Fit a dust bag by
pushing it firmly into
the recovery bucket
before connecting
hose (Fig/3.1).
2. Push the connector on the end of the hose.
Turn it clockwise to lock (Fig/3.2).
3. Fit the filter housing and motor to the
recovery bucket.
Ensure the two retaining clips are secured.
You may have to push down hard on the
edges of the motor unit above the clips.
They are a tight fit (Fig/3.3).
4. Fit the extendible
wand to the hose
hand grip.
Adjust wand
length by pressing
button in the
direction of the
arrow (Fig/3.4).
5. Choose suction power by turning the dial
located at the front of the motor.
Vacuum carpets on high power.
Vacuum fabrics and upholstery on low
power.
6. Choose the right tool for the job.
The smaller tools can be fitted to the back
of your VAX when not in use.
7. Switch on and begin vacuuming.
TIP
• As your VAX is very powerful, you may find
that the dust bag fills up quickly the first
time you use it.
• Should a blockage occur in the suction
hose/hand grip it can usually be “unblocked”
by reversing the hose and running the
machine for a few seconds or so. It may be
necessary to bind the hand grip end of the
hose with a cloth to form a temporary seal
between the hand grip and the connector
socket on the recovery bucket.

10. How to Unblock Sinks
1. Set up for washing, but don’t connect the
extendible wand, solution tube or put water
in the water reservoir.
If the water in your sink is soapy, VAX
Defoamer will be required in the recovery
bucket.
2. Wrap a cloth
around the
bent end tube
to create a
seal between
the tube and
the plug hole
(Fig/10.1).
3. Turn the suction power to maximum and
switch on.
The ‘sound’ your VAX makes will change
and the suction will drop when the recovery
bucket is full. Time to empty it!
11. How to Suck Up Large Spills
If your washing machine floods or the deep
freeze has been defrosted, leaving pools of
water about, your VAX can help.

9. What to Do After Washing
AFTER WASHING - ALWAYS…
Keep your VAX assembled. Clean the washing
tool, stainless steel wand and hose, by sucking
up some clean warm water. After sucking up
the water, leave your VAX switched on. Air
flowing through the hose will help dry it out.
AFTER WASHING
Clean out the washing
tools to prevent dirt
and residue from
drying out (Fig/9.1)
