How to operate your cleaner

- setting up

Remove the clean water tank by

pressing the clean water tank

release and pulling the tank by the

handle. Put to one side to fill later.

While the clean water tank is

removed, loosen the solution tank

by gently pushing out the solution

plug from the plug opening.

Note:The solution tank can be

filled while it is attached to the

cleaner but you should use care

when refilling.

Remove the solution tank by pulling

up and out.

Note: The float in your Rapide XL is the transparent, pivoting moulded part in the dirty water tank, 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 AAA Carpet Cleaner.
