Emptying and cleaning the dirty water tank and filter

The carpet washer is equipped with a shut off valve

within the dirty water tank. When the dirty water tank

becomes full, the float will rise, shutting off the air flow

through the nozzle.

NOTE: The float in the carpet washer will shut off the

suction when the dirty water tank is full. For best

results, use smooth, steady motion keeping the nozzle

flat against the carpet. Tipping the carpet washer and

breaking the seal of the nozzle and carpet will cause

the float to rise and shut off the suction. Once the

float is activated, empty the dirty water tank. If the

dirty water tank does not appear full, press the Power

on/off pedal and wait for the float to settle and reset.

If the float repeatedly shuts off the suction, empty the

dirty water tank. For best results, use only Vax Ultra

solution. Other solutions may generate excessive

foam which will cause the float to rise prematurely

and shut off the suction. Use 5 (five) capfuls of Vax

ultra per fill up of the clean water tank. A higher

concentration of carpet cleaner may cause excessive

foaming.

NOTE: There will be a noticeable change in the pitch of

the cleaner. This indicates a need to empty the dirty

water tank.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from

moving parts - unplug before emptying the dirty

water tank.
