the unit to move unit from room to

room.

12 3

Emptying the dirty water tank

You will hear a distinct change in

the noise coming from your cleaner

when the tank is full and needs

emptying.

Important: Unplug your cleaner

before emptying the dirty water tank.

Grasp the top of the dirty water

tank handle and press the release

latch.

Grasp the handle and pull up out of

the base, take care to ensure that

no dirty water leaks from the front.

Remove dirty water tank lid.

Note: The float in your Rapide is the blue piece in the dirty water tank lid, 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 cleaning solution.

45 6

Emptying the dirt water tank

To empty the water tank grasp the

handle with one hand and the

nozzle with the other and empty

into the sink.

Rinse the dirty water tank and filter

thoroughly with warm water. You

should allow them to dry fully

before replacing them on your

cleaner to prevent mildew.

Do not use any chemicals in the

cleaning process.

Lift the front of the carpet cleaner

base off the carpet with one hand.

Emptying the dirty water tank

Grasp the handle and hook the front of the dirty water cleaner into the base,

making sure that the front of the dirty water tank is resting on the base.

The dirty water tank has three tabs on the underside which MUST latch on to the

underside of the base of the cleaner. The base must be lifted so that the nozzle is

flush with the base of the cleaner.

Failure to install the dirty water tank correctly will result in poor dirty water pick up.

While making sure the dirty water

tank is resting on the base, place

the rear of the tank into the base of

the cleaner, push down on the

handle until it latches.

Empty and rinse clean the water

tank after use.
