To pre-treat carpets be sure that the brush switch is OFF and that the power and soap switches are turned ON. The pre-treatment solution and water automatically mix within the machine.

Using the wand and the trigger, apply pre-treatment solution to carpets. Turning the spray nozzle clockwise or anti-clockwise will alter the spray pattern.

Releasing the trigger will stop solution flow. The treated areas should be left for 10 to 15 minutes. For heavy stains, mild agitation may be used.

Note: Do not over wet carpets.

How to operate your cleaner - setting up

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.

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.
