Emptying the dirty water tank
NOTE: The float in your Rapide Classic is the blue part
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 Ultra Solution.
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 (Fig 4/10).
Grasp the handle and pull up out of the base, take care to
ensure that no dirty water leaks from the front (Fig4/11).
Remove dirty water tank lid (Fig 4/12).
To empty the water tank grasp the handle with one hand
and nozzle with the other and empty into the sink
(Fig 4/13).
Cleaning the dirty water tank
Rinse the dirty water tank and filter thoroughly, with
warm water (Fig 4/14).
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.
Replacing the dirty water tank
Lift the front of the carpet cleaner base off the carpet
with one hand (Fig 4/15).
