Assembly
THIS MACHINE IS ONLY TO BE USED WITH VAX ONEPWR BATTERIES AND CHARGER.
PLEASE READ THE SAFETY GUIDE BEFORE USE.
IMPORTANT: Test the machine over a small hidden area of your flooring before use. If no damage
occurs, continue cleaning. Not suitable for water sensitive flooring.
When using the machine, basic safety precautions should always be observed. Take care not to
oversaturate flooring. Always finish on a dry stroke (no trigger pressed). For heavily soiled areas, it
may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process.
Only use VAX hard floor solutions. Using other solutions may cause excess foaming and will
invalidate your guarantee.
The water/solution tank should only be filled with warm water (max 40⁰C). Filling the water/
solution tank with hot/boiling water will damage your washer and invalidate the guarantee.
Empty and rinse out the dirty water tank and leave to air dry before storage. Do not leave water/
solution in the tanks for a prolonged period. A small amount of water/solution can be left in the tank
for short periods of time in between cleans if the machine is used regularly.
For prolonged storage the brushrolls and filters should be removed, cleaned, dried and stored in the
rinse/storage tray. Stand the machine in the storage tray when not in use.

• Check for blockages and clear. See Checking for blockages and advanced cleaning page 15 and Removing and advanced cleaning
of the brushrolls page 13.
