TROUBLESHOOTING
IF YOUR VAX SUDDENLY STOPS :
The fuse may have blown. Disconnect your VAX from
the mains, empty the machine and clear any
blockages. Replace the 13 amp fuse and try again.
If it still does not work, contact your nearest
service agent. Check for blockages in the hose,
change and clean all the filters.
IF YOUR VAX DOES NOT SUCK UP PROPERLY :
●
Check to see if the dust bag is full.
●
Ensure there are no blockages in the hose.
●
Clean/change the filters. See pages 13/ 14/ 15.
IF YOUR VAX DOES NOT WASH PROPERLY:
●
Check to see if the Dirty water bucket is full. If
it is, empty it. See page 7 picture no. 5.
●
Make sure the solution tube is at the bottom of
the water/washing solution.
See page 5 picture no. 3.
●
Ensure that the connector on the end of the
water delivery tube is fitted properly.
See page 6 picture no. 1.
●
As your VAX is very powerful, you may find that
the dust bag fills up quickly the first time that
you use your VAX.
●
The stair cleaning stretch hose supplied with the
model 6130SX is very long. It will normally reach
up a full flight of stairs. Take care when using
this hose, it may spring back suddenly.
●
WHEN WASHING CARPETS OR UPHOLSTERY, ALWAYS
TEST FOR COLOUR FASTNESS, WITH SOME
UNDILUTED CLEANER ON A HIDDEN AREA .
●
When washing deep pile carpets, move the washing
tool in the same direction as the pile lays.
●
Start from the furthest corner of the room and
work backwards towards the door.
●
If you are washing very dirty carpets, you may
have to wash them several times over a period of
time to bring the dirt to the surface.
●
When washing stairs, always place your VAX above
the area you are washing.
ALWAYS ENSURE YOUR VAX IS STABLE.
DO NOT PULL EXCESSIVELY ON THE HOSE.
●
Metal or wooden furniture legs may mark a wet
carpet, wait until the carpet is dry before replacing
furniture or cover legs with aluminium foil.
●
Don’t allow children or animals onto your carpet
until it has had time to dry.
