Operation

Adding extra weight to the machine (VCR- 01 only)
CAUTION: Due to the increased contact pressure with the oor, wear of the brush and pad will increase.
The brush and pad will experience more rapid wear and tear.
CAUTION: Only use the additional weight supplied by the Vax. Using other weights can compromise
the safety of the machine and could damage the oor.
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
If the surface is particularly dirty, an additional weight can be attached to the machine to allow the brush
or pad to have greater contact pressure with the oor for a deeper clean.
Lift the additional weight using the special recesses.
Place the weight onto the body of the machine.
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
CAUTION: Always ensure the machine is unplugged before attempting to add additional weight.
CAUTION: Position ngers under recesses to ensure there is no possibility that ngers will become trapped.

A
B
B
CAUTION: Large movements of the handle up (to move left) or down (move right) will cause the machine to
move quickly. The user may feel like the machine is no longer within their control, the natural reaction to this
is to grip the handle tighter. This will not stop the machine and may cause the machine to move more rapidly.
The machine will only automatically stop if the brush rotation levers are released.
IMPORTANT: It is vital that during training and before rst use, the user practices stopping the machine, to
ensure no harm is caused to the user or surrounding areas.
CAUTION: Do not let the mains power cable come in contact with the rotating brush or pad.
CAUTION: When practicing this procedure ensure that you use dierent areas of the oor each time.
