For best cleaning action, the POWER-
MATE
TM
should be pushed straight away
from you and pulled straight back. At the
end of each pull stroke, the direction of the
POWER-MATE
TM
should be changed to
point into the next section to be cleaned.
This pattern should be continued across the
rug with slow, gliding motions.
NOTE: Fast,
jerky strokes do
not provide
complete clean-
ing.
The hose swivel
allows the hose to
turn without moving
the canister. This is
helpful for cleaning
in small areas.
Check hose for
twisting before
pulling canister.
Suction
Conb'ol
Carpeted stairs need to be vacuumed reg-
ularly. For best cleaning results, fully close
the suction control.
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Use care if canister is placed on
stairs. If it falls, personal injury or
property damage could result.
For best cleaning results, keep the airflow
passage open, Check each assembly area
in HOW YOUR VACUUM WORKS occasion-
ally for clogs. Unplug from outlet before
checking.
For best deep down cleaning, use the XLO
setting. However, you may need to raise the
height to make some jobs easier, such as
scatter rugs and some deep pile carpets,
and to prevent the vacuum cleaner from
shutting off. Suggested settings are:
HI - Shag, deep pile, or scatter rugs.
MED - Medium to deep pile.
LO - Low to medium pile.
XLO - Most carpets and bare floors.
