Panasonic MC-V7320 Operating Instructions Manual page 9

To use cleaner on bare floors, the carpet/bare floor selector on
top of the nozzle should be positioned all the way back
and down toward the bottom of the nozzle until
it locks into place. When the selector is in this
position, the agitator does not turn. This is
also the correct position to place the selector in
to use the attachments. When the attachments
are used, the agitator should not be turning.
To use cleaner on carpeted areas, the carpet/bare floor
selector should be all the way forward and up to the carpet
position. This position will allow the agitator to turn. When
carpets are being cleaned, the selector should be in this position.
Floor Selector
Take care when selecting either position to make sure the selector is pushed fully and quickly as
possible to that position. Failure to do so can cause the belt to rub on the selector shaft and may
result in the belt becoming hot and creating a burning rubber smell.
To prevent injury when returning the selector to the carpet position, use caution as the selector can
move quickly upward due to tension caused by the belt.
