Suggested sweeping pattern.
For best cleaning action, the Power-Mate ®
should be pushed straight away from you
and pulled straight back, At the end of each
pull stroke, the direction of the Power-Mate ®
shouid be changed to point into the next
section to be cleaned, This pattern should
be continued across the rug with slow, glid-
ing 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
Control
Carpeted stairs need to be vacuumed
regularly° For best cleaning results, fu!ly
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 air-
flow passage open. Check each assem-
bly area in HOW YOUR VACUUM
WORKS occasionally for clogs, Unplug
from outlet before checking.
• CAUTION
To prevent tip over, never leave
Power-Mate ® on or in the upright
position.Turning the handle to one
side will make the Power-Mate ®more
stable and less likely to tip over.
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 pileo
LO - Low to medium pile.
XLO - Most carpets and bare floors.
