STAIR GRIP
During normal operation while the canister
is in the horizontal position, the caster wheel
rotates freely 360 °.
The Stair Grip
feature allows
the caster
wheel to lock
inposition
when the
vacuum
cleaner is
rotated 25 ° from horizontal into a vertical
position in order for the canister to rest on
stairs.
WAND LIGHT
This vacuum cleaner is
equipped with a light on the
extension wand. This light
will operate only when the
vacuum cleaner is in
CARPET mode (see HOW
TO START). The light will
operate when attached or
not attached to the
PowerMate.
The light can be used for lighting hard to
reach locations.
DIRT SENSOR
The dirt sensor light system is
mounted on the handle. It
consists of a red and a green
light.
IN OPERATION
When the vacuum cleaner is in use, the lights
will change as dirt is being vacuumed. As
long as the red light is on, dirt is passing
through the handle to indicate that the
surface still needs cleaning.
When the sensor light changes to green, the
sensor is not seeing enough dirt to warrant
further cleaning of that area.
SUCTION CONTROL
The suction
control allows
you to change
the vacuum
suction for
different Suction
fabrics and
carpet weights. Opening the control
decreases suction for draperies and
lightweight rugs, while closing the control
increases suction for upholsteries and
carpets.
