3. Lower wand from upright position by
pressing on the handle release pedal.
CAUTION
DO NOT leave the Power-Mate ® running
in one spot in the upright position for
any length of time. Damage to carpet
may occur.
4. Select a pile height setting by pressing
the small pedal on the rear of the Power-
Mate ® . The pile height setting shows on the
indicator. See SUGGESTED PILE HEIGHT
SETTINGS.
Attention: Refer to your carpet manufac-
turers cleaning recommendations. Some
more delicate carpets may require that they
be vacuumed with the Power-Mate ® agitator
turned off to prevent carpet damage.

VACUUMING TIPS

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
should be changed to point into the next
section to be cleaned. This pattern should
be continued across the carpet 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.

5. Select a switch
position on the
handle.
OFF
FLOOR - turns on the canister motor only.
CARPET - turns on both the canister and
the Power-Mate ® motors.
NOTE - When this switch is in the FLOOR
position, the headlight DOES NOT function
since no electricity flows to the Power-
Mate ® .
