How to Adjust for Carpet Height
WARNING
clothing, hair, fingers and all other parts
of body away from any moving parts
(such as the beater brush). Turn off the
switch and unplug the vacuum before
adjusting the vacuum for the carpet
height.
The front of the power nozzle has a
carpet height adjustment knob that
raises and lowers the motorized power
head to match the type of carpet.
(Fig. 18) With the vacuum NOT
connected to the electrical outlet, set the
adjustment to the lowest setting for
maximum cleaning. If the vacuum is too
difficult to push, move the knob to the
next highest setting until the vacuum is
comfortable to push. The brush roll must
reach the carpet for the most effective
cleaning.
