Operations
Power switch
The Power switch on the 3243 series is located
on the left side of the vacuum. Push the rocker
switch "ON" (I) to vacuum, and "OFF" (O) when
cleaning is complete.
NOTE: You can find your model number on the
back, bottom side of the vacuum on the white
sticker by the UL rating.
Handle position
Press the handle release pedal with your
foot to place your vacuum into one of three
cleaning positions.
1. Upright – For storage and above floor
cleaning with tools.
2. Normal cleaning – Press handle release
for household floor cleaning tasks.
3. Low cleaning – With the vacuum in
normal cleaning position, press handle release
pedal again, use for reaching under low furniture
such as tables, chairs or beds.
Height adjustment
There are five height settings available for
various floor surfaces. Turn the dial on the foot
of the cleaner to the desired setting.
Lowest setting – For low pile carpet or bare
floors. To pick up debris, it may be necessary
to move up one setting.
Medium setting – For medium pile carpet.
Highest setting – For high pile and most
shag carpet.
NOTE: For optimal carpet cleaning performance,
adjust to the lowest practical setting. If your
cleaner is difficult to push, adjust to the next
higher setting.
If the dial is difficult to turn, tilt the cleaner
back slightly to take the weight off the foot
while turning.
Transporting cleaner
1. To move your cleaner from room to room, put
the handle in the upright position, tilt the cleaner
back on its rear wheels and push forward.
2. The cleaner can also be moved by using the
carrying handle.

for obstructions.

(pre-motor and post-motor) are in place. Do not
operate your vacuum without these filters.

first for objects that might harm the unit or block
the vacuum hose.
