NOTE: Some frieze and berber carpets have long delicate fi bers or threads that
may be damaged by rotating brush. Repeated strokes in the same area may
enhance this condition.
WARNING
Before using your vacuum, make sure that the dirt container
is in locked position and that all fi lters, both pre and post-fi lters are in place.
DO NOT operate your vacuum without these fi lters.
WARNING
The rotating fl oor brush continues to rotate while tools are in use. To reduce the risk of
injury from moving parts, always move the cleaner with the carry handle at the front of the
unit. Always place the cleaner on the fl oor with the handle in the upright position when
using tools. Never place your fi ngers under the cleaner when it is running. Never place the
powerfoot on furniture or uneven surfaces. Do not place vacuum cleaner close enough to
objects to pull them into rotating brush.

the recline pedal a second time. When
you're finished, lean it all the way back up to

vacuum to adjust to different
flooring types. Simply turn the
knob towards the desired flooring
type. If your vacuum becomes
too difficult to push, just move to
a higher setting.
