HANDLE POSITIONS
The vacuum has three positions:
• Upright for storage and when
using cleaning tools.
• Operating position for
vacuuming carpet and floors.
• Low for reaching under furniture.
To navigate each position step on
the handle release lever and lower
the handle. (See Figure 12)
TRANSPORTING VACUUM

vacuum back onto the rear
wheels and push forward.
(See Figure 13)

moved by using the carrying
handle. (See Figure 14)
CARPET HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT
Carpet and rug cleaning takes
place at the nozzle (I). When it is
necessary to raise and lower the
nozzle for various carpet pile heights,
slide the nozzle control knob (J) to
the desired setting. (See Figure 15)
It is best to start with the highest
setting and lower one notch at a time
until you hear brushes touching the carpet.

HANDLE POSITION
For ease in sliding knob, the
handle should be in the upright
position (K). (See Figure 16)
The nozzle will not move into the
adjusted position until the vacuum
handle is lowered to the operating
position (L). (See Figure 16)
SETTINGS
For maximum cleaning
performance, the following
carpet height settings are
recommended:
• Low setting: For bare floor (See Figure 17)
• High settings: For deep pile carpet so vacuum is
easier to push. (See Figure 17)
NOTE: If the vacuum is difficult to push, slide
knob to the next higher setting.
NOTE: Setting vacuum at too low of a carpet
height setting can result in premature wear of
belts, brushes and motor.
CLEANING LIGHTWEIGHT AREA RUGS
1. Stand on one end of a rug and move the vacuum
toward the other end of the rug.
2. Before reaching the edge, push
down on the handle. This will lift
up the front of the vacuum and
prevent the rug from clinging to
the vacuum. (See Figure 18)
3. Continue to lift up the nozzle so that when you have
reached the edge it is completely off the rug.
4. Move the vacuum back to start again, lower the
nozzle, and use only forward strokes.
STAIR CLEANING
WARNING! Use extra care when cleaning
on stairs. To avoid personal injury or damage,
and to prevent the vacuum from falling, always
place vacuum at the bottom of the stairs or on
the floor. Do not place the vacuum on stairs or
furniture, as it may result in injury or damage.
A stair cleaning handle has been
designed for ease of use. With
handle in operating position, place
fingers under edge of stair cleaning
handle and guide vacuum with other
hand on upper handle. (See Figure 19)
