When vacuuming carpets, set the carpet-to-floor selector
to the "Carpet" position to engage the brush bar. When
vacuuming bare floors, set the carpet-to-floor selector to

bar and it will not turn (Fig.4/8).

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 bar must reach the carpet
for the most effective cleaning.
IMPORTANT: See the manufacturer's
!
recommendations when vacuuming delicate or
hand woven carpets. They may suggest vacuuming
your carpet with the power nozzle on a low height
with the brush bar "Off. If this is the case, set the
carpet height adjustor to the lowest setting and
place the carpet-to-floor selector to the "Bare
Floor/Tools" position.

!
each use and during prolonged usage. Never
over fill the dust cup beyond the "MAX" fill line -
remove dirt and clean the cyclone shroud each time
the dust cup is emptied or during prolonged usage or
risk motor damage. Empty the cyclonic chamber every
three months depending on the amount of usage.
Never let the dust in the cyclonic chamber surpass
the "MAX" fill line.

rotating brush bar which, when left in contact
with lino, parquet and other hard flooring could

the brush bar when using this cleaner on lino and hard
flooring. Vax cannot be held responsible for damage to
these surfaces if the customer fails to take notice of
this recommendation.
