Carpet height
adjustment
The cleaning of carpet and rugs
takes place at the nozzle (A).
When it is necessary to raise and
lower the nozzle for various carpet
pile heights, place handle in upright
position and turn the nozzle control
knob (B) to the desired setting.
The nozzle will not move into the
adjusted position until the cleaner
handle is lowered to the operating
position.
Settings
For maximum cleaning perfor-
mance, the following carpet height
settings are recommended:
° Lowest setting: for all types of
carpet and hard surface flooring.
Note: If the cleaner is difficult to
push, turn knob to the next higher
setting.
° Higher settings: for very deep
pile carpet, where easier pushing
effort is desired, while maintaining
good cleaning performance.
Cleaning lightweight
flexible rugs
Stand on one end of rug and move
cleaner toward other end or edge.
Before reaching edge, push down
on handle. This will lift up the nozzle
(front of cleaner) as shown and will
prevent rug from clinging to cleaner.
Continue to lift up nozzle so that
when you have reached the edge,
it is completely off the rug. Move
cleaner back to start again, lower
nozzle, and use only forward
strokes.
CAUTION: To avoid personal
injury or unnecessary wear to
carpet, and to prevent the cleaner
from falling, always place it at
bottom of stairs.
Stair cleaning
Use the hose and power hand tool
for stair cleaning. Clean from bottom
to top.
When using cleaning tools, the
agitator will continue to rotate.
