Some models have a "check bag" indicator on the
outside of the bag door. Fig, 4
The cleaning tool hose attaches to the cleaner
through the top of the hood and CAN stay attached
at all times.
When using cleaning tools, the nozzle control must
be in the #5 cleaning tools position. Fig, 5
With the nozzle control in the number 5 position, a
valve gate in the main body closes and blocks all air
flow from the agitator cavity therefore diverting it to
the hose.
Set on carpet, positions 1-4, the gate valve is
opened allowing air to flow from the agitator cavity
to the motor. Fig, 6
To ensure maximum efficiency in the 4 floor cleaning
positions .b_o_Lb_
hose ends must be firmly connected
to the cleaner base and tool rack Fig, 7 or the hose
removed completely and the tool door closed.
