VACUUMING TIPS
Suggested sweeping pattern.
For best cleaning action, the PowerMate ®should
be pushed straight away from you and pulled
straight back. At the end of each pull stroke, the
direction of the PowerMate ® should be changed
to point into the next section to be cleaned. This
pattern should be continued across the carpet
with slow, gliding motions.
NOTE: Fast, jerky
strokesdo not
provide complete
cleaning.
The hose swivel allows
the hose to turn without
moving the canister.
This is helpful for
cleaning in small areas.
Check hose for twisting
before pulling canister.
CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard
Use care if the PowerMate ® and wand is left in
the upright position as it may tip over easily.
Property damage can occur if tipped.
