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 or
floor with slow, gliding motions.
NOTE: Fast,
random strokes
do not provide
complete
cleaning.
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.
WARNING
Personal Injury and Product Damage
Hazard
DO NOT run over power cord with
PowerMate. Personal injury or product
damage could result.
DO NOT pull plug from wall by
the power cord. If there is damage to
the cord or plug, personal injury or
property damage could result.
STAIRS
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Use care if canister is placed on stairs. It
may fall, causing personal injury or
property damage.
CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard
Do not pull on the hose to move the
canister from one stair to the next. When
finished cleaning in one area use the
handle grip on the canister to move the
vacuum cleaner to a new location for
further cleaning.
STAIR GRiP
The stair grip located on the caster will aid
in preventing the canister from slipping
when used on stairs. During normal
operation while the canister is in the
horizontal position, the caster wheel rotates
freely 360 °.
In order to prevent
the canister from
slipping on stairs,
the STAIR GRiP
feature
automatically locks
the caster wheel in
position when the
canister is placed on
residential stairs.
NOTE: Be sure the canister is resting
securely on the stairs and the caster is in a
locked position before using.
