Cleaning lightweight
rugs
To clean lightweight flexible rugs, stand
on one end of rug and move cleaner
toward other end or edge. Before reach-
ing edge, push down on handle. This
will lift up the nozzle (front of cleaner)
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.
