on carpet and floors; low for reaching

under low furniture. Step on handle release

pedal to lower handle.

cleaner.

Carpet height

adjustment

The cleaning of carpet and rugs takes

place at the nozzle (D).

When it is necessary to raise and lower the

nozzle for various carpet pile heights, turn

the carpet height adjustment knob (E) to

the desired setting.

For ease in turning the knob, place handle

in upright position.

until handle is lowered to operating

position.

Settings

Some models have 3 settings, others have

5. For both types, the following recommen-

dations apply.

For maximum cleaning performance,

the following carpet height settings are

recommended.

•Low setting: for all types of carpet and

hard floors.

Note: Ifthe cleaner is difficult to push,

rotate knob to the next higher setting.

•Medium and Higher settings: for deep-

er pile carpet where easier pushing effort

is desired, while maintaining good clean-

ing performance.

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

again, lower nozzle, and use only for-

ward strokes.

unnecessary wear to carpet, and to

prevent the cleaner from falling,

always place it at the bottom of the

stairs.

the floor and for reaching hard to clean

areas.

• The cleaner is ready for tool use when

handle is in upright position.

OFF-HUSH TM switch to ON and set the

Power Boost Switch to lock.

tridge filter will collect fine particles that

have passed through the pre-filter screen.

emptied before the dirt reaches the dirt

inlet opening on back of dirt cup (Fig. 3-

as face powder or cornstarch, may

seal the filter and cause loss of suc-

tion. When using the cleaner for this

type of dust, empty the cup and clean

the filters often.
