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.
EDGE CLEANER
Active brush edge
cleaners
are on both
sides of the
PowerMate.
Guide
either side of the
PowerMate
along the
wall or next to
furniture
to help
remove dirt trapped
at carpet
edges.
HOSE SWIVEL
The 360 ° 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.
SUGGESTED HEIGHT ADJUST SETTINGS
For best deep down cleaning, use the XLO
height adjust setting. However, you may
need to raise the height to make some jobs
easier, such as scatter rugs and some deep
pile carpets, and to prevent the vacuum
cleaner from shutting off.
Suggested
settings
are:
HI = Shag, deep
pile, or scatter
rugs.
MED = Medium
to deep pile.
LO = Low to medium pile.
XLO = Most carpets
and bare floors.
