The upright vacuum cleaner is designed to be used on
multiple types of carpeting. Do not attempt to use the
upright cleaner with the brush roll operating on bare
floors, as damage to the floor covering may result.
HANDLE ADJUSTMENT
1.
With the tip of the foot, press down on the left portion
of the handle release located at the left rear side
of the cleaner. Move the handle and adjust it to the
desired height. The unit can lay completely flat for
cleaning under low furniture. (See Figure 5)

POWER SWITCH
1. The power switch is mounted on the top of the filter
assembly on the left side of the cleaner. The power
is off with the switch at the center position. Press the
front of the switch for cleaning carpet, press on the
rear of the switch to clean bare floors. (See Figure 6)

2. To determine correct height setting, start with the
highest carpet setting.
3. Lower handle to operating position (to lower vacuum
head to floor).
4. Then lower the setting one notch at a time until you
hear the brush touching the carpet. This will be a
noticeable sound change.
NOTE: Vacuum should not be difficult to
push. Setting vacuum too low could cause
premature wear on belts, brushes and motor.
ATTACHMENT CLEANING
1. The cleaner easily converts to attachment cleaning.
The cleaner should be locked into the upright
position. Remove the wand assembly and rotate
the suction control valve towards the back of the
cleaner to the hose position. (See Figure 8)
Figure 8
2. The valve should be in a horizontal position with the
indicator pointing to the hose setting. (See Figure 9)
