HOW TO USE
Helpful Information:
Listen
to your cleaner. If you notice a change in the sound
of the motor or a change in performance, it could simply
indicate a common usage or maintenance issue. Such
as, a need to raise or lower the carpet height adjustment,
possible blockage in hose or brush roll area, or a broken
or loose brush roll belt. These are all easy to fix and the
instructions are included in this ownerʼs guide. Becoming
familiar with the information in this guide will help you to
get the best possible performance from your new cleaner
for many years to come.

operating position. To lower

Cleaner Height Setting
. An adjustment that raises or
lowers the cleaner base to match the type of floor surface.
With the cleaner cord unplugged, set the adjustment to
lowest setting for maximum carpet cleaning. If the cleaner is
difficult to push, move adjustment to next highest setting
until cleaner is comfortable to push. The brush roll must
reach the carpet for effective cleaning. For ease in moving
the adjustment knob, place handle in operating position and
tilt cleaner back to remove weight from front wheels.
