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 owner’s 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.
