Cleaning lightweight
flexible rugs

Stand on one end of rug and move
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 rug from clinging to cleaner.
Continue to lift up nozzle so that
when you have reached the edge, it
is completely off the rug. Move
cleaner back to start again, lower
nozzle, and use only forward
strokes.

Edge cleaning

Special edge groomers are  provid-
ed on both sides of the nozzle to
remove dirt in carpet near base-
boards and furniture.  
Guide either side of nozzle parallel
to edge of carpet or furniture.

Stair cleaning

A stair cleaning handle has been

designed for ease in using your

cleaner on stairs. With handle in

operating position, place fingers

under edge of stair cleaning handle

and guide cleaner with other hand

on upper handle.
As an alternative, you may use the

hose and powered hand tool or fur-

niture nozzle for stair cleaning.

Clean from bottom to top.

When using cleaning tools, the

agitator will continue to rotate.
CAUTION: To avoid personal

injury or unnecessary wear to car-

pet, and to prevent the cleaner

from falling, always place it at

bottom of stairs.

How to attach tool

cover

The tool cover is designed with a

“break-away” feature which allows it

to snap free if it is pushed open too

far.  
To reattach, align hinges of cover

with slots on sides of tool storage

area.  
Push cover down to secure in place.

Cleaning tools

Tools allow for cleaning surfaces

above the floor and for reaching

hard to clean areas.
The cleaner is ready for tool use

when 

handle is in upright posi-

tion.
CAUTION: Agitator continues to

rotate while cleaner handle is in

upright position. Avoid tipping

cleaner or setting it on furniture,

fringed area rugs or carpeted

stairs during tool use.

Removing hose

When using cleaning tools, 

cleaner

handle should be in the upright
position.

before disconnecting and con-
necting hose to hose tube (A).

To use hose, lift hose end as shown.
Lower cover (B) onto hose tube.
