NFORMATION

This vacuum is designed to efficiently
clean large areas of carpets. It also per-
forms very well on hard surface floors.
The heavy duty motor provides power for
the brush and rotating fan. The large
capacity filter bag, foot switch and foot
pedal for nozzle height adjustment pro-
vide convenient operation.

The Chevron pattern brush pushes dirt
toward center of the brush and vacuum
inlet for pickup. 

In areas where more than average dirt
is present, it is recommended that a
second pass be made over the surface. 

Back up the vacuum to lift carpet nap,
thus helping to remove the heavy, deep
dirt or sand.

correct power source to correspond to
