3.  To return to floor cleaning, rotate the valve towards 

the front of the cleaner until the indicator points to 

the floor setting. Replace the wand into the lower 

retainer and secure into the wand clip. The cleaner 

is equipped with a wand device that prevents the 

wand from being stored until the suction control 

valve is set to the floor position. (See Figure 10) 

4.  To extend the cleaning reach of the wand, push the 

dark gray button nearest the handle, and pull down 

on the outer wand section. Reverse the process 

before returning the wand to the storage position. 

(See Figure 11) 

5.  The wand assembly has a built-in crevice tool and a 

permanently attached dusting brush. 

6.  To engage the dusting brush, press the dark gray 

button and slide the brush over the crevice tool until it 

locks. Reverse the process for storage. (See Figure 12)

CHANGING THE DUST BAG

1.  Pull up on the dust bin cover latch release and fully 

open the cover to expose the bag. (See Figure 13)

2.  Pull the dust bag straight up to remove. Insert new 

bag and close the cover, making sure the latch 

locks into the handle. (See Figure 14) 

NOTE: the dust bag cover will not latch without 
a dust bag installed.

CAUTION! Turn off the switch and unplug the 
electrical cord before maintenance. 

IMPORTANT! Improper installation of the brush 
roll or brush roll belt could cause carpet or 

carpet or cleaner damage.
