Carpet Height Adjuster
The front of the vacuum cleaner has a carpet height
adjuster (Fig.4/4) that raises and lowers the brushbar to
suit the type of carpet). With the cleaner NOT connected
to the electrical outlet, set the adjustment to the
appropriate setting for maximum cleaning. If the cleaner is
difficult to move, push the adjuster to the next highest
setting until the cleaner is comfortable to push. The
brushbar must reach the carpet for effective cleaning.
IMPORTANT
: When the vacuum cleaner is stood in
the upright position or when using the hose and
tools, the carpet height adjuster must be set to the
highest position.
WARNING:
To avoid injury, keep loose clothing, hair,
fingers and all other parts of the body away from
any moving part (such as the brushbar). Turn off the
switch and unplug the cleaner before adjusting the
cleaner for the carpet height.
CAUTION:
The brushbar continues to rotate while
the hose is removed or in use, and at all times while
the vacuum cleaner is on. The vacuum cleaner must be in
the upright position to lift the rotating brushbar off the
carpet when using the accessories. Vax recommend that
the carpet height adjuster is at its highest setting.
Motor Thermostat
IMPORTANT:
The motor is equipped with a thermal
cut-out. If, for any reason, the vacuum cleaner
should over-heat, the thermostat will automatically turn
the unit off. Should this occur, unplug the vacuum cleaner
from the wall outlet and turn off the switch. Remove the
dirt container and empty. Clean the filters. Allow the
cleaner to cool for approximately 1 hour. To re-start, plug
into a wall outlet and switch back on.
5. Accessories
Upholstery tool:
for carpet, upholstery, stairs etc.
Dusting brush:
for delicate surfaces.
Crevice tool:
for crevices, corners, cracks etc.
Attaching the Accessories
To attach the accessories to the hand grip, remove the
hand grip from the telescopic tube (Fig.3/3) and push in
the desired accessory (Fig.5/1).
To attach the accessory to the telescopic tube for a
longer reach, remove the telescopic tube and push the
accessory on to the end of the tube (Fig.5/2).
When using the attachments, always ensure that the
hose is inserted into the hose holder located at the
bottom of the unit, just behind the dirt container
(Fig.5/3). This will help to keep the cleaner from tipping
over.
