The front of the vacuum cleaner has a brushbar height adjuster that raises and
lowers the brushbar to suit the type of carpet. With the cleaner NOT connected to
the electrical outlet, and when the vacuum is in the upright position set the
adjustment to the lowest setting for maximum cleaning. If the cleaner is difficult to
move, push the knob to the next highest setting until the vacuum 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 brushbar height adjuster must be set to the highest
position.

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.
