Carpet height
adjustment
The cleaning of carpet and rugs
takes place at the nozzle (A).
When it is necessary to raise and
lower the nozzle for various carpet
pile heights, slide the nozzle control
knob (B) to the desired setting.
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 de-
signed for ease in using your cleaner on
stairs. With handle in operating position,

When using cleaning tools, the agitator
will continue to rotate.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or
unnecessary wear to carpet, and to pre-
vent the cleaner from falling, always
place it at bottom of stairs.
