Brush Adjustment
The top pedal at the right rear is used
to adjust the brush up from the carpet
floor. There are five basic setting that
can be changed by adjusting the front
caster height. Adjust the caster so it
provides level contact of the bristles to
the carpet floor.
To lower the brush, depress the lower
pedal at right rear of the vacuum, using
slow positive pressure, release one
notch of ratchet at a time.
Nozzle Adjustment
The nozzle should be set for various car-
pet nat heights. Carpets with low nap
use the lower settings, high nap the high-
er settings. The highest settings consis-
tent with good cleaning should be used
for the type of carpet being cleaned.
Setting nozzle lower than necessary
may not result in good cleaning per-
formance. Excessive wear to the car-
pet and brush bristles occurs and the
vacuum is difficult to push.
Belt Adjustment
Adjust the belts for wear by loosening
the brush mounting screws. Pull the
brush forward until the belt is taut,
retighten the screws.
See brush assembly schematic, parts
list and fig 1.
Cloth Filter Bag

kept clean for best cleaning results.

paper filter bag and cloth bag. Turn
the cloth bag inside out through the

Brush Assembly

must be replaced.

guard, install new brush and re-
assemble.

Power Cord
Check the power cord for worn spots,
and breaks. Replace if defective for safe-
ty of the operator.

cord around the handle.
