Cleaner Height Setting
WARNING: Avoid injury. Keep loose clothing, hair, fingers, and all other parts
of body away from any moving part (such as the revolving brush).
Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner before changing the
cleaner height setting.
Adjust the vacuum cleaner height setting to match the carpet pile height. Refer to the
following chart of recommended settings for carpet types.
The front of the cleaner has either a
knob or slide adjustment which raises
or lowers the cleaner base to match the
type of carpet. With the cleaner cord
unplugged, set the adjustment
according to the table as a starting point.
While the cleaner is off and
disconnected from the outlet, place
the handle in the operating position, tilt
the cleaner back to remove the weight
from the wheels, and adjust the setting.
Then plug the cleaner into the electrical
outlet, turn on the switch, lower the
handle, and pass the cleaner over the
carpet. If the cleaner is still difficult to
push, follow the procedure and test the
cleaner at the next higher setting.
Continue testing the setting until the
cleaner is comfortable to move. Moving
the knob or slide to the next higher
setting raises the brush roll slightly,
making the cleaner easier to push.
However, the brush roll must make
contact with the carpet for effective cleaning.

The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To

Cleaner Care

To keep the vacuum cleaner looking new, it can be wiped with a damp cloth and a mild
soap solution, then thoroughly dried. Never use any type of chemical as chemicals
