The Brush Height Adjustment Feature - Figure 11
To adjust the brush height, rotate the dial (33) for high carpet (dial setting 4) and progressively lower (bare floor is dial setting
1). The brush obstruction light located on top of the power head (34) will illuminate in red if the height setting is too high. Dial
down to the next number until the light is no longer illuminated. If the red light does not turn off, the brush roller may be worn.

Indicator Lights - Figure 11
By pushing the foot pedal (figure 7) and lowering the handle, you activate the power head and the brush begins spinning.
Failure to use the foot pedal will cause lasting damage to the machine. The electronic brush control constantly monitors the
status of the brush, communicating the status through the lights on top.
Green On/Off Light:
Brush is on and spinning.
(35, figure 11)
Yellow On/Off Light:
The brush roller has been switched off and the vacuum is operating with straight suction only.
(35, figure 11)
Red Brush-warning Light:
The brush is not fully engaged in the carpet. The height adjustment should be lowered. If the
(34, figure 11)
height adjustment is at its lowest setting, the brush is worn and needs to be replaced.
Red Brush-warning
Light Flashing:
The brush is blocked. Turn off the power head, disconnect it from the power source, and then
(34, figure 11)
remove the blockage (see page 12).
Using the Hose Handle, Hose & Attachments - Figures 8 & 9
The hose handle (19) is useful for vacuuming corners and hard-to-reach areas. You may use the
hose handle with or without an attachment. Pull the hose handle (19) from the suction opening (18)
in the side of the vacuum. Keep a firm hold on the handle grip while using the hose handle as it
could tip if the hose is pulled too far. The standard
attachments [the crevice nozzle (22) and dust-
ing brush (23)] and the optional
attachments [the hand-held Turbo brush, upholstery nozzle,
straight tube and extension hose (see page 6)] may be inserted onto the hose handle. It is not nec-
essary to turn off the vacuum while switching the attachments.
NOTE:
When using the hose and
attachments, keep the vacuum in its upright position.
To change a floor tool or power head, switch off the power and unplug the vacuum. Press the tool
release button (14) and pull the vacuum out of the power head neck (20). Insert the vacuum into
the new tool and push down gently until it snaps into place. Plug the vacuum in and switch the
power on.
When changing power heads and floor tools
, always switch the vacuum off with the main power
switch (3), and then unplug the power cord.
NOTE:
When switching off the power switch, always
make sure the switch “clicks” into the OFF position before unplugging the power cord.
Detachable Suction Unit - Figure 9
When detached from the power head, or floor tool, the DART transforms itself into a lightweight,
powerful suction unit, which can be carried around using its comfortable carrying handle (figure
9). Ideal for cleaning stairs, car interiors or upholstery. To remove a floor tool or power head,
switch off the power and unplug the vacuum. Press the tool release button (14) and pull the vacu-
um out of the power head neck (20).
Full Bag or Clog Indicator – Figure 10
When a full bag, a clog in the airflow pathway, or an excessively dirty microfilter is detected, an indi-
cator gauge on the bag housing lid (7) “fills” with orange color. The user should turn the switch off,
unplug the machine and immediately insert a new bag or remove the clog (to remove a clog, refer
to the Clog Removal section on page 12). If the airflow is still restricted, the “BAG FULL OR CLOG”
indicator will again display and the machine will shut off.

Brush Obstruction Light & Auto Shut Off – Figure 11
If an obstruction becomes jammed in the brush roller, a red brush-warning light will
quickly flash, the brush roller will immediately stop spinning and the vacuum will shut
off. The user should turn the power switch off, unplug the machine, and immediately
remove the obstruction. If the user restarts the machine without removing the obstruction,
the power head will again shut off and the red light will flash. This prevents the belt from
breaking and protects the motor and carpet from damage.
