4. How to Operate
Turn the vacuum cleaner on by pressing the on/off switch
located on the lower right side of the cleaner (Fig.4/1).
The cleaner can be turned off by pressing the on/off
switch again.
Adjusting the Angle of the Main Body
To adjust the angle of the vacuum cleaner body, push the
release pedal on the lower left side of the cleaner (Fig.4/2).
Move the handle to the desired position. (A) for
upright position, (B) for normal operation and (C) to clean
under furniture (Fig.4/2).
Carpet Height Adjuster
The front of the vacuum cleaner has a carpet height
adjuster that raises and lowers the brushbar to suit the
type of carpet. With the cleaner NOT connected to the
electrical outlet, 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.(Fig.4/3).
IMPORTANT
: When the vacuum cleaner is stood in
the upright position or when using the hose and
tools, the carpet height adjuster must be set to the
highest position.
WARNING:
To avoid injury, keep loose clothing, hair,
fingers and all other parts of 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.
