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, and when the vacuum is in the upright
position 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.
