how to operate

Floor/Carpet Cleaning

Move the handle and adjust it to the desired position for
(a) storing the upright, (b) operating the cleaner, and (c)
de-press the handle release pedal again to clean under
furniture. NOTE: Brushbar could cause rug fringe area to
become tangled within cleaner. Use caution when
vacuuming throw rugs with fringe.

Using the Accessories

Cleaner must be in its upright position to raise brushbar.
Turn carpet height adjuster to long carpet pile setting
(Fig.4/5).

Remove the lower hose from the base of the cleaner and
the upper hose from the hose caddy (Fig.4/6).

Any of the accessories can be directly attached to the
hose end or the end of the extension wand (Fig.4/7).

Simply push the attachment
firmly onto the end of the
extension wand. To remove
tool, twist and pull apart
gently (Fig.4/8).

The TurboTool is ideal for
lifting pet hair off carpets,
stairs and upholstery. The
TurboTool is most effective
when using backward
strokes over the area that
is being cleaned .

Carry Handle

Use the carry handle located
on the top of the dirt
container lid to move the
cleaner from room to room
(Fig.4/9).
