Upright ing

Handle adjustments

The handle of your cleaner has

three positions: Upright for storage

and when using attachments.

Operating for general operation

on carpet and floors. Low for

reaching under low furniture.

Adjustment for carpet pile height

'The cleaning of carpet and rugs takes

place at the nozzle. This is the opening

at the bottom of the cleaner where the

agitator is located. Fig. 1.

It is necessary to raise and lower the

nozzle for various carpet pile heights.

The adjustment lever raises and lowers

the nozzle for various carpet pile and

is located to the right of the bag near

the bottom of the cleaner. The pile

height adjustment displays in the

window on top of the cleaner. Fig. 2.

Select the desired nozzle adjustment

by moving the lever with your toe

until it "clicks" into the desired posi-

tion. Fig. 3.

You can most easily make adjustments

if you move the lever UPWARDS into

the desired position. Therefore, when

a downward adjustment is required,

first press the lever all the way down

into the SHAG position and then move

upwards one position at a time. The

nozzle adjustment display will indicate

each pile height as you move the lever.

Select the adjustment for the carpet pile height according to the chart below.

Low for low pile and kitchen carpet

Normal for rugs with normal pile height and for removing loose dirt from

hard surface floors

High for rugs with normal pile height but thicker density; if the cleaner

is difficult to push at "Normal", move the lever to the "High"

position

8hag for very long or shag pile carpet

Note: If the "Low" setting is used when cleaning normal or shag pile carpet,

there is an increase in the belt load and pushing effort is greatly increased.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Carrying handle

Your cleaner has a convenient carry-

ing handle located underneath the han-

dle bait.

Edge cleaning

This feature improves the cleaning of

carpet edges near baseboards and solid

furniture. Dust and lint tend to collect

along these edges. The cleaner bottom

plate has been designed with a passage-

way for dirt to enter the nozzle from

the side to increase cleaning ability of

edges. From the right or left side,

slowly guide the cleaner parallel to

the edge of the carpet.

Cleaning lightweight flexible rugs

Lightweight flexible rugs used on hard

surface floors in entrances, bathrooms,

etc. should be cleaned by the following

method.

Stand on one end of the rug and move

the cleaner toward the other end or

edge. Before reaching the other end,

push down on the handle. This will lift

up the nozzle (front of cleaner) and

will prevent the rug from clinging to

the cleaner. Continue to lift up the

nozzle so that when you have reached

the edge, it is completely off the rug.

Move the cleaner back to start again

and lower the nozzle, using only for-

ward strokes.
