Height Adjustment
Press the recline pedal to lean your vacuum
back for cleaning. To get even lower, press
the recline pedal a second time. When
you’re finished, lean it all the way back up to
lock it into the upright position.
You can easily raise or lower your vacuum
to adjust to different flooring types. Simply
turn the knob towards the desired flooring
type. If your vacuum becomes too difficult
to push, just move to a higher setting.
Press the red power switch with
your foot to turn on the unit.
Press it again to turn your vacuum
off when you’ve finished cleaning.
NOTE: Some frieze and berber carpets have long delicate fibers or threads that
may be damaged by rotating brush. Repeated strokes in the same area may
enhance this condition.
WARNING
Before using you vacuum, make sure the bag and filter are in
place and the bag door is secure. DO NOT operate your vacuum without the bag and filter.
WARNING
The rotating floor brush continues to rotate while tools are in use. To reduce the risk of
injury from moving parts, always move the cleaner with the carry handle at the front of the
unit. Always place the cleaner on the floor with the handle in the upright position when
using tools. Never place your fingers under the cleaner when it is running. Never place the
powerfoot on furniture or uneven surfaces. Do not place vacuum cleaner close enough to
objects to pull them into rotating brush.

jobs easier. Just put your vacuum in the upright position, pick the accessory tool
that best fits your needs and attach it to the end of your hose. You’re ready to
clean base boards, curtains, upholstery and much more.

Helpful Tips
Easily carry the vacuum up and down stairs
or from room to room using the vacuum
carry handle. The vacuum carry handle is
located on the front of the vacuum above
the vacuum bag latch.
While vacuum is in use, fasten the
power cord to the cord clip located on
the back of the handle above the hose
clip. This will help to keep the cord out
of your way as you vacuum.
