IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electric appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
Read all instructions before using this vacuum cleaner.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Remove hose from inlet valve and
unplug the electrical cord when not in use and before servicing.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near
children.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended
attachments.
Some hoses contain electrical wires. Do not use if damaged, cut, or punctured. Avoid
picking up sharp objects.
Always turn off this appliance before connecting or disconnecting either hose or
motorized nozzle.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should,
has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service
center.
Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces.
Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.
Turn off all controls before unplugging.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free
of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
This vacuum creates suction and some contain a revolving brush roll. Keep hair, loose
clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
Do not place cleaner on furniture as brush roll may damage the furniture. Place cleaner
on floor with the handle in storage position while using attachments.
Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or
hot ashes.
Do not use without dust bag or filter (s) in place.
Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent burns, avoid touching the
belt pulley when servicing the drive belt.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Do not pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use in areas
where they may be present.
Store your cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.
Keep your work area well lighted.
Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.

POWERHEAD BRUSH ROLL BELT
Your motor driven powerhead uses a belt to transfer power from the electric motor to the
revolving brush roll. One of the safety features in your powerhead is a design to let the
belt slip if something becomes caught in the brush roll.
One result of this slip feature is belts that require occasional replacement. The length of
time between replacements will vary based on your specific usage. Should you notice a
reduction in cleaning, replace the belt.
Powerhead belts are not replaced under warranty, since they are designed to slip rather
than permit damage to the motor.
Edge Cleaner
EDGE CLEANER feature provides for improved cleaning of carpets near walls and
stationary furniture. Slots on the sides of the nozzle increase air flow to the edges of the
powerhead and add to the cleaning efficiency of the powerhead. To operate, simply run
powerhead along edge board. Edge Cleaner operates instantly and automatically.
Carpet Cleaning Adjustment
The motorized nozzle automatically adjusts to
any carpet level for maximum cleaning. The
amount of suction can be changed to fit your
specific cleaning needs by adjusting the suction
control ring on the hose handle.
