FIG. 1
This deluxe cleaner provides you with an automatic
‘Power Drive’ feature. It propels the cleaner forward
and backward at a variable rate of speed controlled
entirely by (you) the operator.
!
To move forward
Push the handle grip forward. Notice that the cleaner moves in a forward direction with little effort.
You control the speed at which the cleaner moves.
To move backward
Gently pull the handle grip and guide the cleaner
toward you. The cleaner moves both forward and
backward with the same ease when using the auto-
matic ‘Power Drive’ feature.
NOTE: For best results guide the cleaner gently at
first until you have adjusted to the ease of operating
the cleaner. The ‘Power Drive’ feature is in operation
only when the motor is turned on. To move the
cleaner without operating the motor use the trans-
port button (disengage drive) according to the
instructions on page 5.
Set the suction
Set the dial on the back of the cleaner to the Carpet
Suction area. It is suggested that you set the indicator
at MAX setting for all carpeting. If the cleaner is difficult to push over carpeting with suction at MAX,
move the indicator toward the MIN setting.
Note: Be certain dial indicator points to desired
suction-not to the neutral area between carpet and
tool suction.
Three position handle
Storage, operating and low (for reaching under low
furniture). The handle can be lowered by stepping
on the pedal at the left rear of cleaner.
The handle should always be in storage position
when cleaning tools are used.
