handle. Insert bolt through small holes and

assembled as shown in the

illustration, the holes in the
handle pieces are not lined

up correctly.

tour of the plate fits around the

handle as in illustration.

bottom of the outer bag assembly

inside the wire loops at the back
of the cleaner. Pull the bag clip

to tile left and fit bag against

bag clip, make sure that it fits

completely over the bag lock.
Attach the spring to the support
hook, which is located on tile

handle.

HOW TO ATTACH THROW-
AWAY BAG TO CLEANER

out tube. Roll rubber bag

retainer down the tube toward
the cleaner. Slip the open end of

the throw-away bag onto tube and
push as [!ar back as possible. (Be

sure to match arrow or1 throw-away
bag with the 0 mark on the tube.)

Unroll the rubber bag retainer so

it holds bag firmly in place.

Grasp the pleats on each side of

the throw-away bag at dotted line
and pull out until entire dotted

line is visible. Place throw-
away bag inside the outer

jacket without folding and

close jacket.

that the throw-away bag
is inflated.

HANDLE ADJUSTMENTS

The handle on your cleaner has three positions storage, operating,
and low (for reaching under low furniture). The handle can be

lowered by stepping on pedal at the left rear of cleaner. The handle
stiould always be in storage position when cleaning tools are used.

RUG ADJUSTMENTS

The rug adjustment lever located on the right
rear of the cleaner offers four different positions

for better cleaning on a wide range of carpet. The
four positions are: LOW, NORMAL, HIGH

and SHAG.

To select the desired rug position, tilt the cleaner

forward and adjust the lever until it "clicks"

into the desired position.

For best results the lever is conveniently adjusted

by hand.

Select the LOW setting for cleaning Indoor/Outdoor carpet. Notice that
the nozzle of the cleaner is flush with the carpet. For rugs of normal

pile height, select the NORMAL position. If the cleaner is difficult
to push, move the lever to the HIGH position. Choose the SHAG
position for cleaning very long or shag pile carpet.

Note: When removing loose dirt from hard surface floors, adjust the
cleaner to the NORMAL position. The LOW setting on the cleaner

lowers the nozzle to the carpet for effective cleaning of LOW carpet.
However, be certain to change the rug position when cleaning normal

or shag pile carpet, 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.

IF USED OUTDOORS OR ON WET SURFACES.
