along a baseboard. The full width agitator brushes help remove dirt at carpet edges.

Stairs

Put handle in full upright position, Place the carpet/bare floor selector in the bare floor

position. Use the crevice tool or combina-

tion brush. Set the On/Off switch to ON.

Note: When using attachments make

sure the cleaner is in the upright position

and the Carpet/Bare Floor selector is in the Bare Floor position.

WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard Do not place cleaner on stairs, If it

falls, personal injury or property dam. age could result

Hard to Reach Areas

The slim design of the nozzle allows the user to clean hard to reach areas such as;

under tables, chairs, couches etc...

If a lower vacuuming position is desired,

press the handle release pedal a second time. This will allow the operator to lay the

vacuum back to a more flat position gaining better clearance for cleaning under low objects.

For best cleaning results, keep the airflow passage clear.

Occasionally,check each of the areas indi- cated for clogs. (see page 18)

! . CAUTION

Unplug the cleaner from the outlet before checking.

MOTOR PROTECTOR

This vacuum has a motor protector by-

pass valve which automatically opens to provide cooling air to the motor when a

clog prevents the normal flow of air to the motor. If the by-pass valve opens to prevent motor overheating and possible

damage to the vacuum, you will notice a change of sound as air rushes through the

valve opening.

Motor -_ It"

Note: Do not Protecto, lt.-_: block motor

protector.

To correct problem: See the TROUBLE- SHOOTING chart,

Note: The motor protector may open

when using attachments or when cleaning new carpet, due to reduced airflow by the attachments themselves or by new carpet fuzz filling the dust bin quickly. See the

TROUBLESHOOTING section.

THERMAL PROTECTOR This vacuum has a thermal protector which

automatically trips to protect the vacuum from overheating. If a clog prevents the

normal flow of air to the motor, the thermal

protector turns the motor off automatically to

allow the motor to cool in order to prevent

possible damage to the vacuum. During this

time the headlight remains on.

To correct problem: If this occurs, turn the vacuum off and unplug the power cord from

the outlet to allow the vacuum to cool and the thermal protector to reset. Check for

and remove clogs, if necessary. Also check and clean/replace any clogged

filters. Wait approximately thirty (30)

minutes and plug the vacuum in and turn back on to see if the motor protector has reset. The motor protector will not reset

if the vacuum is not turned off even if the vacuum has cooled down.

VACUUM CLEANER CARE

Always follow all safety precautions when cleaning and servicing the vacuum

cleaner.

Gather the cord and wrap it loosely around the upper and lower cord hooks.

Electrical Shock And Personal Injury Hazard

Disconnect electrical supply before servicing or cleaning the unit,

Failure to do so could result in elec- trical shock or personal injury from

cleaner suddenly starting.

Store the cleaner in a dry, indoor area, on the floor with the handle locked in the

upright position.
