from you and pulled straight back. At the
end of each pull stroke, the direction of the
POWER-MATE™ should be changed to
point into the next section to be cleaned.
This pattern should be continued across the
rug with slow, gliding motions.
NOTE: Fast,
jerky strokes do
not provide
complete clean
ing.
The hose swivel
allows the hose to
turn without moving
the canister, This is
helpful for cleaning
in small areas.
Check hose for
twisting before
pulling canister
Carpeted stairs need to be vacuumed reg
ularly. For best cleaning results, fully dose
the suction control.
A
Personal Injury Hazard

stairs, if it falls, personal injury or
property damage could result.
For best cleaning results, keep the airflow
passage open. Check each assembiy area
