GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualifi ed
electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance.
If it will not fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure 1 below. A temporary adapter illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, tab, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached
to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets.
DO NOT use extension cords more than 50 feet (15 meter) long.

at handle snaps in place.
SET UP AND ASSEMBLY
1. Carefully take out the vacuum cleaner from its carton.
2. Push the Handle (1) into the opening at the top of the Dust
compartment until the button at the rod snaps in place and
secure the handle to the housing.
Never operate the vacuum cleaner without a Dust Bag in
place. These machines are equipped with an "no bag" clip.
This means that if a dust bag not is fi tted or fi tted
uncorrectly - the dust lid (5) would not be able to close.
IMPORTANT !
Foot pedal must be used
to release base to
operating/non operation
position. Failure to do so
could result in damage to
the release mechanism.

On - Off
Release
base
1. Release the power cord from the cord hooks (2) at the backside of
the vacuum cleaner. Turn the lower hook so that the cord is released.
Unwind the whole power cord .
2. Adjust the height of the handle, by pushing at the handle lock button (4)
and then pull or push at handle to comfortable height.
3. Add the cord to the hook of the handle in order to make an anti strain
function. Then plug-in the power cord into a electrical outlet.
4. Turn the Main Power Switch (17) ON. “l” is ON and “O” is OFF. Now
the vacuum motor will start.
5. Step on the Pedal (11) and then tilt the cleaner backwards. Now the
brush motor will start (Dual-versions only). Dual-versions, the green
light (7) at the brush housing (9) will come on to indicate that the brush
motor is running. On single motor versions, the brush is always turning
when on.

IMPORTANT !
Foot pedal must be used to
release base to
operating/non operation
position. Failure to do so
could result in damage to the
release mechanism.
6. Turn the Height Adjustment Knob (10) to adjust the height that the
brush will operate in - depending on the material at the surface to
be vacuumed. For carpets with short textiles the brush should in the
lower position. Turn the knob to the left (when you are placed in front
of the machine) to lower the brush. For carpets with longer textiles the
brush should in a higher position. Turn the knob to the right (when you
are placed in front of the machine) to set the brush at a higher level. If
the red light comes on, slowly turn the knob in the opposite direction
until the light goes off (Dual-version only).
If the red light (8) stays on continuously, there may be debris wrapped
around the brush, during operation. On double motor units, this can
cause the overload protector for the brush motor to trip. If this occurs,
turn the Main Switch (17) OFF and unplug the power cord. Remove any
debris from the brush and plug in the power cord, turn the Main Switch
(17) back ON. This will automatically reset the overload protector. If the
overload protector trips repeatedly contact your dealer for service. For
more information of the light indicators on the Dual-versions - see the
table below.

Whenever (15) “Restricted Airfl ow Light” indicator comes on, check the
following: Is the bag full and needs to be changed or is the tube, hose or
nozzle blocked.
For details of dust bag replacement see separate instruction in this
manual. If the light comes on before the bag is full, the inside of the bag
may be coated with very fi ne dust (change the bag), or debris may be
built up somewhere between the brush and the bag.
