4 Gently press the floor nozzle down with your foot
while you grasp the handle and tilt it back towards you. (Fig. 12)
NOTE: The rotating brush on the motorized
floor brush will not spin unless the nozzle is flat
against the floor and the handle is tilted back.
5 Due to the huge suction power of this
vacuum, it may become necessary at times to adjust the suction release (d) on the handle. (Fig. 11) If the vacuum seems difficult to push or pull or if it is lifting up area rugs, adjust the suction release by rotating the collar 90° counterclockwise to open the valve. Rotate the collar clockwise to close the valve when you need high suction and for vacuuming floors.
6 Empty dust cup after vacuuming and periodically
during use when it appears full. (See
“Maintenance” section for instructions.)

2 Attach desired accessory onto the end of either
the extension wand or the handle. (Fig. 15)
3 Your vacuum has tremendous suction
power. Adjust the amount of suction with the suction release on the handle. Open the valve (a) by rotating the collar 90˚ counterclockwise for low suction when doing light jobs such as drapes or fine surfaces.

Make sure you are working in a well lit area and use a flashlight to help search for blockages.
Fig. 28
CLEANING THE MOTORIZED FLOOR BRUSH
When your motorized floor brush needs cleaning or locks onto an object, it automatically shuts down to prevent damage to your lifetime belt. The indicator light will illuminate red warning you to turn off the vacuum and clear blockage immediately. The light will reset itself once blockage has been cleared and power has been cycled on/off or vacuum has been locked in the upright position.
1 Detach the motorized floor brush from the
detachable canister.
2 Inspect the opening underneath and the rotating
brush. If a build-up of debris is present, remove it. Carefully cut anything wound around the rotating brush with scissors. Avoid damaging or cutting the bristles. (Fig. 27)
CHECKING FOR BLOCKAGES
Blockages may cause your vacuum to overheat and shut down. To prevent this from happening, check potential blockage areas after heavy use or if you detect a loss of suction or poor cleaning performance.
1 Dust Cup
Dust cup may be full. Empty dust cup.
2 Pre-Motor & Post-Motor Filters
Pre-motor filters require washing every 3 months
for optimum performance. The post-motor HEPA filter needs to be washed every 2 years.
Ensure that all the filters are clean.
