Warning: Avoid tipping the vacuum or
setting it on furniture, fringed area rugs or
carpeted stairs while you are using the
hose with the attachments. When using
the unit to vacuum floors or with
attachments, set the Carpet to Floor
Selector to the “Floor” position. This will
stop the beater brush from rotating. When
vacuuming carpets, avoid leaving the
vacuum in one place for an extended
period of time, particularly on thick carpet.
How to Start

5. When using the attachments, the
vacuum must be in the upright
position. (Fig. 3)
Caution: Do NOT pull the vacuum
cleaner around the room by the hose as it
could tip over and cause damage. When
using the attachments, do NOT over
extend the hose length when reaching.
Trying to reach beyond the hose reach
