Automatic Carpet Height Adjustment
Your SupraLite vacuum is designed with an automatic, 
self-adjusting nozzle. No manual adjustments are 
required. The height of the nozzle is instantly and 
automatically adjusted to the flooring surface. This self-
adjusting feature allows the nozzle to float evenly over 
all flooring surfaces.
Bare Floor Cleaning - Models RSL4, RSL5 
and RSL5C
The RSL4, RSL5 and RSL5C models come equipped 
with a squeegee on the bottom of the vacuum to 
improve its effectiveness in cleaning bare floors. 
When cleaning tile, hardwood, linoleum, etc., 
use the on setting, as opposed to the maximum 
power setting, for best results. (See figure 13)
