VACUUMING TIPS
Suggested sweeping pattern.
For best cleaning action, the Power-Mate®
should be pushed straight away 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, glid­
ing 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 tor cleaning
in small areas.
Check hose for
twisting before
pulling canister
Carpeted stairs need to be vacuumed reg­
ularly. For best cleaning results, fully close
the suction control,
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Use care if canister is placed on
stairs. If it fails, personal injury or
property damage could result.
For best cleaning results, keep the airflow
passage open. Check each assembly area
in HOW YOUR VACUUM WORKS occasion­
ally for clogs Unplug from outlet before
checking.
CAUTION
To prevent tip over, never leave
Power-Mate® on or in the upright
position.Turning the handle to one
side will make the Power-Mate® more
stable and less likely to tip over.

shutting off Suggested settings are:
HI “ Shag, deep pile, or scatter rugs
MED - Medium to deep pile.
LO ~ Low to medium pile.
XLO “ Most carpets and bare floors.
