PERFORMANCE FEATURES
EDGE CLEANER
Active brush edge
cleaners are on both
sides of the POWER­
MATE™. Guide either
side of the POWER­
MATE™ along base­
boards or next to
furniture to help
remove dirt trapped at
carpet edges.
OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
The POWER-MATE™ has
built-in protection against
motor and belt damage
should the brush jam. If
the brush slows down or
stops, the overload
protector button pops up
and shuts off the POWER­
MATE™. The canister
motor will continue to run.
To correct problem: See
TROUBLESHOOTING.
To reset: Push in the overload protector
button.

Suction
The suction
control allows
you to change
the vacuum
suction for
different fabric
and carpet weights. Opening the control
decreases suction for draperies and
lightweight rugs, while closing the control
increases suction for upholsteries and
carpets.
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Always unplug the vacuum cleaner
before cleaning the brush area as
brush may suddenly restart. Failure
to do so can result in personal
injury.
CANISTER PERFORMANCE
INDICATOR
SOME MODELS
Canister
Performance
Indicator Light
The light comes on
whenever the air­
flow becomes
blocked, dust bag
needs changing or
canister safety filter
needs cleaning.
NOTE: The light may also come on when
using certain attachments, due to reduced
airflow through attachment.
PERFORMANCE INDICATOR
SOME MODELS
iooll
When the unit is running
the lines in the indicator
windows will be clear if
there are no dogs. When the lines turn
completely red there is a need to check the
dust bag for being full of the other areas
that may be clogged. See HOW YOUR VAC­
UUM WORKS.
NOTE: Red lines may appear when using
attachments or when cleaning new carpet,
due to reduced airflow by the attachments
themselves or new carpet fuzz filling the
bag quickly.
POWER-MATE™ STORAGE
SOME MODELS
The lower wand has a "U" shaped flange in
the area where the power cord attaches.
The base has a “U"
shaped slot near the
front caster.
The flange allows the
wands and POWER­
MATE™ to be stored with
the canister to conserve
storage space. The can­
ister must be stored on
end for this feature to be
used.
The wand will slip out of the slot as it is lift­
ed up for use and will slide into the slot as it
is lowered for storage.
