Upright
Handle adjustments
The handle has three positions: Up-
right for storage and when using
attachments. Operating for general
operation on carpet and floors. Low
for reaching under low furniture.
Adjustment for carpet pile height
The cleaning of carpet and rugs takes
place at the nozzle. This is the opening
at the bottom of the cleaner where the
agitator is located.
It is necessary to raise and lower the
nozzle for various carpet pile heights.
The four positions are Low, Normal,
High and Shag.
Select the proper nozzle adjustment
by tilting the cleaner forward and
adjusting the lever until it “clicks”
into position.
For best results the lever is conven-
iently adjusted by hand.
Select the adjustment for the carpet pile height according to the chart below.
