NOZZLE
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 lo-
It is necessary for the nozzle to be
adjusted properly to the various
carpet pile heights. The adjust-
ment lever on the front of the
cleaner may be set on three differ-
ent self-adjusting ranges.
On very dense pile plush or shag
carpet, some difficulty in pushing
the cleaner may occur. In this
case, position the adjustment le-
ver on PLUSH or SHAG.
When cleaning non-carpeted
floors, set adjustment lever to
LOW/MEDIUM and use LOW
SPEED, if available on your
cleaner. Because of the vigorous
action of the agitator, do not
allow cleaner to run in a station-
ary position on any floor cover-
ing, as marring may occur.
Disconnect cleaner from electri-
cal outlet before making nozzle
adjustment.
To change nozzle adjustment
grasp the handle and tilt the
cleaner forward. Move the lever
with your hand until it “clicks” in-
to the desired position.
