Floor surface selector
Carpet or rug cleaning
When using the power nozzle for carpet
and rug cleaning, push the floor surface
selector button toward “RUG” (C). This
setting provides the suction and agitator
action necessary to deep clean carpets.
The nozzle adjusts automatically to vari-
ous carpet pile heights.

Handle positions
The handle has two positions when used
with the power nozzle: upright and
operating.
To lower handle to operating position,
place your foot firmly on the power noz-
zle and pull handle back.
Check bag indicator
The indicator will begin to show red as
bag fills with dirt. There are three condi-
tions that will cause the indicator to
become completely red:
1. The bag is full; change the bag.
2. Very fine materials (such as powder)
have been picked up, clogging the bag
pores; change the bag, even if it is not full.
3. There is a blockage in the nozzle, hose,
tools, or at the bag opening; remove the
blockage.
ON-OFF switches
After assembling cleaner, plug cord into
electrical outlet. Turn cleaner on by
depressing ON-OFF pedal (A). To turn
cleaner off, depress pedal again.
Note: Pedal opposite ON-OFF pedal is
Cord Rewind Pedal (B).

Polarized plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way.

Hard surface floor cleaning
The power nozzle can be used for
cleaning hard surface floors such as
wood, linoleum, vinyl, asphalt and rub-
ber tile, sealed cork, concrete and ter-
razzo, as well as carpet.
To set the power nozzle for hard surface
floor cleaning, push the floor surface
selector button toward “BARE” (D). This
setting provides suction and no agitator
action. If you prefer, you may use the
hard floor tool to clean bare floors.
You will find it particularly convenient
when cleaning lightweight area rugs to
set the floor surface selector button on
“BARE” and continue cleaning the sur-
rounding floor surfaces.
Note : The headlight will be ON in both
the “RUG” and “BARE” floor surface
modes
