Cleaning lightweight
flexible rugs
Stand on one end of rug and move
cleaner toward other end or edge.
Before reaching edge, push down
on handle. This will lift up the nozzle
(front of cleaner) as shown and will
prevent rug from clinging to cleaner.
Continue to lift up nozzle so that
when you have reached the edge, it
is completely off the rug. Move
cleaner back to start again, lower
nozzle, and use only forward
strokes.

Edge cleaning
Special edge groomers are provid-
ed on both sides of the nozzle to
remove dirt in carpet near base-
boards and furniture.
Guide either side of nozzle parallel
to edge of carpet or furniture.
Stair cleaning
A stair cleaning handle has been
designed for ease in using your
cleaner on stairs. With handle in
operating position, place fingers
under edge of stair cleaning handle
and guide cleaner with other hand
on upper handle.
As an alternative, you may use the
hose and powered hand tool or fur-
niture nozzle for stair cleaning.
Clean from bottom to top.
When using cleaning tools, the
agitator will continue to rotate.
CAUTION: To avoid personal
injury or unnecessary wear to car-
pet, and to prevent the cleaner
from falling, always place it at
bottom of stairs.
How to attach tool
cover
The tool cover is designed with a
“break-away” feature which allows it
to snap free if it is pushed open too
far.
To reattach, align hinges of cover
with slots on sides of tool storage
area.
Push cover down to secure in place.
Cleaning tools
Tools allow for cleaning surfaces
above the floor and for reaching
hard to clean areas.
The cleaner is ready for tool use
when handle is in upright posi-
tion.
CAUTION: Agitator continues to
rotate while cleaner handle is in
upright position. Avoid tipping
cleaner or setting it on furniture,
fringed area rugs or carpeted
stairs during tool use.
Removing hose
When using cleaning tools, cleaner
handle should be in the upright
position.
Also, turn cleaner OFF
before disconnecting and con-
necting hose to hose tube (A).
To use hose, lift hose end as shown.
Lower cover (B) onto hose tube.
