where easier pushing effort is desired,
while maintaining good cleaning perfor-
mance.

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) 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 provided on
