ently. One of them may be used for a cleaning task or the two may be used

alternately by changing the cord from one cleaner to the other. The hand-

held cleaner may be stored in the front of the upright cleaner, and the

tools may be stored on the back of the upright cleaner, to allow the user

convenient tool access while cleaning carpet.

NOTE: The cord is designed to fit both cleaners and can be quickly

changed from one cleaner to the other.

tion while the cleaner is stationary

may mar the floor covering.

Variable speed

models

Some cleaners are equipped with

electronic speed control.

The speed control is energized to

the middle speed setting (3 lights

plugged into the electrical outlet.

The speed setting may be in-

creased or decreased at this time

or while the cleaner is in use.

On the electronic control module,

minimum cleaner speed is indi-

cated by one light "ON" and maxi-

mum speed by all lights "ON".

Speeds increase and decrease

from one setting to another at a

constant rate while the buttons

are depressed.
