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-

cated.

It is necessary to raise and lower

the nozzle for various carpet pile

heights. The adjustment lever

raises and lowers the nozzle for

various carpet pile and is located

to the right of the bag near the

bottom of the cleaner.

When selecting the desired

adjustment for carpet pile height,

the indicator will be in the loca-

tion of the adjustment lever.

You can most easily make nozzle

adjustments if you move the lever

UPWARDS with your toe until

the lever "clicks" into the desired

position. Therefore, when a

downward adjustment is requir-

ed, first press the lever all the

way down into the SHAG posi-

tion and then move upward one

position at a time.

Select the adjustmentfor the carpet pile height according to the chart below.

Low for low pile and kitchen carpet

Normal for carpet with normal pile height and for removing loose dirt

from hard surface floors

High for carpet with normal pile height but thicker density; if th'lr"

cleaner is difficult to push at "Normal", move the lever to the

"High" position.

Shag for very long or shag pile carpet

Note: If the "Low" setting is used when cleaning normal or shag pile carpet,

there is an increase in the belt load and pushing effort is greatly increased.

Cleaning lightweight

flexible rugs

Lightweight flexible rugs used on

hard surface floors in entrances,

bathrooms, etc. should be clean-

ed by the following method.

Stand on one end of the rug and move the cleaner toward the other end

or edge. Before reaching the other end, push down on the handle. This

will lift up the nozzle (front of cleaner) and will prevent the rug from

clinging to the cleaner. Continue to lift up the nozzle so that when you

have reached the edge, it is completely off the rug. Move the cleaner back

to start again and lower the nozzle, using only forward strokes.

Special features

Carrying handle

Your cleaner has a convenient

carrying handle located on the

underside of the handle bail.

Edge cleaning

This feature improves the cleaning

of carpet edges near baseboards

and solid furniture. Dust and lint

tend to collect along these edges.

The cleaner bottom plate has been

designed with a passageway for

dirt to enter the nozzle from the

side to increase cleaning ability of

edges. From the right or left side,

slowly guide the cleaner parallel to

the edge of the carpet.
