If the power nozzle is difficult to

push, open the Suction Regula-

tor.

ed on the right side of the nozzle

parallel to the edge of the carpet or

furniture for brushed edge clean-

ing.

vided on the left side of the nozzle

to remove surface dust and litter.

Guide the left side of the nozzle

parallel to the edge of the carpet

for standard edge cleaning.

Regulator is closed; check bag for fullness and make sure folds are open;

cleaner ON, and feeling end of hose for suction

remove any obstruc-

tions; check wands for obstructions by connecting wands to hose, remov-

ing power nozzle from wands, turning cleaner ON and feeling end of

wands for suction

remove any obstructions. If loss of suction power still

trical outlet and disconnect

connector down to lowest posi-

tion.
