OPERATING THE VACUUM CLEANER

1.Release the power cord from the cord hooks (2) at the backside of the vacuum cleaner. Turn the lower hook so that the cord is released. Unwind the whole power cord .

2.Adjust the height of the handle, by pushing at the handle lock button (4) and then pull or push at handle to comfortable height.

3.Add the cord to the hook and the anti strain clip of the handle in order to make an anti strain function. Then plug-in the power cord into a electrical outlet.

4.Turn the Main Power Switch (17) ON. “l” is ON and “O” is OFF. Now the vacuum motor will start.

5.Step on the Pedal (11) and then tilt the cleaner backwards. Now the brush motor will start (Dual-versions only). Dual-versions, the green light (7)

at the brush housing (9) will come on to indicate that the brush motor is running. On single motor versions, the brush is always turning when on.

IMPORTANT !

Foot pedal must be used to release base to operating/non operation position. Failure to do so could result in damage to the

release mechanism.

6. Turn the Height Adjustment Knob (10) to adjust the height that the brush will operate in - depending on the material at the surface to be vacuumed. For carpets with short textiles the brush should in the lower position. Turn the knob to the left (when you are placed in front of the machine) to lower the brush. For carpets with longer textiles the brush should in a higher position. Turn the knob to the right (when you are placed in front of the machine) to set the brush at a higher level. If the red light comes on, slowly turn the knob in the opposite direction until the light goes off (Dual-version only).

If the red light (8) stays on continuously, there may be debris wrapped around the brush, during operation. On double motor units, this can cause the overload protector for the brush motor to trip. If this occurs, turn the Main Switch (17) OFF and unplug the power cord. Remove any debris from the brush and plug in the power cord, turn the Main Switch

(17)back ON. This will automatically reset the overload protector. If the overload protector trips repeatedly contact your dealer for service. For more information of the light indicators on the Dual-versions - see the table below.

NOTE! Always disconnect the power cord before performing any machine maintenance.

Whenever (15) “Restricted Airflow Light” indicator comes on, check the following: Is the bag full and needs to be changed or is the tube, hose or nozzle blocked.

For details of dust bag replacement see separate instruction in this manual. If the light comes on before the bag is full, the inside of the bag may be coated with very fine dust (change the bag), or debris may be built up somewhere between the brush and the bag.
