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.

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.

Pile height adjustment indicator

The indicator for the selected carpet pile height is at location of the adjustment lever, Fig. 1, or shown in the window on top of the cleaner hood, Fig. 2.

Select the adjustment for 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

i H i g h for carpet with normal pile height but thicker density; if the 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 on a higher pile carpet, there is an in- crease in the belt load and pushing effort is greatly increased.
