If the cleaner has additional height settings, they are for thicker carpets or where easier pushing is desired.
Adjust the vacuum cleaner height setting to match the carpet pile height. Refer to the following chart of recommended settings for carpet types.
The front of the cleaner has either a knob or slide adjustment which raises or lowers the cleaner base to match the type of carpet. With the cleaner cord unplugged, set the adjustment according to the table as a starting point. While the cleaner is off and disconnected from the outlet, place the handle in the operating position, tilt the cleaner back to remove the weight from the wheels, and adjust the setting. Then plug the cleaner into the electrical outlet, turn on the switch, lower the handle, and pass the cleaner over the carpet. If the cleaner is still difficult to push, follow the procedure and test the cleaner at the next higher setting. Continue testing the setting until the cleaner is comfortable to move.

HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls, check the bag, belt and brush roll often.
Cleaner Care
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before cleaning unit.
To keep the vacuum cleaner looking new, it can be wiped with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then thoroughly dried. Never use any type of chemical as chemicals can damage the cleaner. When not in use, the cleaner should be stored in a clean, dry place.
Disposable Dust Bags
Paper bags play a very important role in the efficiency of a vacuum cleaner. The purpose of a paper bag is to trap dirt. But at the same time the bag must be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the paper bag becomes clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place, regardless of how powerful the unit is. Change the dust bag frequently. Some fine particles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag appears to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, the bag may need to be changed more often.
How To Change Disposable Dust Bag – Style F & G
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before changing dust bag. Never operate the vacuum cleaner without the dust bag.
Brush Roll Belt
The brush roll belt on the upright vacuum cleaner drives the brush to agitate, sweep, and comb the carpet nap. The belt should be checked regularly to be sure it is in good condition. Replace the belt if it is stretching, cracking, or slipping. Cut away any hair or thread wound around the brush roll or the belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate unevenly.
How To Replace A Worn Belt
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before replacing belt. Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent injury, avoid touching the belt pulley when servicing the drive belt.
IMPORTANT: Improper installation of the brush roll or brush roll belt could cause carpet or cleaner damage.
