Warning: Avoid tipping the vacuum or setting it on furniture, fringed area rugs or carpeted stairs while you are using the hose with the attachments. When using the unit to vacuum floors or with attachments, set the Carpet to Floor Selector to the “Floor” position. This will stop the beater brush from rotating.
