Operating Instructions
Starting The Machine - Figures 1 & 2
A. Before turning on your canister, make sure that the vacuum han- dle is in its upright locked position (figure 1).
1.With the canister main power switch in the OFF position, and the power control slider on the handle (#8, figure 2) in the OFF position, pull the power cord out from the base of the canister (see canister owner’s manual). The power cord should be unwound from the cable reel at least two thirds of its length.
2.Plug the polarized power cord into a 120 volt outlet located near the floor.
3.Press the main power switch on the base of the canister gently with your foot or hand to the ON position.
4.Slide the Power Control Slider (#8, figure 2) to the ON position (the slider will “click” when it is pushed out of the OFF position). It will then slide freely between 0 suction and MAX suction. Set the slider to the suction desired. The green power light situated on the top side of the power head will illuminate.
Operating The Machine - Figure 3
ON position - Slide the slider down toward 0 suction till it “clicks” out of position.
OFF position - Pull the slider up to 0 suction then continue pulling the slider up until it “clicks” into the OFF position.

B. When the power head is switched on with the handle in the upright locked position (see figure 1 above), the brush roller will not spin. To release the power head from the upright locked position, gently place your foot on the power head for leverage and lower the handle into the operating position (fig- ure 3). The brush roller will then start spinning. The amber indicator light may flicker for a few seconds when you lower the handle - this is normal.
The handle can be lowered to a horizontal position useful for vacuuming under beds.
You may adjust the suction control with the power control slider as you vac- uum different surfaces or when using the accessory tools. For optimal clean- ing and brushing, operate the machine at the maximum suction power set- ting and push the power head slowly over the carpet.
When the canister’s main power switch is in the ON position, you may turn the power head off and on with the power control slider (#8, figure 2). To turn the power head off using the power control slider, pull the slider to 0 suction, then continue pulling the slider up until it “clicks” into the OFF position. The green power head light will then shut off.
Always turn the power off on both the canister and the power head when changing heads or unplugging the vacuum. Slide the power con- trol slider on the power head to its OFF position, press the main power switch on the base of the canister gently with your foot or hand, then unplug the canister to completely shut down the power when changing heads or storing the vacuum. Hold the plug while rewinding the cord onto the cord reel. Avoid letting the plug whip while rewinding.
