Manual Suction Control

Your vacuum cleaner includes a manual variable suction control. The suction power can be adjusted by moving the slide regulator to the desired position between Open and Closed. (Fig. 3) Open gives you less suction, closed maximum suction. For example, less suction is required on upholstery and draperies compared to thick carpets, which require maximum suction.

Using the Air Driven Turbo Brush

Warning: To reduce the risk of electric shock, the power cord

must be disconnected before removing the dust bag, HEPA-Type filter,changing the filters or performing maintenance/trouble shooting checks.

1.Change the dust bag frequently.

2.Replace the pre-motor and post motor filters as needed.

3.Ensure that the rotating brush is kept free of hair and string which may accumulate and decrease brush performance.

4.Keep Air Driven Turbo Brush turbine free of dirt and foreign matter. (See illustration below for cleaning instructions.)
