Carpet Height Adjustment

WARNING: To avoid injury, keep loose clothing, hair, fingers and all other parts of

body away from any moving part (such as the beater brush). Turn off the switch and unplug the vacuum before adjusting the vacuum for the carpet height.

To select a pile height setting:

1.Turn vacuum cleaner "Off".

2.Select a pile height setting by tilting the vacuum cleaner back until the front wheels are lifted slightly off the floor.

3.Turn the height adjustment knob to the desired setting.

Suggested Pile Height Setting:

You may need to raise the height of the vacuum to make some jobs easier, such as scatter rugs and longer pile carpets. Suggested settings are:

:shag carpet, long pile, plush scatter rugs, tools

: medium to long pile

:short to medium pile

:very low pile, hardwood floors

Place unit in "HIGH" setting when using attachments to prevent possible floor damage.
