•Insert the edge of a flat edge screw driver into the locking tab on the headlight lens and pull the handle of the screw driver towards you. Do NOT push with the blade of the screw driver against the lens because it might cause it to break.

•Make sure that it snaps in place.

Note: Always replace the light bulb with the same or smaller wattage size (12V 4W) to prevent damage to the surrounding parts.

Important: This unit is equipped with a motor protective thermostat. If for some reason the vacuum cleaner should overheat, the thermostat will automatically turn the unit off. Should this occur:

•Push the On/Off button once.

•Disconnect the plug from the power source.

•Check the source of overheating problem. (i.e. clogged hose or filter)

•If clogged hose or filter is found, unclog the hose and replace the filters.

•Wait at least 45 minutes before attempting to reuse the vacuum.

•After unit has cooled down for

45 minutes, plug in the cleaner and push the On/Off button. The vacuum should start again.

•If the vacuum still does not start, contact customer service at 1-800-798-7398.

Using the Attachments

Warning:

•Always turn vacuum "Off" before attaching the accessories.

•Do NOT place hands or feet underneath the agitator brush at any time. When using the attachments, the agitator brush continues to rotate.

•Do NOT allow the vacuum cleaner to remain in just one place for a long period of time as the agitator may damage the floor surface.

•NEVER place the vacuum cleaner on furniture, the fringed area of rugs, deep pile carpeting or carpeted stairs. The ideal position for the vacuum cleaner when using any attachment is for the unit to be on a level surface with the handle in the upright position and the carpet height adjustment knob in HIGH.

2.Make sure that the vacuum cleaner is NOT plugged into the electrical outlet.

3.Turn the carpet adjustment knob to the high pile position.
