How to Adjust for Carpet Height WARNING: To avoid injury, keep loose clothing, hair, fingers and all other parts of body away from any moving parts (such as the beater brush). Turn off the switch and unplug the vacuum before adjusting the vacuum for the carpet height.

The front of the power nozzle has a carpet height adjustment knob that raises and lowers the motorized power head to match the type of carpet. (Fig. 18) With the vacuum NOT connected to the electrical outlet, set the adjustment to the lowest setting for maximum cleaning. If the vacuum is too difficult to push, move the knob to the next highest setting until the vacuum is comfortable to push. The brush roll must reach the carpet for the most effective cleaning.
