WARNING

Do not place hands or feet underneath the brush unit at any time. When

using attachments, the agitator continues rotating.

Do not allow the cleaner to remain in just one place for a period as the

agitator may damage the floor surface.

Avoid placing the cleaner on furniture, the fringed area of rugs, deep pile

carpeting, or carpeted stairs. The ideal position for the cleaner when using

attachments is for the unit to be on a level area with the handle in the full

upright position.

TO USE ATTACHMENTS

Tools allow for cleaning surfaces above the floor and for reaching hard to clean

areas. The cleaner is ready for attachment use when handle is in upright position.

Use the hose and attachments for stair cleaning. Clean from bottom to top.

When using cleaning tools, the agitator will continue to rotate.

When using attachments, be careful not to overextend the hose length when

reaching. Trying to reach beyond the hose reach could cause the cleaner to tip

over.

If the dusting brush is being used and more distance is needed, the crevice tool

can be added to the wand, then the dusting brush can be added to the wand.
