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.
