symbols on the unit.

top of opening pressing against unit, slide down into place.
5. Bag Change Indicator. The bag change indicator is to
remind you to change the bag. The indicator on the bag
cover moves down the window as the airflow through the
bag decreases.
NOTE: Certain types of fine particles like powder,
plaster dust, or fine road dust can restrict airflow very
quickly. The fine particles will decrease performance
even before the bag appears to be full. Change the
dust bag to restore maximum performance.

9. Light Bulb Compartment. To gain access to light bulb
compartment remove the two screws in the lens.
10. Brush Roll Belt Window. To check condition of belt watch
to see if white dots on belt are moving through the window.
This indicates the brush roll is turning.
11. Screws to release hood. Remove these screws to release
hood and give access to brush roll belt area.
12. Cleaner Height Setting. The front of the cleaner has an
adjustment that raises or lowers the cleaner base to match
the type of floor surface. With the cleaner cord unplugged,
set the adjustment to lowest setting for maximum carpet
cleaning. If the cleaner is difficult to push, move adjustment
to next highest setting until cleaner is comfortable to push.
The brush roll must reach the carpet for effective cleaning.
For ease in moving the adjustment knob, place handle in
operating position and tilt cleaner back to remove weight
from front wheels.
WARNING: Avoid injury. Keep loose clothing, hair,
fingers, and all other parts of body away from any
moving part (such as the revolving brush). Turn off
the switch and unplug the cleaner before changing
the cleaner height setting.
13. Extension Wands. Use these wands on the end of the hose
for added cleaning reach.
