Eureka 5180 Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
NOTE: Never lift the cleaner by the control grip. Place the handle in the upright position before rolling the machine from
room to room. The selector button must be locked into the manual position when the power switch is turned OFF or
when rolling the machine. Moving the machine with the power switch OFF and the Self-Propelled position
engaged may damage the machine.
Electronic Power Selector
(On Selected Models only)
The Electronic Power Selector regulates the suction power of
the cleaner. The Power Selector slide moves from minimum to
maximum power to adjust the amount of cleaning power. The
power increases as the slide is pushed upward. Locate the slide
on the front portion of the machine. Select toward the minimum
end of the slide for average and light cleaning tasks. The
maximum position provides the most power for getting deep down
carpet dirt. The proper selector setting depends on individual
cleaning needs.

HOW TO USE THE SELF-PROPELLED VACUUM CLEANER
The upright vacuum cleaner is designed to be used on multiple types of carpeting. Do not attempt to use the upright
vacuum cleaner on bare floors, as damage to the floor covering may result. When using the attachment tools, place the
handle in the upright position. Do not place cleaner on furniture or steps as the brush roll may cause damage.
A carpet should be cleaned regularly over heavily travelled areas, and once a week over the entire carpeted area. Make
several passes (forward and back) over the carpet, covering small areas at a time. The time required to clean the carpet will
depend on several factors — including type of carpet and amount of dirt.
Self-Propelled Selector
Push the grip slightly forward or backward to position the red
selector button to the manual notch, then push red button into
the manual lock. Use the manual position for (1) storage, (2)
rolling the machine from room to room, and (3) greater control
around delicate furniture or on throw rugs.
Push the red selector button into the narrow slot to use the
Self-Propelled feature (automatic forward and backward).
