To prevent tip over, never leave
Power-Mate e on or in the upright
position.Turning the handle to one
side will make the Power-Mate s more
stable and less likely to tip over.
For best deep down cleaning, use the XLO
setting.. However, you may need to raise the
height to make some jobs easier, such as
scatter rugs and some deep pile carpets,
and to prevent the vacuum cleaner from
shutting off Suggested settings are:
HI - Shag, deep pile, or scatter rugs
MED - Medium to deep pile,
LO - Low to medium pile,
XLO - Most carpets and bare floors,
