SOME MODELS
The lower wand
has a "U" shaped
flange in the
area where the
power cord
attaches. The
base has a "U"
shaped slot near

the wands and
Power-Mate _ to
be stored with the canister to conserve stor-
age space. The canister must be stored on
end for this feature to be used.
The wand will s_ip out of the slot as it is lifted
up for use and will slide into the slot as it is
lowered for storage.
The Power-Mate e must be in the fiat position
as shown in the illustration. Use the handle
release pedal to place it in this position.

®
Power-Mate on or m the upright
position with the wand fully
extended. Moving the wand to a
