Kirby Sentria Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
Getting Started
MOVING YOUR SYSTEM
Your Sentria system is equipped with Tech Drive
®
power
assist. In order to push your unit with the motor OFF, the
Tech Drive Pedal (11) must be turned OFF (disengaged).
Turn Tech Drive power assist OFF by pushing down on the
gray "N" side (marked "N" for Neutral) of the Tech Drive N/
D Pedal. (See page 8 for additional information.)
CARRYING YOUR SYSTEM
NOTE: The Carrying Grip (18) is designed for convenience in
carrying your Sentria system.
HANDLE TILT LATCH LOCK
The Handle Tilt Latch Lock (10) serves two purposes:
1
To allow you to lift the front of the Sentria system over
door thresholds or throw rugs. To do so, move the Tilt
Latch Lock towards the bag. By doing this, the handle
will only lower part way. This allows you to push down on the
locked handle and lift the front of the unit. >
2
To allow you to store your Sentria system in a
vertical position or carry it.
To do this, lower the handle to a horizontal position near the
floor. While pushing the handle down, move the Tilt Latch
Lock away from the bag to lock the handle down. You can
now stand the unit up onto its bumper and lean it against a
wall for storage.
This vertical position may also be useful in carrying the unit.
To lift the unit, use the Carrying Grip (18). •
TOE-TOUCH CONTROL
The Toe-Touch Control (8), (9), located over the front
wheel, raises and lowers the front of your Sentria system.
Step down on the Toe-Touch Control Bottom Pedal (9) to raise
the front.
/!\ CAUTION:
Never unlock the Handle Tilt Latch without holding on to the handle. The
handle is spring-loaded and could quickly pivot upward when unlatched.
