Starting The Machine
and Suction Control - Figures 1, 2, 8, 9,
10a & 10b
Before turning on your canister, make sure that the vacuum handle is in its upright
locked position (figure 8).
1. With the canister main power control knob (9) in the OFF position, and the power
c
ontrol slider on the handle (#2, figure 9) in the OFF position, pull the power cord
out from the base of the canister (figure 1). The power cord should be unwound from
the cable reel at least two thirds of its length. Note: do not over-extend the cord.
2. Plug the polarized power cord into a 120 volt wall outlet located near the floor.
3. Press the main power control knob (9) on the base of the canister gently with your
foot or hand. The green light (10) will illuminate indicating that the power is on
(figure 2).
4. Slide the Power Control Slider (2) to the ON position (the slider will “click” when it
is pushed out of the OFF position). It will then slide freely between 0 suction and
MAX suction. Set the slider to the suction desired. Release the foot pedal (#41,
figure 10a) on the ET-1 or ET-2 power head or, for the ET-H power head, lower the
handle (figure 10b).
0 = Zero Suction
MAX = Maximum Suction
ON position - Slide the slider down toward
0 suction till it “clicks” out of position.
OFF position - Pull the slider up to 0 suc-
tion then continue pulling the slider up
until it “clicks” into the OFF position.
Operating The Machine
- Figures 10a & 10b
When the power head is on with the handle in the upright locked position (see
figure 8 above), the brush roller will not spin.
To release the ET-1 or ET-2 power head from the upright locked position, press
down on the foot pedal (#41, figure 10a) and lower the handle into the normal
operating position and push the button on the top of the power head (#40, fig-
ure 8) to engage the brush roller. The green light on the power head will illumi-
nate.
To release the ET-H power head from the upright locked position, gently place
your foot on the power head for leverage and lower the handle into the operat-
ing position (figure 10b). The brush roller will then start spinning. The amber
indicator light may flicker for a few seconds when you lower the handle - this is
normal.
The handle can be lowered to a horizontal position useful for vacuuming under
beds.
You may adjust the suction control with the power control slider (2) as you vac-
uum different surfaces or when using the accessory tools. For optimal cleaning
and brushing, operate the machine at the maximum suction power setting and
push the power head slowly over the carpet.
When the canister’s main power control knob is in the ON position, you may turn
the power head off and on with the power control slider (2). To turn the power
head off using the power control slider, pull the slider to 0 suction, then contin-
ue pulling the slider up until it “clicks” into the OFF position. The green power
head light will then shut off (the green light on the canister (10) will remain illu-
minated until the vacuum is powered off using the main power control knob).
Always turn the power off on both the canister and the power head when
changing heads or unplugging the vacuum. Slide the power control slider on
the power head to its OFF position, press the power control knob on the base of
the canister (9) gently with your foot or hand, then unplug the canister to com-
pletely shut down the power when changing heads or storing the vacuum.
To retract the cord, switch the vacuum off, unplug it from the outlet, then gen-
tly pull on the cord near the plug recess (22) and the mechanism will automat-
ically rewind. Before rewinding the cable, always switch off and unplug the vac-
uum. Hold the plug while rewinding the cord onto the cord reel. Avoid letting the
plug whip while rewinding.
