Floor brush
Push the extension tube onto the hose handle, then t the oor
brush to the extension tube. Alternatively, the oor brush can be
attached directly to the handle if preferred.
Fit the oor brush to the end of
the extension tube.
The selector on the oor brush
allows you to choose the most
appropriate setting for the type
of oor covering.
Height adjustable settings
The brush can be raised or lowered depending on the surface to
be cleaned.
• The brush down position is intended for use on non-carpeted
oors or short bristled carpets.
• The brush up position is intended for general use on all types of
carpet.
NOTE:
The brush down position can be used on carpets with a longer pile
to increase the amount of ‘pick-up’ for ground in dirt, but it also
increases the amount of force required to move the brush head
over the carpet.
