TO CONNECT AND REMOVE HOSE
To connect hose, insert hose into opening of cleaner
lining up the arrow on the hose with the dot on the
cleaner. Turn the hose clockwise until it lines up
with the bar on the cleaner and latch locks into
place.
When the hose is attached properly, the hose cord
plug will reach to the receptacle on the cleaner.
Insert the plug firmly and as deep into the
receptacle as possible.
To disconnect hose, depress latch away from hose
connection opening in cleaner. While holding latch,
turn the hose counterclockwise until the arrow
lines up with dot on the cleaner.
HOW TO CONNECT THE
‘POWERMATIC’ NOZZLE
1. Attach Powcrmatic nozzle to the end of the ex-
tension wand. Be sure the nozzle is locked in place.
To release, press down on the center of the white
plastic spring latch and remove nozzle.
2. Position cord in cord clips on extension wands.
3. To attach the hose and extension wands, rotate
the plastic latch ring to accept the button projec-
tion on the extension wands.
Push the handle over the wand so that the button
projection fits into the slot. Turn the outer ring on
the handle to lock the handle and wand in place.

HOW TO USE
HANDLE ADJUSTMENTS
The handle has two positions when used with the
power nozzle: Storage and Low. Step on the Han-
dle Adjustment Latch to lower the handle. Use the
low position for reaching under low furniture.
Raise the handle straight up for the storage position.
CARPET AND RUG CLEANING
When using the power nozzle for carpet and rug
cleaning, push the Surface Selector Lever with your
tow to the “Carpet” setting. The Selector Indicator
should show the lever on the “Carpet” position.
AUTOMATIC NOZZLE ADJUSTMENT
The power nozzle adjusts automatically to the cor-
rect cleaning height for all carpets from low pile to
shag. It is suggested that you use the power nozzle
with the Suction Regulator closed for full suction.
If the power nozzle is difficult to push, open the
Suction Regulator.

FOR HARD SURFACE
FLOOR CLEANING
The power nozzle can be used for cleaning hard sur-
face floors such as wood, linoleum, vinyl, asphalt
and rubber tile, sealed cork, concrete and terrazzo
as well as carpet. You will find it particularly con-
venient when cleaning rugs to adjust the power noz-
zle to “Bare Floor” and continue cleaning the sur-
rounding floor surfaces. The small front wheels on
the bottom of the power nozzle provide the proper
nozzle height for hard surface floors. The brush
located directly behind the nozzle opening helps to
provide effective cleaning of hard surface floors.
Adjust the Surface Selector with your toe to the
“Bare Floor” setting. The Selector Indicator should
show the lever on the “Bare Floor” position. As
you move from the rug surface and begin to clean
the floor, you will hear an increase in sound as the
agitator brushes power sweep the floor. If you pre-
fer you may use the Wall/Floor Brush to clean hard
surface floors. The power nozzle is not recom-
mended for very irregular floor surfaces such as
brick, slate and certain parquet floors. To clean
these floors use the Wall/Floor Brush.
