place at the nozzle (C).
When it is necessary to raise and lower the
nozzle for various carpet pile heights, slide
the nozzle control knob (D) to the desired
setting.
Handle position
For ease in sliding knob, place handle in
the upright position and tilt cleaner
backward.
Settings
For maximum cleaning performance,
the following carpet height settings are
recommended.
Lowest setting: for bare floors and all
types of carpet
Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push,
slide knob to the next higher setting.
Higher settings: for very deep pile carpet
where easier pushing effort is desired,
while maintaining good cleaning perfor-
mance.

nozzle so that when you have reached
the edge, it is completely off the rug.
Move cleaner back to start again, lower
nozzle, and use only forward strokes.
Edge cleaning
Special edge groomers are provided on
both sides of the nozzle to remove dirt in
carpet near baseboards and furniture.
Guide either side of nozzle parallel to
edge of carpet or furniture.
