SUCTION CONTROL
Suction Control is a way for
you to adjust suction power
when you are using different
tools or vacuuming different
surfaces. For example, if
you are feeling resistance
while vacuuming thick carpet
or upholstery, opening the
suction control to MIN will help
reduce your push/pull effort.

handle.
3Located at the base of the top handle,
Suction Control offers variable suction
based on your needs. Slide toward MIN to
