IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions in this guide before assembling or using your vacuum cleaner.
Your safety is important to us. To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, injury to persons
or damage when using your vacuum cleaner, follow basic safety precautions including the
following:
1. Use your vacuum cleaner only as described in this guide. Use only with Titan Vacuums
recommended attachments.
2. Disconnect electrical supply before servicing or cleaning out the brush area. Failure to
do so could result in the electrical shock or brush suddenly starting.
3. Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before performing servicing.
4. To reduce the risk of electrical shock - Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
5. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near
children.
6. Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should,
has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped in water, return it to a Titan
Vacuums Service Center.
7. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep cord away
from heated surfaces.
8. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
9. Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
10. Do not put any objects into openings.
11. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may
reduce air ow.
12. Keep hair, loose clothing, ngers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving
parts.
13. Turn off all controls before unplugging.
14. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
15. Do not put on chairs, tables, etc. Keep on oor.
16. Do not use vacuum cleaner to pick up ammable or combustible liquids (gasoline, cleaning
uid, perfumes, etc.), or use in areas where they may be present. The fumes from these
substances can create a re hazard or explosion.
17. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot
ashes.
18. Do not use vacuum cleaner without dust bag and/or lters in place.
19. Always change the dust bag after vacuuming carpet cleaners or freshener, powders, and
ne dust. These products clog the lters, reduce airow and can cause damage to the
vacuum cleaner. Failure to change the dust bag could cause permanent damage to the
vacuum cleaner.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO START
1. Pull the power cord out of the canister to desired length. The cord will not rewind until
the cord rewind button is pushed.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug;
one blade is wider than the other. This plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Moving parts! To reduce the risk of personal injury, DO
NOT touch the agitator when vacuum cleaner is on.
Contacting the agitator while it is rotating can cut, bruise
or cause other injuries. Always turn off and unplug from
electrical outlet before servicing. Use caution when
operating near children or pets.
CAUTION
Personal Injury and Product Damage Hazard
• DO NOT plug in if switch is in ON position. Personal injury or property damage could
result.
• The cord moves rapidly when rewinding. Keep children away and provide a clear path
when rewinding the cord to prevent personal injury.
• DO NOT use outlets above counters. Damage from cord to items in surrounding area
could occur.
• When any abnormality/failure occurs, stop using the product immediately and
disconnect the power plug.

VACUUMING TIPS
For best cleaning action, the motorized nozzle should be pushed straight away from you
and pulled straight back. At the end of each pull stroke, the direction of the nozzle should
be changed to point into the next section to be cleaned. This nozzle should be continued
across the carpet or oor with slow, gliding motions.
The electronic suction control allows you to change the power of the vacuum cleaner
suction motor.
High Power increases suction for upholsteries and carpets.
Low Power decreases suction for draperies and light weight rugs.
NOTE: Fast, random strokes do not provide complete cleaning.
SUGGESTED SWEEPING PATTERN
ELECTRONIC SUCTION CONTROL
DO NOT leave the motorized nozzle running in one spot for any length of time. Damage
to carpet may occur.
CAUTION
NOTE：When this switch is in the HARDFLOOR position the nozzle headlight DOES NOT
function since no electricity ows to the motorized nozzle.
High Power
Low Power

-16-
Carpeted stairs need to be vacuumed regularly. For best cleaning results, adjust the
electronic suction control to high power position.
For best cleaning results, keep the airow passage open. Check each assembly area in
REMOVING CLOGS (page 26) occasionally for clogs. Turn off and unplug the vacuum
cleaner from outlet before checking.
Product Damage Hazard
Use care if the motorized nozzle and wand is left in the upright position as it may tip
over easily. Property damage can occur if tipped.
Personal Injury and Product Damage Hazard
• DO NOT run over power cord with motorized nozzle. Personal injury or product
damage could result.
• DO NOT pull plug from wall by the power cord. If there is damage to the cord or plug,
personal injury or property damage could result.
CAUTION
WARNING
STAIRS
Personal Injury Hazard
Use care if canister is placed on stairs. It may fall, causing personal injury or property
damage.
Product Damage Hazard
Do not pull on the hose to move the canister from one stair to the next. When nished
cleaning in one area use the handle grip on the canister to move the vacuum cleaner to
a new location for further cleaning.
WARNING
CAUTION
The stair hold located on the bottom of the vacuum will aid in preventing the canister from
slipping when used on stairs. During normal operation while the canister is in the horizontal
position, the caster wheel rotates freely 360°.
In order to prevent the canister from slipping on stairs, be sure the STAIR HOLD feature
STAIR HOLD

Active brush edge cleaners are on both sides of the motorized nozzle. Guide either side of
the nozzle along the wall or next to furniture to help remove dirt trapped at carpet edges.
The 360° hose swivel allows the hose to turn without moving the canister. This is helpful for
cleaning in small areas. Check the hose for twisting before pulling the canister.

functions and the canister is resting securely on the stairs when the canister is placed on
residential stairs.
SUGGESTED PILE HEIGHT SETTINGS
For best deep down cleaning, use the XLO setting. However, you may need to raise the
height to make some jobs easier, such as scatter rugs and some deep pile carpets, and to
prevent the vacuum cleaner from shutting off. Suggested settings are:
HI – Shag, deep pile, or scatter rugs.
MED – Medium to deep pile.
LO – Low to medium pile.
XLO – Most carpets and bare oors.
