The Turbocat is driven by a turbine rather

than electricity and has an agitator which

shakes the carpet to loosen dirt making

vacuuming easier and more efficient.

•Automatic pile height adjustment

•System Performance Indicator--

slows the vacuum down when

airflow is lost which indicates that

dirt is not being picked up.

erhead: To attach your metal wand,

simply twist into Powerhead elbow until it fits snugly. The built-in locking

mechanism will prevent the wand from coming loose from your Powerhead

while in use. To detach wand, use your hand to depress the tab on the side of

the elbow and twist wand free. (See Fig. 1).

The wand can be locked in an upright position by pushing it forward until the

lock is engaged (See Fig. 2). This locked position is convenient for storage and

for lifting the Powerhead. To release wand from the vertical locked position,

gently place foot on Powerhead, grasp wand and pull back firmly.

FIG. 2

Your Turbine Powerhead has no “on/off ” switch. Whenever it is attached to

an operating vacuum system, it will be running. No adjustments to the tool

are necessary for different types of carpeting.
