For best control and ease of maneuverability, always keep one hand on
vacuum cleaner handle while using above-the-floor attachments. The
cleaner will roll easily while the machine is locked in the upright
position and tilted onto its rear wheels
.
After completing above-the-floor cleaning, remove hose and close the
adapter access plug. When closing plug, be certain that all plug edges
are firmly sealed
.
To reduce suction when cleaning curtains and light draperies, open
suction control valve on hose handle
.
Combination dusting brush/upholstery tool : May be attached
directly to the hose handle or wand. Twist slightly to secure. Use the
brush end to clean hard surfaces such as end tables. Reverse the tool
to clean upholstery or fabrics. You may adjust the wings to the contour
of your furniture.
For narrow, hard to reach areas, the crevice nozzle may be used on the
wand or directly on the hose handle .
Slip the handle end of the flexible hose into the flared end of the wand
.
For longer reach, assemble the two lightweight wands as shown . R
