NOTE: Certain types of fine particles like powder, plaster dust,

12. Cleaner Height Setting. The front of the cleaner has an
adjustment that raises or lowers the cleaner base to match the
type of floor surface. With the cleaner cord unplugged, set
the adjustment to lowest setting for maximum carpet cleaning.
If the cleaner is difficult to push, move adjustment to next
highest setting until cleaner is comfortable to push. The brush
roll must reach the carpet for effective cleaning. For ease in
moving the adjustment knob, place handle in operating
position and tilt cleaner back to remove weight from front
wheels.

and all other parts of body away from any moving
part (such as the revolving brush). Turn off the
switch and unplug the cleaner before changing
the cleaner height setting.
