3. Place the TurboBrush® Tool or Pet TurboEraser™
Tool (select models only) into its holder from the
front of the vacuum.
Power cord
To store the power cord, wrap cord
around the upper and lower cord wrap
on the side of the vacuum. To release
the power cord, rotate the upper cord
wrap down and gently pull off cord.
Power switch
The power switch is located just below
the carrying handle on the side of the
vacuum. Push the rocker switch “ON”
(I) to vacuum, and “OFF” (O) when
cleaning is complete.
Brush Roll Power
The rotating brush ON/OFF pedal is
located on the foot of the vacuum.
You can use your foot to engage or dis-
engage this pedal (A). When the brush
roll pedal has been engaged, the brush
will start rotating. The brush roll should
be turned on for most carpeted floors.
To turn the brush roll off, disengage the
pedal by pressing on it with your foot.
We recommend turning off the brush
roll for bare floor cleaning to prevent
scatter or for other delicate surfaces.
Edge Suction
To make edge cleaning more conve-
nient, remove the hose from the base
and attach the crevice tool. Insert the
crevice tool into the port on the foot of
the vacuum (B). Suction is now diverted
to the front corner of the vacuum and
you can clean along edges and into
corners. It is recommended you turn off
the brush roll when using this feature.
CAUTION:
Before using your vacuum, make
sure that the dirt container is in
the locked position and that all
filters (pre-motor and post-motor)
are in place. Do not operate your
vacuum without these filters.
Tip:
Your vacuum features a quick-
release cord wrap. To remove the
power cord quickly and easily,
rotate the upper cord wrap towards
the floor, and slip the cord off.
Tip:
Do not use extension wand when
using the Edge Suction Feature.
