Kirby Sentria - Manual (Page 16)

CAUTION: To reduce risk of injury in the portable mode, keep hair and loose clothing
away from the Sentria system while in operation.
Also make sure Tech Drive® pedal is in the neutral position when vacuuming stairs and mattresses.
In addition, the Brush Roll should be disengaged when vacuuming mattresses.
Upright & Portable Cleaner
CARPETED STAIRS
Place your Sentria® system on one of the carpeted steps, while supporting
the rear. Turn the unit on after it is in place and make sure the Tech Drive ®
pedal is in the Neutral position.
Roll the cleaner back and forth so that the Brush Roll agitates the
carpeting and loosens the dirt. ❏
MATTRESS CLEANING
Cleaning mattress surfaces is done the same as carpeted stairs, except
that you need to disengage the Brush Roll. (If your mattress has tufted
buttons on the surface, the Brush Roll could pull them loose.)
NOTE: Do not carry the portable unit with the motor on. Place the unit
on the surface you wish to clean and then turn the unit on. Turn the unit
off to move it to a new location.
For straight suction cleaning, raise the Headlight Hood  21 and flip out
the handle on the Belt Lifter  20 . Use it to turn the Belt Lifter all the
way to the left (counter-clockwise) until the red arrows line up. This
will stop the Brush Roll from turning.
Return the handle on the Belt Lifter to its closed position and lower the
Headlight Hood. Use the Toe-Touch Control to adjust the Power Nozzle
to its lowest setting. ❏
