Operating/Maintenance Tips
Q
HOW DO I VACUUM MY UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE?
A
1.Convert to a canister. (See page 16.) (Do not use Power Nozzle  25 on furniture.)
2. Use the Attachment Hose with or without the following attachments:
• the Upholstery Nozzle.
• the Crevice Tool with the brush removed. (Use in between seat cushions and in crevices.)
• the optional Zippbrush.
The optional Zippbrush uses rotating brushes to agitate fibers and remove imbedded dirt and pet
hair from the fabric. When using the Zippbrush, move it slowly from side to side across surface.
Do not apply heavy pressure as it will slow the brush action. (If the brush becomes jammed and
stops turning, simply rotate the inner rotating brush clockwise to free it up and let go. It should
then resume turning.)
To clean hard-to-reach upholstery buttons, use narrow tip of the Zippbrush, located on the side
opposite the hose, to work the dirt loose. (For additional information on the use and maintenance
of the optional Zippbrush, see the Zippbrush section on page 39).
Q
HOW DO I CLEAN MY WALLS AND CEILING?
A
1. Convert to a canister. (See page 16.)
2. Attach one or two Extension Tubes to the Attachment Hose by inserting the hose into the
Extension Tube opening and twisting to lock in place.
3. Attach the Suction Control Grip onto the end of the Extension Tube.
4. Attach the Wall & Ceiling Brush to the end of the Suction Control Grip. The Suction
Control Grip not only allows you to regulate airflow, it also allows you to adjust the Wall
& Ceiling Brush to the proper angles for mantles, window ledges, walls and ceilings.
Q
HOW DO I CLEAN MY CAR?

Your Sentria® system comes equipped with a range of tools to help you clean your car.
In addition, you may also use the optional Zippbrush for vacuuming automobile upholstery,
carpeting, floor mats and trunks. (See Zippbrush section on page 39 for Zippbrush use and
maintenance information.)
1. Convert to a canister. (See page 16.)
2. You can use the end of the Attachment Hose for straight suction or attach any one of
a variety of tools.
3. We suggest using the Upholstery Nozzle (or optional Zippbrush) to clean the seats, areas
under the seats and the trunk.
4. Use the Crevice Tool (with or without the small Crevice Tool brush end) for small,
hard-to-reach areas, such as the area between the windshield and dash and the area
between the seats.
5. Use the Duster Brush to clean the instrument panel.
6. Use the Utility Tool to pick up gravel and heavy particles on floor mats and carpeting.
