SUCTION RELEASE
COLLAR
Due to the huge suction
power of this vacuum, it may
become necessary at times
to adjust the suction release
collar on the handle. If the
vacuum seems difficult to
push or pull, if it is lifting up
area rugs or when cleaning
delicate above-floor surfaces
such as drapes, reduce the
suction by rotating the collar
counterclockwise to open
the valve. Rotate the collar
clockwise to close the valve
when you need high suction
and for vacuuming floors and
when using the Air-Driven Pet
Brush.
CLEAN ABOVE THE FLOOR IN
UPRIGHT VAC OR PORTABLE LIFT-
AWAY® MODE
1 Press the handle release button and pull
the handle up, or press the extension
wand release button and pull the extension
wand up.
2 Attach desired accessory onto the end of
either the extension wand or the handle.
3 Press the On/Off switch to the “I” position
for above-floor cleaning.
NOTE: Ensure vacuum is in upright position.
DO NOT use position “II” when cleaning
above the floor in the upright vac mode as
this will engage the brushroll. The brushroll
may damage your floor if run for a prolonged
period of time in one area.
