SUGGESTED PILE HEIGHT
SETTINGS
Attention: Refer to your carpet
manufacturers cleaning recommendations.
Some more delicate carpets may require
that they be vacuumed with the PowerMate
®
brushroll turned off to prevent carpet damage.
For best deep down cleaning, use the XLO
setting. However, you may need to raise the
height to make some jobs easier, such as
scatter rugs and some deep pile carpets,
and to prevent the vacuum cleaner from
shutting off. Suggested settings are:
HI – Shag, deep pile, super-soft, or
ultraplush carpets, and scatter rugs.
MED – Medium to deep pile.
LO – Low to medium pile.
XLO – The preferred setting for many
carpets and also for bare floors.
NOTE: To protect bare floors, slide the 2-
way On/Off switch to the FLOOR position
to turn off brushroll rotation.
CAUTION
DO NOT leave the PowerMate
®
running in
one spot for any length of time. Damage
to carpet may occur.
CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard
Use care if the PowerMate
®
and wand is
left in the upright position as it may tip
over easily. Property damage can occur if
tipped.

VACUUMING TIPS
SUCTION CONTROL
The suction control allows you
to change vacuum
cleaner
suction for different
fabric and
carpet weights.
• Opening control decreases suction for
lightweight rugs.
• Closing control increases suction for
upholstery and carpets.
• Keep the airflow passage open.
Check each assembly area in REMOVING
CLOGS (page 16) occasionally for clogs.
WARNING: Turn off and unplug vacuum
cleaner from outlet before checking for clogs.
SUGGESTED SWEEPING PATTERN
For best cleaning action, the PowerMate
should be pushed straight away from you
and pulled straight back. At the end of each
pull stroke, the direction of the PowerMate
should be changed to point into the next
section to be cleaned. This pattern should
be continued across the carpet with slow,
gliding motions.
NOTE: Fast,
jerky strokes
do not provide
complete
cleaning.
