including the following:
WARNING
❏
READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE ASSEMBLING OR USING YOUR VACUUM CLEANER.
❏
Use your vacuum cleaner only as described in this manual. Use only with supplied attachments.
❏
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

electric shock or brush suddenly starting.
❏
Always turn vacuum cleaner off before connecting or disconnecting the hose.
❏
Always turn vacuum cleaner off before unplugging.
❏
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
❏
Do not use with damaged cord or plug.
If the vacuum cleaner is not working properly due to the unit being dropped, damaged, left outdoors or
submerged in water do not use.
❏
Do not pull or carry the vacuum using the cord. Do not allow the cord to be caught underneath the vacuum

reach areas.
Use the crevice tool for hard to reach places
such as tight corners and base boards.
Using the Pet hair tool
The Pet hair tool attaches to the wand like the
other attachments. It features a turbine-
powered agitator to provide extra cleaning
power on carpets and fabrics. It is great for
cleaning stairs, cushions, and vehicle
upholstery.
When using the Pet hair tool, check frequently
for the buildup of hair, fibers, lint, and other
debris in the brush area.
Excessive buildup can reduce performance
and could damage the Pet hair tool. See the
Care and Cleaning section for cleaning
instructions.
Stairways and Landings

-15-
Agitator Motor Overload
Protection
The agitator has a built-in protection against
motor damage should the agitator jam. If the
agitator slows down or stops, the agitator
overload protector shuts off the agitator motor.
The suction motor will remain on at this time.
To correct problem: Turn off and unplug
vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, and
press the reset button.
Thermal Overload Protection
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal overload
protector which automatically activates to
protect the vacuum cleaner from overheating.
If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the
motor, the thermal protector turns the motor
off automatically to allow the motor to cool in
order to prevent possible damage to the
vacuum cleaner.
To correct the problem: Turn the vacuum
cleaner off and unplug the power cord. Check
for and remove clogs, if necessary. Also
check and clean any dirty filters.
Wait approximately 30 minutes and plug the
vacuum cleaner in and turn back on to see if
the motor protector has reset. The thermal
protector system will not reset until the
vacuum cleaner has completely cooled down.
-16-

cord hanger, as shown. Store the crevice tool
in their proper places on the back of the
