3. Lower wand from upright position by pressing on the handle release pedal.

CAUTION

1. Pull cord out of canister to desired

length.

NOTE: To reduce the risk of electric shock,

this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug; one blade is wider than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

2. Plug the polarized power cord into a 120

Volt outlet located near the floor.

To rewind: Unplug the vacuum cleaner.

Hold the plug while rewinding to prevent damage or injury from the moving cord.

Push cord rewind button.

4. Select a pile height setting by pressing

the small pedal on the rear of the Power-

Mate ®. The pile height setting shows on the indicator. See SUGGESTED PILE HEIGHT

SETTINGS.

Attention:

Refer to your carpet manufac-

turers cleaning recommendations.

Some more delicate carpets may require that they be vacuumed with the Power-Mate ® agitator turned off, to prevent carpet damage.

FLOOR

:ARPE_1

5. Select a switch position on the handle.

OFF

FLOOR - turns on the canister motor only.

CARPET - turns on both the canister and the Power-Mate" motors.

NOTE - When this switch is in the FLOOR position, the headlight DOES NOT function since no electricity flows to the Power-

Mate ®.

Suggested sweeping pattern.

For best cleaning action, the Power-Mate ® should be pushed straight away from you and pulled straight back. At the end of each pull stroke, the direction of the Power-Mate ® 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.

Suction

Control

Carpeted stairs need to be vacuumed regularly. For best cleaning results, fully close the suction control.

For best cleaning results,

keep the

airflow passage open.

Check each

assembly area in HOWYOURVACUUM

CLEANER WORKS

occasionally for

clogs, Unplug from outlet before checking.

WARNING

The hose swivel allows the hose to turn without moving the canister. This is helpful for cleaning in small areas. Check hose for twisting before pulling canister.

CAUTION

Product Damage Hazard

Use care if the Power-Mate ®and wand is

left in the upright position as it may tip over easily. Property damage can occur if tipped.

IbCAUTION

Product Damage Hazard

Do not pull on the hose to move the canister from one stair to the next.

When finished cleaning in one area use the handle grip on the canister to move the vacuum cleaner to a new location for further cleaning.

kWARNING

Personal Injury and

Product

Damage

Hazard

DO NOT run over power cord with

Power-Mate'.

Personal injury or product damage could result.

DO NOT pull plug from wall by

the power cord.

If there is damage to the cord or plug, personal injury or property damage could result.

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, or scatter rugs.

MED - Medium to deep pile.

LO - Low to medium pile.

XLO - Most carpets and bare floors.

kCAUTION

DO NOT attach or remove handle or wands while vacuum cleaner is ON.

This could cause sparking and damage the electrical contacts.

NOTE: When separating wands, depress lock button completely before pulling wands apart, if wand lock button is difficult to depress, push the two wands more tightly together to line up the lock button with the hole. Depress lock button and then pull wands apart.

OVERLOAD PROTECTOR

The Power-Mate ® has built-in

Overload Protector

Reset Button_

protection against motor and belt damage should the agitator jam. If the agitator slows down or stops, the overload protector shuts off the Power-Mate ®. The canister motor will continue to run.

To correct problem:

Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction,

then

press overload protector reset button.

If the problem persists, have the vacuum cleaner serviced by a Sears or other qualified service agent.

WARNING

EDGE CLEANER

Active brush edge cleaners are on both sides of the Power-

Mate ®. Guide either side of the Power-Mate ® along base-boards or next to furniture to help remove dirt trapped at carpet edges.

SUCTION 'CONTROL

The suction control allows

Suction Suction

you to change the vacuum

cleaner suction

for different fabric and carpet weights.

Opening the control decreases suction for draperies and lightweight rugs, while closing the control increases suction for upholsteries and carpets.

11

POWER-MATE ®STORAGE

The lower wand has a "U" shaped flange in the area where the power cord attaches. The base has a "U" shaped slot near the front caster.

The flange allows the

wands and Power-

Mate ®to be stored with the canister to conserve storage space. The canister must be stored on end for this feature to be used.

To attach the Power-

Mate ®, it must be in the flat position as shown in the illustration.

Use the handle release pedal to place it in this position.

The wand will slip out of the slot as it is lifted up for use and will slide into the slot as it is lowered for storage.

THERMAL PROTECTOR

This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector which automatically trips 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.

This allows the motor to cool in order to prevent possible damage to the vacuum cleaner.

To correct problem: Turn the vacuum

cleaner off and unplug the power cord from the outlet to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal protector to reset.

Check for and remove clogs, if necessary.

Also check and replace any clogged filters. Wait approximately thirty

(30) minutes and plug the vacuum cleaner in and turn back on to see if the motor protector has reset.

PERFORMANCE INDICATOR

When the vacuum cleaner is running with normal airflow, the performance indicator shows green or partially green.

The indicator turns red whenever the airflow becomes blocked.

If that occurs, check the disposable dust bag, motor safety filter and other possible clog locations shown in HOW YOUR VACUUM

CLEANER WORKS.

To correct problem: See the TROUBLE-

SHOOTING table.

Note: The performance indicator may turn red when using attachments, due to reduced airflow through the attachment.

The vacuum cleaner creates suction that picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the dirt to the dust bag through the airflow passages. The dust bag lets the air pass through, while it traps the dirt.

For best cleaning results, keep the airflow passage open.

Check the starred areas

occasionally

for clogs.
