Intended for Household Use Only
ASSEMBLING YOUR EDGE POWERHEAD
Before assembling your Edge Electric Powerhead for the first use,
be sure you have all parts.
Cord Management
Wand Connection
WARNING:
Do not plug into electrical supply until
assembly is complete. Failure to do so could
result in electrical shock or injury.
Thumb Saver
Button Lock
1. Insert the wand into the opening located
on the neck of the electric powerhead.
The lower wand button lock will prevent
the wand assembly from detaching from
the Edge while in use.
Adjustable Wand
Wand Release
2. Insert the hose handle into the wand
assembly. Insert the hose wall adapter
into the vacuum inlet valve. If your hose
has a “pigtail”, plug the 120V power
cord into the nearest electrical outlet.
To remove the wand, disconnect the power cord
and step on the wand release pedal, then pull up on
the wand.
Height Adjustment
Neck
Neck Release
Light
WARNING
Always unplug the Edge before cleaning the brush area as brush
may suddenly restart. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
GENERAL OPERATION
The Edge is controlled by pressing the three
position on/off power control switch located on
the hose handle. When the switch is pushed to
the left (I) it turns on the vacuum only. When the
switch is pushed to the right (II) it operates both
the vacuum and the brush roller. The headlight
will operate when the Edge is turned on.
The powerhead has a height adjustment pedal for
various carpet heights. Use the low setting (#1)
for short napped carpets and the highest setting
(#5) for plush carpets. To change the height of
the Edge, simply, apply pressure to the height
adjustment pedal with your toe.
EDGE ATTACHMENTS
Hose Handle Attachments - using the hose with other attachments
If the Edge is attached to the wand, turn cleaner OFF before removing hose
handle from the wand.
To disconnect the hose from the wand:
1.Press the gray “thumb-saver” lock button, then pull on the handle to
disconnect from the wand.
2.Slide attachments firmly on handle as needed.
Wand Assembly Attachments
To remove the powerhead from the wand:
1. Lock wand in the straight up position.
2. Press easy release pedal with foot, located on
the left side, and pull the wand straight up out
of the Edge.
3. Put desired attachments on wand as needed.
CAUTION
Do not attach or remove handle or wands while cleaner is ON.
This could cause sparking and damage the electrical contacts.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
Edge Cleaner
The Edge has built-in channels on both sides that
allow dirt and debris to flow in from the edges freely.
Vacuuming close to baseboards and furniture will
capture dirt trapped at carpet edges.
Channels
Overload Protector
The Edge has built-in protection against motor and belt damage should an
obstruction cause the roller brush to suddenly stop. The overload protector
will activate when the powerhead consumes more power than planned or an
obstruction makes the brush hard to turn. If this occurs:
•Turn off the vacuum and remove hose handle from the wand.
•Remove the object that is preventing the brush from rotating.
•30 - 60 seconds of cool-down time may be required for the circuit breaker to
automatically reset.
•Reconnect the hose handle to the powerhead and proceed to clean.
Suction Control
The suction control allows you to easily change the vacuum suction for different
fabric and carpet weights. Opening the control decreases suction for drapes and
lightweight rugs, while closing the control increases suction for upholsteries and
carpets.
Handle Release Pedal
The handle release pedal allows you to lower the
wand and handle for extended and easier reach
under furniture.
Handle Release
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
WARNING:
Always unplug electrical cord and vacuum hose before servicing and maintaining
the Edge Electric Powerhead. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or
personal injury from cleaner suddenly starting. Always follow all safety precautions
specified when caring for your Edge.
Brush Cleaning
Check the brush roll and brush support areas frequently in order to maintain optimum
efficiency. If hair, string, thread, carpet fiber or lint becomes wound around the brush roll,
remove by unwinding them by hand or carefully cutting with scissors. If buildup becomes
excessive, disconnect the EDGE Powerhead from the wand assembly and follow the Brush
Replacement steps on page 8. Instructions can also be found under the light cover.
Belt Removal and Replacement
The belt should also be checked periodically
to be sure it is in good condition. It should
be replaced if it is stretched, cracked or
broken. If the belt needs replaced, use only
Edge Belt #9204-01.
To remove belt:
1. Remove cover
•Depress Neck Release Pedal and remove
(8) #10 Torx screws, set aside for
reassembly. Note: 3 longer screws are in
front of the brush roller.
•Turn Edge right side up and lift cover
making sure pedals stay secure in
cover housing.
2. Remove secondary cover
•Remove clear plastic neck release lever
and return spring-set aside.
•Remove 3 #10 Torx screws and set
aside
