5 Due to the huge suction power of this vacuum, it may become necessary at times to adjust the suction release (c) on the handle. (Fig. 11) If the vacuum seems difficult to push or pull or if it is lifting up area rugs, adjust the suction release by rotating the collar 90° counterclockwise to open the valve. Rotate the collar clockwise to close the valve when you need high suction and for vacuuming floors.
