Suction Control Grip to the Extension Tube and then connect the Upholstery Nozzle (with
the faceplate attached). Test the air-flow by regulating the Suction Control Valve on the
Suction Control Grip before you dust your drapes and blinds.

from pulling the drapes off the curtain rods.

Nozzle. If using the Suction Control Grip, make sure to completely close the Suction Control
Valve to maintain maximum airflow.
Q WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY BAG SMELLS?
A Change it. Replace the bag when the dirt reaches the fill line. Do not overfill. Once the bag
is changed, roll your Ultimate G to an open area, put it in Neutral and turn it ON. Let it run in
Neutral for five minutes with the clean bag installed.
