Convertible Height Control Help Please

[firebirdman55]

I have a Convertible model 1010. It has the 2 height adjustment. The control only goes back and forth and doesn't move the height at all. I'm not sure how to fix it. it looks complete. the spring and all is there. Anyone have a picture to show how it should work?

Try this.....

In the upright position press down on the handle and you should feel the back wheels push in, then move the lever before letting go of the handle. You should be in the high setting. To release, do in reverse or you may just be able to move the lever to normal.

It's not supposed to control anything by just moving it. When you move it to "high", push downward on the handle (cleaner standing upright with the handle in the upright position) and the rear wheel axle will get hooked onto that hook you see in the first photo. This keeps the rear wheels closer to the main body of the cleaner. By having the wheels a bit higher, it raises the nozzle off of the rug, for a higher pile carpet. When you then move the pedal to "low", the wheels snap back down for a lower pile carpet. Hope that makes sense!
