TriActive nozzle

The TriActive nozzle is a multi-purpose nozzle for carpets and hard oors.

- The side brushes catch more dust and dirt at the sides of the nozzle and allow you to clean

better along furniture and other obstacles (Fig. 9).

- The opening at the front of the nozzle allows you to suck up larger particles (Fig. 10).

Mini turbo brush (FC8952 only)

The mini turbo brush has been specially designed to effectively pick up animal hairs and uff from

furniture and mattresses. The unique brush inside the mini turbo brush loosens the hairs from the

fabric so that they can be picked up by the vacuum cleaner. The mini turbo brush can be attached to

the handgrip of the hose or to the telescopic tube with the coupling piece supplied.

1 Attach the coupling piece to the mini turbo brush.
