What is the purpose of the zipties? To allow the vacuum to slide nicely over the carpet?

I think so. I haven't used a vacuum like that, but I think the suction causes it to stick to the carpet. The zip ties are slick and allow airflow under the nozzle, so it can be pushed without sticking to the carpet.
