MAINTENANCE INVERTED BAG SYSTEMS:
Inverted bag units provide a permanent filter and require occasional cleaning.
To clean the inverted bag units, follow these steps:
1. Remove the dirt canister by supporting the bottom canister with your knee*.
Then, unsnap the two dirt canister latches by grasping the lower end of each
latch and pulling straight away from the canister (see figure 1c).
2. Carefully lower the dirt canister, dump the contents into trash container
(figure 2c), and then set aside.
3. It is not necessary to remove the inverted bag to clean. A plastic bag may be
placed over the bottom portion of the top canister. Then, while holding the
plastic bag tightly around the canister with one hand, push the bag up inside
with the other hand, and brush/shake the bag surface to loosen any dust and
debris that may have accumulated on the bag (see figure 3c). In this way, the
bag can be cleaned without getting any dust or debris on the floor or hands.
4. Replace the dirt canister by slipping the rim of the dirt canister over the lip of
the top can until it is seated against the rim gasket. Then while holding the
canister in place with your knee* (see Figure 1c) fasten the two latches. Do this
by hooking the top lip of each latch over the rim of the top can and then press
straight in on the bottom of the latches until they lock.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CHECK OR EMPTY MY DIRT CANISTER?
Initially, the dirt canister should be checked or emptied weekly until some
idea can be obtained as to how long it takes to half fill the canister under
your normal cleaning routine. All vacuum systems will function more effectively if it is emptied frequently.
Under no circumstances should you allow your dirt canister to become more than 3/4 full before emptying.
(Note: The canister will fill more rapidly if NEW carpets are being cleaned for there is usually a tremendous
quantity of loose fibers that are retained in the carpet from the manufacturing process. In some instances it
may take several months before all of these loose fibers are removed.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CLEAN THE INVERTED BAG?
The inverted bag should be cleaned approximately 3-4 times a year or every time the dirt canister is dumped.
If your inverted bag should ever need replaced, contact your local dealer.
* If you have trouble removing or replacing the dirt canister using your knee, try supporting the can with one hand, unlatching
(or relatching) one side with the other hand. Then, reverse your hands to unlatch (or relatch) the other side.

4. STORE YOUR HOSE AND TOOLS PROPERLY. When not in use, always hang up your hose and store the cleaning
tools and wands in a place where they will not be damaged.
5. HOLD THE INLET DOOR OPEN WHEN REMOVING THE HOSE
. After removing the hose from the inlet, hold the
inlet door open for a few seconds to:
a) Make sure the unit has stopped.
b) Clear any residual dirt out of the vacuum tubing
6. DO NOT PICK UP ANY LIQUIDS
. Do not pull liquids into the vacuum tubing since any liquid left in the tubing may:
a) Drain back out of the wall inlet and cause streaking of the walls.
b)
Cause dirt build-up in the tubing that could eventually clog the system.
Wet Pick-up Units are available for this type of use. Contact your local dealer.
7. BE CERTAIN TO FILL OUT AND RETURN THE WARRANTY CARD
. Take just a few moments to fill out the
warranty card, cut it out, place a stamp on it and drop it in the mail.
