HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to
routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls,
check the hose, cloth bag and motor filter often. Clear a
clogged hose with the blower, empty the bag if it is full, and
clean the motor filter when it is dirty.
Cloth Dust Bag and Filter
The cloth dust bag and motor filter play a very important roll
in the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the
cloth dust bag is to trap dirt. If the bag or the motor filter
become clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and
no cleaning can take place regardless of how powerful the
unit is. To keep the cleaner operating at maximum
efficiency, empty the cloth dust bag frequently and clean
the filter as needed. Some fine particles can restrict airflow
very quickly and will decrease performance even before the
cloth dust bag appears to be full. For that reason, when
vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster
dust, or similar fine substances, the cloth bag needs to be
emptied and the filter needs to be cleaned or replaced
more often.
How to Empty the Cloth Bag
NOTE: Turn off vacuum and unplug the electrical cord
before changing cloth bag or cleaning motor
filter. Never operate the vacuum cleaner
without the cloth bag or filter.
