causes the agitator to rotate and is

dition.

Check agitator shield
Because your cleaner picks up so
well, we strongly recommend you
check for debris accumulation under
the agitator shield each time you
clean the filters.
Removing debris under the shield
will help maintain your cleaner’s
excellent pick up and suction.
Remove debris as follows:
1. Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
2. Check for dirt accumulation by
removing bottom plate (Fig. 3-10),
removing agitator (Fig. 3-11), and
lifting agitator shield (Fig. 3-13).
3. Remove any debris and replace
shield, agitator and bottom plate
(Figs. 3-13 to 3-15).
