Getting Started
BAG SUPPORT STRAP
4
Check to make sure the Bag Support Strap (4)is con-
nected to the Top Adaptor (5). The Bag Support Strap
provides the support required for proper operation of
the Disposable Filter Bag.
If it is not connected, thread the strap through the small hole
of the Top Adaptor. Then place the hole in the strap over the
stud on the Top Adaptor.
Finally, insert the adaptor and new filter bag into the Outer
Permanent Bag (1)and close the zipper completely for
maximum performance.
NOTE: In order for the Filtration System to perform effectively,
use only Kirby
®
Micron Magic
®
HEPA Filtration Bags. If the
outside bag is torn or damaged, please replace immediately.
EMPTYING THE MINI EM-TOR
®
COLLECTOR
The Mini Em-Tor (6) collector is designed to collect large,
heavy particles which can be emptied by removing the Mini
Em-Tor collector.

To remove, grasp the Mini Em-Tor collector in the
handhold provided and rotate it away from the body of
the system as far as it will go, then lift it off.
The top of the bag is released from the handle by pressing the
Bag Release Button (16). After removing the Mini Em-Tor col-
lector and the entire Bag Assembly, position the front opening
of the Mini Em-Tor collector over a newspaper and shake it to
remove the particles. >
To replace the Mini Em-Tor collector, re-attach the entire
Bag Assembly by inserting the Bag Latch Tab (2)at the top
of the bag into the slot under the Bag Release Button (16).
Finally, line up the raised indicator arrow of the Mini Em-Tor
collector with the indicator arrow on the Air Exhaust Port (19).
Rotate the Mini Em-Tor collector towards the Sentria system
and lock it in place.
NOTE: The Mini Em-Tor collector must be securely locked
in place or the unit will not operate.
USING THE BELT LIFTER
The Belt Lifter (20) on your Sentria system is used for two
purposes:
1) To engage or disengage the Brush Roll. When the Brush Roll
is disengaged, the Sentria system can be used as a straight suc-
tion cleaner (page 15), and;
2) To allow removal of the Power Nozzle when converting
your Sentria system for use with various attachments and
optional accessories.
To avoid damaging the belt, turn the Sentria system OFF
before using the Belt Lifter. >
/!\ CAUTION:
Do not pick up heavy objects, such as coins, screws, rocks or similar
objects. This may damage the fan.
