HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to
routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls,
check the bag, belt and brush roll often.

Fan Chamber
(800 Series Models Only)
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the
electrical cord before cleaning.
The clear, removable fan chamber
cover provides easy inspection,
cleaning, and maintenance of
the fan chamber. Removing the
cover provides easy access to
the motor fan. Grease buildup,
dirt, or other obstructions, visible
through the fan cover, should be
removed. To clean the fan area,
take off the chrome bottom plate
by releasing the two cam locks
(see Brush Roll Belt, Figure 1
and 2). Remove the belt from the motor pulley, then loosen
and remove the screws on either side of the fan cover, as
indicated by the arrows. Push the cam locks outward against
the wheels to lift the cover from the cleaner base. Dirt and
obstructions can easily be cleared; however, caked grease
may need to be scraped from the cover and the cleaner. If
the fan does not turn freely, it also should be removed for
cleaning. To remove the fan, place a wrench over the motor
pulley. Hold the fan blades with one hand and turn the wrench
counterclockwise. Remove the motor pulley and lift the fan
off the motor shaft. Clean the area and replace the fan over
the motor shaft. Tighten the motor pulley snugly clockwise
with the wrench. If necessary, replace the fan cover or the
gasket with replacement parts.
Be sure the fan cover gasket is in place. Reposition the fan
cover by first placing the exhaust end into place between the
large rear wheels. Seat the fan cover firmly. Next replace
the belt and bottom plate as the pressure from the bottom
plate helps seal the fan cover. Start the two screws by hand
to be sure they are straight, then tighten.

gasket, two screws) Part No. 52334.
Cleaner Care
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the
electrical cord before cleaning unit.
To keep the vacuum cleaner looking new, it can be wiped with
a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then thoroughly dried.
Never use any type of chemical as chemicals can damage
the cleaner. When not in use, the cleaner should be stored
in a clean, dry place.
Dust Bag
Dust bags play a very important role in the efficiency of a
vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the dust bag is to trap dirt.
But at the same time the bag fabric must be porous enough to
allow air to pass through. If the bag fabric becomes 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 dust
bag frequently. Some fine particles can restrict airflow very
quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag
appears to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming carpet
fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine
substances, the bag may need to be emptied more often.
How To Empty Reusable Dust Bag
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the
electrical cord before servicing the
bag. Never operate the vacuum cleaner
without the dust bag.
