Cleaner Height Setting
WARNING: Avoid injury. Keep loose clothing, hair,
fingers, and all other parts of body
away from any moving part (such
as the revolving brush). Turn off the
switch and unplug the cleaner before
changing the cleaner height setting.
Adjust the vacuum cleaner height setting to match the carpet
pile height.
The front of the cleaner has a knob which raises or lowers
the cleaner base to match the type of carpet. With the cleaner
cord unplugged, set the adjustment to the lowest setting.
While the cleaner is off and disconnected from the outlet,
place the handle in the operating position, tilt the cleaner
back to remove the weight from the wheels, and adjust the
setting. Then plug the cleaner into the electrical outlet, turn
on the switch, lower the handle, and pass the cleaner over
the carpet. If the cleaner is still difficult to push, follow the
procedure and test the cleaner at the next higher setting.
Continue testing the setting until the cleaner is comfortable
to move. Moving the knob to the next higher setting raises
the brush roll slightly, making the cleaner easier to push.
However, the brush roll must make contact with the carpet
for effective cleaning.
HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions in this booklet serve as a guide to routine
maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls, check the
bag, belt and brush roll often.
Cleaner Care

the cleaner. When not in use, the cleaner should be stored
in a clean, dry place.

Dust Cup and Bag
The cloth bag and the dust cup play a very important role in
the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. The cloth bag allows air
to move through the cleaner while it traps dirt inside the cloth
bag and the dust cup. When dirt particles cling to the cloth bag
they can restrict airflow, If air cannot pass through the cloth
bag, no cleaning can take place regardless of how powerful the
unit. Some fine particles can restrict airflow very quickly and
will decrease performance even before the dust cup appears
to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming powder, flour dust,
or similar fine substances, it may be necessary to turn off the
cleaner and empty the dust cup more often.
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the
electrical cord before emptying the dust
cup. Never operate the vacuum cleaner
without the dust cup latched in place.
1. Unhook the clip from the top of the cloth bag.
2. Shake the cloth bag to release dust clinging inside.
3. Release each latch, one on either side of the handle (push
down on the lock, lift up on the bottom and pull the top
forward.)
4. Lift the lid; swing it up and outward.
CAUTION: Keep the latch free of dust or obstructions
that would prevent it from locking
securely.
