Parking Brake - Porter Cable 7812 Manual De Instrucciones

PARKING BRAKE

Both models are equipped with a Parking Brake. The parking brake will lock
one wheel to prevent the vacuum from rolling.
To engage parking brake, use your toe to depress the brake button. The brake
will snap into the locked position.
To disengage parking brake, use your toe to pull up on the brake button until
it snaps into the unlocked position.
TOP FILTER
Both models are equipped with a top filter. If vacuum efficiency is reduced
(indicating a clogged filter), proceed as follows:
1. Turn the Vacuum Cleaner switch to the "OFF" position. Grasp handle (C)
Fig. 6 and pull out (approximately one and one-half inches), then release.
Repeat several times. This action "shakes" the filter to remove loose dirt.
2. Switch Vacuum Cleaner "ON" and check performance. If still unsatis-
factory, switch Vacuum Cleaner "OFF" and continue to step 3.

4. Pull upward on the filter cover lock, located on rear of the motor unit (see
Fig. 7) to expose the filter.
5. Remove the filter (see Fig. 8) and tap it to remove any loose dirt.
6. If the filter is still dirty, clean it under running water (see Fig. 9). If this does
not adequately clean the filter, replace it.
NOTE: Allow wet filter to dry before re-installing it in the appliance.
