Always follow all safety precautions when
cleaning and servicing the vacuum cleaner.
WARNING
Electric Shock Or Personal
Injury
Hazard
Disconnect
electrical
supply before
servicing
or cleaning
the unit.
Failure to do so could result in
electric shock or personal
injury
from cleaner suddenly
starting.
If the cleaner does not seem to have adequate
suction, first check to see if the bag is full or if a
filter is clogged. See instructions in DUST BAG
CHANGING and MOTOR SAFETY FILTER
CLEANING.
If the bag and filter areas are free of clogs,
check the hose area. Remove the lower end of
the stretch hose from the cleaner by grasping
the hose connector, twisting, and pulling
straight out.
Plug in the vacuum
and turn it on.
Stretch the hose to
maximum length
and then allow the
hose to return to its
storage length.
Turn the unit off
and unplug the unit.
Remove any visible
clogs from the
hose.
i
Hose
Connector
Re-insert the hose into the opening on the
lower body from which it was removed. Press
firmly to assure connection.
If the bag and filter areas and the hose areas
are free of clogs, check the floor nozzle area.
To check this area, see the sections on BELT
CHANGING AND AGITATOR CLEANING.
Return the cleaner to the upright position before
plugging into an electrical outlet.
For best cleaning
results, keep the airflow
passage open. You
should check your
vacuum occasionally for
clogs. The arrows in
this figure indicate the
airflow path where
clogs occur. Unplug
vacuum before
checking for clogs.
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
DO NOT place hands or feet
underneath
the unit when inserting
the hose. The agitator revolves
rapidly when the vacuum is turned on
and is in the carpet setting.
