Cleaner Care
NOTE: 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.
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. Refer to the following chart of recommended
settings for carpet types.
The front of the cleaner has either a knob or slide adjustment
which raises or lowers the cleaner base to match the type of
carpet. With the cleaner cord unplugged, set the adjustment
according to the table as a starting point.
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 or
slide 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 given in this booklet serve as a guide to
routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls,
check the bag, belt and brush roll often.
Disposable Dust Bags
Paper bags play a very important role in the efficiency of a
vacuum cleaner. The purpose of a paper bag is to trap dirt.
But at the same time the bag must be porous enough to allow
air to pass through. If the paper bag becomes clogged, no air
can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place,
regardless of how powerful the unit is. Change 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 changed more often.

Brush Roll Belt
The brush roll belt on the upright vacuum cleaner drives the
brush to agitate, sweep, and comb the carpet nap. The belt
should be checked regularly to be sure it is in good condition.
Replace the belt if it is stretching, cracking, or slipping. Cut
away any hair or thread wound around the brush roll or the
belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate
unevenly.
How To Replace A Worn Belt
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord
before replacing belt. Belt pulleys can become
hot during normal use. To prevent injury, avoid
touching the belt pulley when servicing the drive
belt.
IMPORTANT: Improper installation of the brush roll or
brush roll belt could cause carpet or
cleaner damage.
