INSTRUCTIONS FOR TURBINE POWERHEAD
(A) ATTACHING THE TURBINE POWERHEAD
To attach your metal wand, simply twist into Powerhead elbow until it fits snugly. The built-in, locking mechanism
will prevent the wand from coming loose from your Powerhead while in use. To detach wand, depress tab on
side of elbow and twist wand free. (See Fig. 1)
The wand can be locked in an upright position by pushing it forward until the lock is engaged. (See Fig. 2). This
locked position is convenient for storage and for lifting of the Powerhead. To release wand from the vertical
locked position, gently place foot on Powerhead, grasp wand and pull back firmly.
(B) OPERATING PROCEDURES
Your Turbine Powerhead has no on/off switch. Whenever it is attached to an operating vacuum system, it will be
running. No adjustments to the tool are necessary for different types of carpeting.
To ensure maximum efficiency of the Turbine Powerhead, make sure that any filters, bags and cleaning hoses
in your vacuum system are clean and free of blockage.
(C) CLEARING INTAKE NOZZLE
If the Turbine or Intake nozzle become obstructed.
1. Turn off Vacuum System and disconnect the Powerhead from wand and hose.
2. Turn Powerhead over, and remove the clear belt cover, by first rotating the two latches counter clockwise
until they align with the openings in the belt cover. Pull the belt cover away from the housing using the tab
provided, then pull the belt cover out from under the baseplate. (see Fig. 3)
3. Remove debris from the intake or turbine. Rotate brush to ensure the system is clear. Ensure the special
red coloured seal and mating surfaces are clean and free of any dirt particles, before re-assembling belt
cover to unit.
4. To re-assemble the belt cover to the unit: insert the front of the belt cover under the base plate edge, and
press the belt cover into the housing.
5. Check that a proper seal is made: UNIT PERFORMANCE IS DEPENDENT ON A PROPER SEAL!
6. Secure the belt cover in place by rotating the two latches clockwise to the locked position.
(D) CLEANING BRUSH
Turn off vacuum system and disconnect Powerhead.
Threads, string, carpet fiber, fuzz, etc. occasionally may become wound around the beater brush. These should
be removed by unwinding them by hand or carefully cutting with scissors or other cutting tool. Keeping the beat-
er brush clean will maintain efficiency.
