The nozzle should be set for various nap height carpets. Short
nap carpets require lower settings, high nap higher settings. The
highest setting consistent with good cleaning should be used for any
particular carpet. A machine with the nozzle set lower than
necessary may not give as good a cleaning performance and may
result in excessive wear to carpet and brush bristles and be difficult
to push.
CAUTIONS
Disconnect cord plug from wall outlet when removing dust bag
or inspecting blower fan and brush.
Don’t operate machine without bag and adaptor/deflector in place.
Inspect fan for strings, thread, etc. and remove when cleaning
dust bag.
The brush belt guard and thread guard are designed to prevent
thread and strings from binding the brush. However, the brush
should be inspected frequently and obstructions removed to
prevent damage to bristles.
Do not pick up large metal slugs, metal shavings, or similar
debris. Also care must be taken so as not to suck up loose carpets
or other such bulky articles into the vacuum.
When machine is not in use, place nozzle in up position to lift
brush bristles off the floor, thus preventing damaging a set of brush
bristles.
The machine handle can be stored in the full vertical position, or
laid flat as positioned for packing.
ADJUSTMENTS & MAINTENANCE
The filter bag should be kept clean for best performance. To clean,
release bag strap clamp, remove bag from cable hooks and shake
out bag thru zipper opening and then replace cleaned filter bag.
Adjust belts for wear by loosening brush mounting screws. Pull
brush forward and retighten screws.
To replace a worn brush assembly remove belt cover, remove
screws, two at each end of brush housing. Remove bracket and
thread guard and re-assemble to new brush assembly. Re-
assemble and adjust belt as above.
Check supply cord for worn spots, cuts, etc. Replace if defective
for safety of the operator. Cord is to be stored by winding around
the handle pipe.
