VACUUM MAINTENANCE
Changing the Filter Bag - Figure 17
To change the filter bag (45), set the canister upright (as shown in figure 17),
press the cover release catch (25) and lower the filter bag cover (26). Grasp
the green filter bag sealing plate (46), slide the plate from the holder (48) and
push the filter bag cap (47) on to seal the bag. Slide the sealing plate (46) of
a new bag into the bag holder slots (48) and push it in firmly until it locks into
place. Close the cover, making sure it snaps shut completely. You may find it
convenient to store the bag cap inside the filter bag housing below the filter
bag. Do not re-use the filter bags. Note: the nature of the contents of the fil-
ter bag will affect the point at which it needs changing. Fine dust may require
an earlier change even though the bag is not full. Fluff or hair allows air to
pass through easily, so the filter bag may overfill before the amber “bag full”
light illuminates.
The “bag full or clog” light works correctly only at full power. At lower power
levels, the “bag full or clog” light may illuminate incorrectly. Check the status
of the filter bag regularly at full power.
Changing the Exhaust Filter - Figure 18
The exhaust filter (51) needs to be changed when it becomes extremely dirty
or clogged with dust, or after approximately 10 to 20 filter bags have been
used. To change the exhaust filter, set the canister flat on the floor as shown
in figure 18. Remove the printed cover on top of the machine (14) by lifting the
catch (49) in the upholstery nozzle recess (see inset, figure 18). Pull out the
filter using the handle (50) and fit the new filter into the same position. The
filter handle should point toward the upholstery nozzle when it is folded
down. Fit the tabs on the bottom of the cover (14) into the grooves and snap
the cover down firmly.

Changing the AIRBELT Textile - Figure 20
If damage occurs to the AIRBELT textile, it will need to be replaced. To remove
the textile (15), pry off the clip (55) by inserting the tip of a slot-head screw-
driver under the bottom side of the clip. Push downward on the screwdriver
until the clip pops off. Grasp the end of the AIRBELT textile and pull - the tex-
tile will peel off. The foam bumper (54) remains on the vacuum. To replace the
textile, insert the side ribs of the textile into the grooves (56). Start at the
back, insert rib into one groove (56), and while holding it down, stretch the
AIRBELT textile around the foam (54) into the opposite groove (56). Continue
around the vacuum. Secure the ends with the clip (55).
Changing the Pre-motor Microfilter - Figures 17 &19
After 10 to 20 bags have been used, change the pre-motor microfilter (52).
To remove the microfilter, set the canister upright (as shown in figure 17).
Press the cover release catch (25) and lower the filter bag cover (26). Remove
the filter bag, then remove the cover by sliding it up and out of the grooves
(53). Pull the old filter out (52) and slide the new filter into the same position.
Replace the filter bag, then re-insert the cover by fitting the tabs into the
grooves (53) on both sides and sliding it in and down. Push the cover closed,
making sure it snaps shut completely.

Note:
Never operate the vacuum with incorrectly attached filters or without
filters, bag, AIRBELT textile or filter bag housing cover (26). Do not re-use fil-
ter bags. Do not wash and re-use filters.
