Unzip the Filtration Bag Case
completely.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To keep your Elevate
vacuum running
at optimal performance, make sure to
change the filtration bag when the
contents reach the MAXIMUM FILL
LINE. Overloading may result in loss
of air flow suction and decreased
performance.
LUBRICATION:
The motor and brushroll
are equipped with bearings which
contain sufficient lubrication for their
lifetime. The addition of lubricant
could cause damage. Do not add
lubricant to motor or brushroll.
MOTOR PROTECTIONS:
If the vacuum
becomes overloaded (which could occur
when a large obstruction is sucked up or
when vacuuming extremely thick carpet),
the electronics are designed to shut down
the vacuum. If this happens, the vacuum
will automatically shut off and the
headlights will flash. To reset the vacuum,
turn the unit “off”, then turn on to continue
use. If it shuts down again there may be a
large obstruction in the vacuum. See
Clearing Blockages for the steps on
clearing a blockage.
THE BELT:
This vacuum is equipped
with the Endurolife Belt, which is
designed for long life and doesn’t
need changing.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
PERSONAL INJURY, UNPLUG BEFORE
CLEANING OR SERVICING.
