The dirt sensor light
system is mounted on
the CT-20DXQS nozzle
near the reset button.
It consists of a series
of two red lights and
two green lights.
Initial Start Up
When the CT-20DXQS is first started, the following
sequences occurs in a two second time frame:
1) Two red lights come on.
2) Two green lights come on.
3) Two green lights remain on until the CT-20DXQS
nozzle is placed in use.
In Operation
When the CT-20DXQS is being moved back and forth on
the floor, the lights will change from one configuration to
another as more or less dirt is being vacuumed. As long
as the red lights are on, dirt is passing through the wand
indicating that the surface still needs cleaning.
When the green lights stay on as the CT-20DXQS is moved
back and forth over an area, the sensor is not seeing
enough dirt to warrant further cleaning of that area.
Cleaning Lens
Although the dirt sensor feature in your CT-20DXQS is
designed for years of trouble free use, the passage of dirt
through the air passage system can coat the lens causing
the green light to come on and stay on - never switching
to red. When this happens the lens must be cleaned.
To Clean The Lenses
Note:
DO NOT attach or
remove handle or wands
while cleaner is ON.
1) Remove the wands by
pressing the easy release
pedal and lifting up on
the wands.
2) As indicated by the illus-
tration below, the two
dirt sensor elements are located on the inside of the
swivel, approximately 3

" (90mm) down, (note the
arrows). Each element should be cleaned periodically. To
reach the sensor elements, use a small brush such as a
bottle brush. Brush each sensor element several times
to remove dust and dirt.
Note:
Looking down inside the swivel you will see a ring. The
sensor elements are located just slightly below this ring.
3) Reinstall the wands after cleaning the sensors.

Never use water or any cleaning solu-
tion when cleaning the lenses. The
residue of the water or cleaners will
accelerate the recoating of the lenses
and make cleaning necessary sooner.
