3. Attach Upper Cord Hook - Pull the spring (G) on the cord upward toward
the top of the handle. Insert the lower half of the spring (G) into the upper
cord hook (B). Make sure slots in handle are positioned properly (Figure 2).
Place inner tab into slot as shown in (1) and press hook around handle (2),
snapping opposite inner tab into place (3) (Figure 4).
4. Attach Lower Cord Hook - Insert the power cord into the lower cord hook
(C) (Figure 3). Snap the hook into the lower handle. Pull the cord up to tight-
en but leave enough slack near the base so the cord is not strained when
the handle is lowered. Wrap the cord around the two cord hooks. Fasten the
plug to the cord to prevent unwinding.
5. Attach Filter Bag - Position the filter bag adapter clip (H) on the bottom
of the filter bag collar and inside the bag adapter retainer (I) below the air
outlet. Push the bag collar up and forward so the locator tab (J) to the right
of the cam latch (L) slides and engages into the slot (K), then turn the cam
latch to lock the bag onto the shoulder rivet (M). To support the bag, loop
the spring (N) from the top of the bag onto the bag support, located to the
back of the upper cord hook (B) (Figure 2).
Machine Operation
6. Power Switch - The power switch is located at the left rear of machine. Use
foot to step on power switch to turn machine on or off.
7. Handle Adjustment - The handle lock is located at the left rear side of the
machine. Use foot to step on handle lock to release and move handle to
one of three positions.
8. Height Adjustment - This machine has a 6-position carpet height adjust-
ment knob. To select the proper setting, start by moving the knob to the
highest setting. Turn down one setting at a time until the machine’s sound
changes to a smooth buzzing or vibrating tone. This is the sound of the
beater bars grooming the pile. Raising the front of the machine will make it
easier to change settings.
Emptying Cloth Bag
- The cloth bag should be emptied frequently for maximum performance. To empty cloth bag,
disconnect power cord from electrical wall outlet. Slide top of bag out of clamp, remove bottom by pulling back on lever
arm on bag collar. Dump contents into a waste container and shake to remove stubborn dust. Reinstall bag on machine.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to remove top clamp from machine.
Replacing Disposable Paper Filter Bags (models with zipper bag)
- Disconnect power cord from wall
outlet. Unzip the cloth bag and pull the plastic bag throat out of the bag’s top fill sleeve and move coil spring down on
throat. Remove full paper bag and dispose. Slide a new disposable paper filter bag on the plastic bag throat. Move coil
spring up until it stops and paper bag is secure. Zip up cloth bag.
IMPORTANT:
For optimum vacuum performance, the disposable paper filter bag should be changed frequently.
