MAINTENANCE
• Crevice tool (Q) may be used in tight spaces,
corners and along edges in such places as
dresser drawers, upholstered furniture, stairs and
baseboards. (See Figure 21)
• Extension wands are used to give extra length to
your hose. Use them with any of the above tools.
(See Figure 21)
ATTACH WAND AND TOOLS

hose by pushing it firmly into
the hose. (See Figure 22)
2. Twist wand or tool slightly
to tighten or loosen the
connection.
3. Repeat with other tools.
CLEAN TOOLS AND HOSE
1. To clean hose wipe off dirt with a cloth dampened
in a mild detergent. Rinse with a damp cloth.
2. Wash tools in warm water with a detergent. Rinse
and air dry before using.
ChECk BAG INDICATOR
The indicator (R) will turn red as the
filter bag fills with dirt. (See Figure 23)
Three conditions cause the indicator
to become completely red:
• The bag is full; change the bag .
• Fine materials have been picked
up, clogging the bag pores; change the bag .
• Blockage in the nozzle, hose, tools or at the bag
opening; remove the blockage (See Clearing
Blockages, page 7)
NOTE: New carpet has loose fibers that fill the filter
bag quickly when vacuumed. This type of debris
does not activate the indicator. If vacuuming new
carpet change the filter bag often.
CAUTION! Fine materials such as face powder
or corn starch may seal the filter bag and
cause it to burst. When vacuuming material of
this nature, change filter bag often.
