Check agitator shield
Because your cleaner picks up so
well, we strongly recommend you
L
check for debris accumulation under
the agitator shield each time you
clean the filters.
Removing debris under the shield
will help maintain your cleaner's
excellent pick up and suction.
Remove debris as follows:
1. Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.

removing bottom plate (Fig. 3-17),
removing agitator (Fig. 3-18), and lift-
ing agitator shield (Fig. 3-20).
3. Remove any debris and replace
shield, agitator and bottom plate
