The vacuum cleaner creates suction that
picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries
the dirt to the dust bag through the airflow
passages. The dust bag lets the air pass
through, while it traps the dirt.
For best cleaning results, keep the
airflow passage open. Check the starred
(★) areas occasionally for clogs. Turn
off and unplug vacuum cleaner
from outlet before checking.
TO CHECK FOR CLOGS:
· Check dust bag and change if full. See
BAG CHANGING (page 21).
· Check motor safety filter and exhaust
filter and replace if dirty. See MOTOR
SAFETY FILTER CHANGING (page 22)
and EXHAUST FILTER CHANGING (page
23).
· Check PowerMate for any dirt or debris
in the belt path area or in the agitator
area. Carefully remove any string or
debris located on the agitator or end
caps. See TO CLEAN AGITATOR (page
25).
CLEANING EXTERIOR AND ATTACHMENTS
1. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner. DO
NOT drip water on vacuum cleaner.
2. To clean exterior, or to reduce static
electricity and dust build-up, wipe outer
surface of vacuum cleaner and attach-
ments. Use a clean, soft cloth that has
been dipped in a solution of mild liquid
detergent and water, then wrung dry. Wipe
dry after cleaning.
CANISTER CARE
REMOVING CLOGS
If the vacuum cleaner still has poor suction,
do the following:
1. Connect the hose to the canister and turn
vacuum cleaner on. Check the end of the
hose for suction. If there is good suction
on the hose handle, there is no clog in the
hose. If the suction is bad, remove any
dirt or debris in the hose and handle.
2. Connect hose handle to wand. Check the
end of the wand for suction. If there is
good suction at the end of the wand,
there is no clog in the wand. If the
suction is bad, remove any dirt or debris
in the wand.
3. Check PowerMate swivel. Remove any
dirt or debris.
CAUTION
Do not use attachments if they are wet.
Attachments used in dirty areas, such as
under a refrigerator, should not be used
on other surfaces until they are washed.
They could leave marks.
