Disposable Dust Bags
Paper bags play a very important role in the efficiency of a
vacuum cleaner. The purpose of a paper bag is to trap dirt.
But at the same time the paper bag must be porous enough to
allow air to pass through. If the paper bag becomes clogged,
no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take
place, regardless of how powerful the unit. Change the dust
bag frequently. Some fine particles can restrict airflow very
quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag
appears to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming carpet
fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine
substances, the bag may need to be changed more often.

Cord Storage
The cleaner has two convenient cord storage
hooks attached to the handle. However, some
models feature a quick release cord hook on
the upper handle. A downward twist of the
cord hook frees the cord for quick removal.
With either style, wind the cord around the
hooks for storage. Fasten the plug to the cord

® Bag Care
(Micron Filter Bag is standard on some models)
Because the Micron Filter Bag is an effective filter medium,
occasionally trapped dust particles will need to be cleaned
out with another vacuum or the bag may be removed to shake
out. If you desire, the bag may be hand laundered. The zipper
on the bag should be down and the bag should remain right
side out. Use warm water (150°F 65°C) and a mild detergent.
Pre-soaking the bag in a laundry pre-soak is desirable for
best cleaning results. Air dry thoroughly before using.
Check for brush wear (see Brush Roll instructions).
DO NOT USE AN AUTOMATIC WASHER OR DRYER as
either will cause abrasion to the delicate polyester fabric. DO
NOT DRY CLEAN as dry cleaning fluids will damage plastic
parts of your bag assembly.
4. Align brush roll pulley with belt guide.
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical
cord before cleaning unit.
To keep the vacuum cleaner looking new, it can be wiped with
a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then thoroughly dried.
Never use any type of chemical as chemicals can damage
the cleaner. When not in use, the cleaner should be stored
in a clean, dry place.
Metal Brush Roll only.
Place rubber end cap covers (available on select models)
over both end caps (flat side against end cap).Align holes
and secure.
The brush roll belt on the upright vacuum cleaner drives the
brush to agitate, sweep, and comb the carpet nap. The belt
should be checked regularly to be sure it is in good condition.
Replace the belt if it is stretching, cracking, or slipping. Cut
away any hair or thread wound around the brush roll or the
belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate
unevenly.
5. Slant brush roll forward so end caps are in line with
slots in cleaner base.
6. Push brush roll into base.

Headlight Bulb (Standard on most models)
The rotating brush roll sweeps and combs the carpet nap.
Keep the brush roll free from hair and threads so it will
continue brushing. When the bristles of the brush roll no
longer touch a straight edge held across the bottom plate,
the brush roll is ineffective because the bristles no longer
touch the carpet nap. To maintain the most effective cleaning,
replace the wood brush roll. Install new brush strips on the
chromed steel brush roll (refer to instructions).
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical
cord before replacing headlight bulb.
Headlight style varies by model. Locate the notches that
release the tabs at either (1) top, (2) side, or (3) bottom of
the lens, as illustrated. Place a screwdriver into one notch;
twist or pry the screwdriver to release the lens. Repeat for
the second notch on the opposite side.
Rotate the bulb socket forward. Push bulb in and turn to
remove. Secure new bulb into socket and rotate bulb socket
backward.
