8. Periodically check the vacuum bag level. For best
cleaning results, change the bag when it becomes
three--quarters full.
9. When you change the bag, also check the
condition of the secondary filter. If it is dusty,
remove and clean it. A clogged filter can reduce
airflow and cleaning power.
NOTE: If the brush stops during use, unplug the
vacuum and dislodge any obstructions near the
brush. Then, push in the brush reset button located at
the rear of the vacuum, near the wheels.

MACHINE MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Electrical Hazard. Unplug power
Cord Before Servicing Machine.
If the supply cord is damaged or broken, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or it's service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard.
1. The most important step is to remove carpet
strands and other clogging debris from the brush
after every use. This simple step can extend the
life of your brush bearings.
2. Check the vacuum bag level frequently to prevent
overfilling the bag. Always dispose of paper bags
when they become full, do not reuse them. If
using a cloth bag, empty the bag and shake out
excess dust. Also, inspect the cloth bag for
tearing or holes each time you empty it.
