Page 7

HOW TO USE

13. Cleaner Height Setting. The front of the cleaner has an adjustment that raises or lowers the cleaner base to match the type of floor surface. With the cleaner cord unplugged, set the adjustment to lowest setting for maximum carpet cleaning. If the cleaner is difficult to push, move adjustment to next highest setting until cleaner is comfortable to push. The brush roll bristles must reach the carpet for effective cleaning. The optimal hard floor cleaning adjustment is located next to lowest carpet setting. For ease in moving the adjustment knob, place handle in operating position and tilt cleaner back to remove weight from front wheels.

NOTE: The suction against some types of flooring may require higher cleaner height setting. The Hard Floor

setting is recommended, but the actual setting used for your hard floor may need to be adjusted for best performance and ease of movement.

WARNING: Avoid injury. Keep loose clothing, hair, fingers, and all other parts of body away from any moving part

(such as the revolving brush). T urn off the switch and unplug the cleaner before changing the cleaner height setting.

14. Headlight. The headlight is visible when cleaner is in operating position.

1. Cord Retainer. To use, push electrical cord down into cord retainer.

2. Motor Filter Indicator (red light) (on some models). Indicates when

motor filter needs to be cleaned or replaced.

3. HEP A Filter Indicator (red light) (on some models) Indicates when

the HEPA filter needs to be replaced.

4. Dirt Alert Indicator (on some models). The dirt alert sensor uses infra- red technology to indicate whether or not floors are clean. When debris breaks the light beam, the yellow light comes on indicating additional cleaning is needed in this area. If there is no break in the light beam, the floor is clean and no light will come on.

When using your new vacuum you may be cleaning deep down dirt missed by your old vacuum causing the light to stay yellow longer. With frequent cleaning, after the first few times you use your Eureka vacuum, the yellow light should go on less.

To check if the dirt alert sensor is working properly: A. While the yellow light is on, tip the vacuum backwards on rear wheels,

lifting the brush roll off the carpet a couple of inches.

B. After a few seconds the yellow light should turn off.

5. ON/OFF Switch. International symbol I means On, International symbol O means Off.

6. Filter Screen. Located inside dust cup. Must be removed from dust cup to empty cup. Must be reinstalled in dust cup before use for correct operation.

7. Pre-motor tube filter. The pre-motor tube filter removes the smallest dust particles. Clean or replace as needed to maintain maximum performance.

8. Dust Cup. The dust cup collects the dust and debris. Empty before debris reaches the maximum fill line on dust cup.

Certain types of fine particles like powder, plaster dust, or fine road dust can restrict airflow very quickly. The fine particles will decrease

performance even before the dust cup appears to be full. Empty the dust cup and clean the motor filter to restore maximum performance.

9. Dust Cup Lever. When facing cleaner, slide the dust cup latch to the left release position to release dust cup and motor filter. Slide the dust cup latch to the right to the engage position to secure dust cup and motor filter in cleaner. You will notice a snap as the lever locks in place.

10. HEPA Filter Door Latch. Squeeze latch and pull out to remove HEPA Filter Door giving access to the HEP A Filter . Push on latch to close door .

11. Handle Release. There are two positions. Step on handle release. The first is the normal operating position. Step on handle release again to lower handle for cleaning under furniture.

12. Brush Roll Control. Flip this lever to choose between cleaning hard floors and carpeting. Brush roll is “off” for hard floors and “on” for carpets.

NOTE: When handle is in upright position, brush roll automatically

shuts off.

HOW TO MAINTAIN

The instructions in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls, check the dust cup, filters, belt, and brush roll often.

Brush Roll

The brush roll turns as it sweeps and combs the carpet nap. Remove hair and threads from the brush roll so it continues brushing the carpet. To maintain the most efficient cleaning, the bristles must touch the carpet. To test the bristle length, hold a ruler against the underneath side of the cleaner. If the bristles no longer touch the ruler, replace the brush roll.

Brush Roll Belt

The brush roll belt turns the brush roll to agitate, sweep, and comb the carpet nap. Check the belt regularly to be sure it is in good condition and rotating the brush roll. Replace the belt if it cracks or tears. Cut away any hair or threads wound around the brush roll or the belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate unevenly.

NOTE: Belt breakage may occur as a result of brush roll stall.

How To Replace Brush Roll Belt, Part No. 61110
