IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following :

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury :

Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

•
Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Turn off

•

the switch and unplug the electrical cord when not in use
and before servicing.

Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is

•

necessary when used by or near children.

Use only as described in this manual. Use only

•

manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner

•

is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged,
left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service
center before using.

Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close

•

door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep cord away
from heated surfaces.

Hold plug when rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow plug

•

to whip when rewinding.

Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate

•

current carrying capacity.

Turn off all controls before unplugging.

•
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the

•

plug, not the cord.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• The hose contains electrical wires. Do not use when damaged,
cut, or punctured. Avoid picking up sharp objects.

• Always turn off this appliance before connecting or
disconnecting either hose or motorize nozzle.

Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands or

•

operate without shoes.

Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any

•

opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything
that may reduce airflow.

This vacuum cleaner creates suction and contains a

•

revolving brush roll. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and
all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.

Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such

•

as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

Do not use without dust bag or filter in place.

•

Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent

•

burns, avoid touching the belt pulley when servicing the
drive belt.

Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

•

Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such

•

as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.

Store your cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.

•

Keep your work area well lighted.

•

Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.

•

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a

polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Use the cleaner to pick up dirt and dust particles. Avoid
picking up hard or sharp objects that could damage the
vacuum cleaner.

DO NOT OIL the motor or the brush roll. The

motor and brush roll are permanently sealed
and lubricated.

Automatic Motor Shut-Off

To protect from overheating, this vacuum cleaner is
equipped with a thermostat which automatically shuts off
the motor if it overheats. Should this happen:

1. Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner because

the thermostat will allow the cleaner to automatically
start running again when the motor cools (approximately
30 minutes).

2. Check the hose, bag and filter regularly, as a clogged

hose, full bag or dirty filter could cause the motor to
overheat.

3. Call a Eureka Service Station if the cleaner will not op-

erate after cooling for approximately 30 minutes.
