These uprights are lightweight upright vacuums that feature high performance computer design motors, double edge cleaning, quick release cord

wraps and top conversion cleaning tools

ON/OFF _

SWITCH

All models have automatic height adjustment in that the nozzle is free to float up and down on the carpet. These models additionally have front wheel height control to limit the minimum nozzle

height which allows the user to "select the proper setting for optimum operation on various types of

carpets.

The Legacy and Legacy II models use Type "A" top-fill disposable bags.

The Dimension/Dirt Finder uses Type "Z" top-fill disposable bags.

Microfiltration bags are available for both models.

II. Operation

These cleaners operate on a Dirty Air System principle, i.e., dirty air passes through the motor

area (fan) before reaching the bag.

Fig. A

The carpet height adjustment lever has four settings for carpet cleaning and one for the top too!

conversion.

NOZZLE CONTROL KNOB _,_

It is important that the unit be in the proper setting (carpet - for floor cleaning, and cleaning tools -

when using the hose and tools). This will ensure

optimum performance.

The cleaning tool hose attaches to the unit through

the tool door located on the top of the hood. The air is directed to the hose by adjusting the nozzle

control knob to the cleaning tool position.

=o CLEAN AIR

,o DIRTY AIR

As illustrated, air and dirt are sucked through the molded agitator housing and directed into the motor area. The fan then propels the air and dirt up the handle passage and into the throw-away bag.

The Legacy units are controlled by an on/off switch located on the side of the unit. (Fig. A)

The Legacy II, Dimension and Dirt Finder units are controlled by an on/off switch located in the front of

the upper handle. (Fig. B)

The valve gate operates in conjunction with the height adjustment lever. When the lever is in any one of the four carpet settings the valve gate is

open. The cam is not contacting the valve gate.
