DIRT SENSOR
The DIRT SENSOR
light system is mount
ed on the PowerMate
no22le near the reset
button. It consists of a
series of two red lights
and two green lights.
The lights give you an indication of the amount
of dirt particles that are passing through the
sensor on its way to the dust bag.
INITIAL START UP
When the Poweryate is first started, the fol
lowing light sequence occurs in a two-second
time frame:
1. Two reds come on,
2. Two greens are on and will remain on until
the PowerMate nozzle is placed in use.
NOTE: if the nozzle is on a surface that has
dirt on it, dirt will be picked up by the vacuum
cleaner and the red lights might stay on
CANISTER CARE
IN OPERATION
When the PowerMate is being moved back
and forth on the floor, the lights will change
from one configuration to another as dirt is
being vacuumed- As long as the red lights are
on, dirt is passing through the wand to indicate
that the surface still needs cleaning.
When the green lights stay on as the
PowerMate is moved back and forth over an
area, the sensor is not seeing enough dirt to
warrant further cleaning of that area,
NOTE: Dirt sensor lights DO NOT function . .

iLtJ
'B
REMOVING CLOGS
The vacuum cleaner creates suction that
picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the
dirt to the dust bag through the airflow pas
sages, The dust bag lets the air pass
through, white it traps the dirt.
For best cleaning results, keep the airflow
passage open. Check the starred areas
occasionally for dogs. Turn off and
unplug vacuum cleaner from outlet
before checking.
