CAUTION:
HANDLE TILT LATCH LOCK
The Handle Tilt Latch Lock ⑩ will allow you to lift the front of the
Sentria system over door thresholds or throw rugs. To do so, move the Tilt
Latch Lock towards the bag. By doing this, the handle will only lower part
way. This allows you to push down on the locked handle and lift the front
of the unit. ❏
LOCK THE UPRIGHT HANDLE
Move the Handle Tilt Latch Lever away from the bag. This will lock
the base in place when the unit is lifted off the floor. ❏
NOTE: The Handle Tilt Latch Lever should always be in the center
position when vacuuming.

Use either the Lower Carrying Grip in the center of the handle, or the
Upper Carrying Grip above the bag to lift and carry the system. ❏
Never unlock the Handle Tilt Latch without holding on to the handle. The
handle is spring-loaded and could quickly pivot upward when unlatched.

Getting Started
BAG SUPPORT STRAP
Check to make sure the Bag Support Strap ④ is connected to
the Top Adaptor ⑤. The Bag Support Strap provides the support
4
required for proper operation of the Disposable Filter Bag.
If it is not connected, thread the strap through the small hole of the Top
Adaptor. Then place the hole in the strap over the stud on the Top Adaptor.
Finally, insert the adaptor and new filter bag into the Outer Permanent
Bag ① and close the zipper completely for maximum performance.
NOTE: In order for the Filtration System to perform effectively, use only
Kirby® Micron Magic® HEPA Filtration Bags. If the outside bag is torn
or damaged, please replace immediately. ❏
EMPTYING THE MINI EM-TOR® COLLECTOR
The Mini Em-Tor ⑥ collector is designed to collect large, heavy
particles which can be emptied by removing the Mini Em-Tor collector.
To remove, grasp the Mini Em-Tor collector in the handhold
provided and rotate it away from the body of the system as far
1
as it will go, then lift it off.
The top of the bag is released from the handle by pressing the Bag
Release Button ⑯. After removing the Mini Em-Tor collector and the
entire Bag Assembly, position the front opening of the Mini Em-Tor
collector over a newspaper and shake it to remove the particles. ➤
To replace the Mini Em-Tor collector, re-attach the entire Bag
Assembly by inserting the Bag Latch Tab ② at the top of the bag
2
into the slot under the Bag Release Button ⑯.
Finally, line up the raised indicator arrow of the Mini Em-Tor collector
with the indicator arrow on the Air Exhaust Port ⑲. Rotate the Mini
Em-Tor collector towards the Sentria® system and lock it in place.
NOTE: The Mini Em-Tor collector must be securely locked in place
or the unit will not operate. ❏
USING THE BELT LIFTER
The Belt Lifter ⑳ on your Sentria system is used for two purposes:
l) To engage or disengage the Brush Roll. When the Brush Roll is
disengaged, the Sentria system can be used as a straight suction
cleaner (page 13), and;
2) To allow removal of the Power Nozzle when converting your Sentria
system for use with various attachments and optional accessories.
To avoid damaging the belt, turn the Sentria system OFF before using
the Belt Lifter. ➤
9
Getting Started
USING THE BELT LIFTER (cont)
To use the Belt Lifter, you must first raise the Headlight
Hood . ➤
1
Flip out the handle on the Belt Lifter . Use it to turn the Belt
Lifter fully to the left (counter-clockwise) until it stops and the
2
red arrows line up. This stretches the belt and lifts it off the motor
shaft. Return the handle on the Belt Lifter to its closed position.
If you are using your Sentria® system as a straight suction cleaner,
simply lower the Headlight Hood. The Brush Roll is now disengaged
and will not rotate when the power switch is turned ON. ➤
The belt will be stretched to the top of the nozzle as shown. ➤
3
To re-engage the belt so the Brush Roll rotates, simply raise the
4
Headlight Hood and use the handle to turn the Belt Lifter fully
to the right (clockwise) until the green arrows line up. Then lower the
Headlight Hood.
The Brush Roll will now rotate when the Power Switch is turned ON.
NOTE: The belt should not be stretched when stored for an extended
period. Make sure the green arrows line up for storage. ➤
Your Sentria system is equipped with a Brush Roll Performance
Indicator Light ⑦, located on the top right side of the Power
5
Nozzle. The purpose of this light is to show if the Brush Roll is
rotating properly.
If the Brush Roll Indicator Light flashes intermittently or does not come
on when using the Power Nozzle, the Brush Roll Belt may not be working
properly. Either the Belt is not engaged or may need to be replaced.
To replace the Brush Roll Belt, also called the Power Nozzle Belt,

Upright & Portable Cleaner
PART TWO
Your Sentria® home care system is extremely versatile.
In this section, we will discuss the following:
Upright Cord Management
Using your Sentria System as an
Upright Cleaner
Using your Upright as a Straight
Suction Cleaner
Cleaning Hard-Surface Floors
Using your Sentria System as a
Portable Cleaner
Cleaning Mattresses and Carpeted Stairs
UPRIGHT CORD MANAGEMENT
The Sentria system Upright handle incorporates a series of hooks and
fasteners to keep the cord off the floor and attached to the upright
handle for your convenience.
When using your Sentria system as an upright, snap the power
1
cord into the two cord holders located on the back of the handle. ➤
With the Upper Cord Hook in the up or 12 o’clock position,
2
route the cord toward the rear of the unit and slide the cord in
to the c-shaped holder on the Upper Cord Hook. The cord can now
be wrapped around the Upper and Lower Cord Hooks for storage. To
quick-release the cord for use, rotate the Upper Cord Hook down to the
6 o’clock position. The c-shaped holder is designed to hold the cord
securely in place and prevent the first loop from dropping to the floor.
NOTE: The cord can only be inserted or removed from the c-shaped
holder when the Upper Cord Hook is in the 12 o’clock position. ❏

side (marked “N” for Neutral) of the Tech Drive N/D Pedal ⑪.
Turn the Sentria system OFF by pressing the Power Switch ⑬
and then unplugging. ❏
STRAIGHT SUCTION CLEANER
Straight Suction Cleaning allows you to vacuum hard floors,
throw rugs and delicate carpets without use of the Brush Roll.
NOTE: When using Straight Suction Cleaning without the Hard
Floor Pad, either on carpets or bare floors, lower the nozzle as
close as possible to the floor without touching the floor.
With the Sentria system turned OFF, raise the
1
Headlight Hood . ➤
Flip out the handle on the Belt Lifter ⑳. Use it to turn the
Belt Lifter all the way to the left (counter-clockwise) until
2
the red arrows line up (see page 9). Return the handle on
the Belt Lifter to its closed position.
Then lower the Headlight Hood.
The Brush Roll is now disengaged and your Sentria system
will operate as a Straight Suction Cleaner. ❏
THE HARD FLOOR PAD (optional)
By attaching the optional Hard Floor Pad to your Sentria® system
you may dust bare floors. While the unit is turned OFF, raise the Power
Nozzle as far as it will go by pressing the Toe-Touch Control Bottom
Pedal ⑨. Attach the Hard Floor Pad onto the nozzle opening using the
spring clips on the plate. Then lower the Power Nozzle by pressing the
Toe-Touch Control Upper Pedal ⑧ one notch at a time until the
bristles touch the floor.
NOTE: The Hard Floor Pad should only be used when the unit is
in the Straight Suction Cleaner mode. ❏

Before installing the Hard Floor Pad, turn unit OFF, unplug the power cord
13
Upright & Portable Cleaner
PORTABLE CLEANER SET-UP
Besides being a remarkable Upright Cleaner, the Sentria® system
can easily be converted into a portable cleaner for mattresses and
carpeted stairs.
To convert your Sentria system to a Portable Cleaner, make sure
the unit is turned OFF, unplugged, and the Tech Drive® pedal is
1
in neutral.
Then release the Outer Permanent Bag Top from the Bag Support by
pressing the Bag Release Button ⑯ and sliding the bag top off. ➤
Remove the cord from the handle. With the Upright Handle ⑰ in
the vertical position, push the Handle Release Button ⑭, located
2
at the base of the handle, and pull the handle straight up and out of
the slot. (Bag not shown for clarity.) ➤
Insert the Portable Handle ⑮ into the slot where the Upright
Handle was connected. Push the Portable Handle into the slot
3
until it snaps into place. ➤
Bend the Filtration Bag Assembly ① in half and insert the
Bag Latch Tab ② into the slot on the Portable Handle until it
4
snaps into place.
You are now ready for portable power cleaning. ❏
NOTE: Do not use portable mode on upholstered furniture.
14
Upright & Portable Cleaner
CARPETED STAIRS
Place your Sentria® system on one of the carpeted steps, while supporting
the rear. Turn the unit on after it is in place and make sure the Tech Drive
pedal is in the Neutral position.
Roll the cleaner back and forth so that the Brush Roll agitates the
carpeting and loosens the dirt. ❏
MATTRESS CLEANING
Cleaning mattress surfaces is done the same as carpeted stairs, except
that you need to disengage the Brush Roll. (If your mattress has tufted
buttons on the surface, the Brush Roll could pull them loose.) Also,
to avoid potential snags in delicate mattress fabric, leave the sheet or
mattress cover on the bed when vacuuming.
NOTE: Do not carry the portable unit with the motor on. Place the unit
on the surface you wish to clean and then turn the unit on. Turn the unit
off to move it to a new location.
For straight suction cleaning, raise the Headlight Hood and flip out
the handle on the Belt Lifter ⑳. Use it to turn the Belt Lifter all the way
to the left (counter-clockwise) until the red arrows line up. This will
stop the Brush Roll from turning.
Return the handle on the Belt Lifter to its closed position and lower the
Headlight Hood. Use the Toe-Touch Control to adjust the Power Nozzle
to its lowest setting. ❏
®
CAUTION:
!
Also make sure Tech Drive® pedal is in the neutral position when vacuuming stairs and mattresses.
In addition, the Brush Roll should be disengaged when vacuuming mattresses.
To reduce risk of injury in the portable mode, keep hair and loose clothing
away from the
Sentria
system while in operation.

Canister Cleaner
Using the Attachments
Using the Suction Control Grip
Using as a Blower Unit
Using the Portable Sprayer and the
Portable Shampooer
CONVERTING TO A CANISTER CLEANER/
INSTALLING THE ATTACHMENT HOSE
