SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This vacuum cleaner will afford you many years of trouble-free operating satisfaction, provided it is given proper care. All parts have passed rigid quality control standards prior to being assembled to produce the finished product. Prior to packaging, this vacuum was again inspected for assurance of flawless assembly.
Your vacuum is protectively packed to pre­vent damage in shipment. We recommend that upon delivery, unpack the vacuum and inspect it for any possible damage. Only a visual examination will reveal damage that may have occurred.

E
lectric shock could occur if used on wet surfaces.
DO NOT expose to rain - Store Indoors
When using this electric vacuum, basic precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
If damage is discovered, immediately notify the transportation company that delivered your vacuum. As a shipper, we are unable to report claims for concealed damage. You must originate any claims within 5 days.
This manual is for your protection and information. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY since failure to follow precautions could result in discomfort or injury.
:
ARNING
1) DO NOT leave the vacuum when plugged in. Unplug it from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.
2) This is NOT a toy. Close attention is necessary when used around or near children.
3) Use this vacuum only as described in this safety manual. Use only manu­facturer’s recommended attachments and accessories.
4) DO NOT use the vacuum with dam­aged cord or plug. If the vacuum is not working as it should, because it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, contact an authorized service center or factory.
5) DO NOT pull vacuum by the cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on the cord or pull cord around sharp edges and corners. DO NOT run vacuum over the cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
6) DO NOT unplug the vacuum by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
7) DO NOT handle the vacuum plug or vacuum with wet hands.
8) DO NOT put any objects into open­ings. DO NOT use with any openings blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
9) Turn OFF all of the controls before unplugging.
10) Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.
11) DO NOT pick up anything that is smoking or burning such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
12) DO NOT use without dust bag and/or filters in place.
13) Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
14) DO NOT use this vacuum to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.
15) DO NOT use where anesthetics or oxygen is used.
16) Replace damaged or worn parts immediately with genuine original equip­ment parts to maintain safety and to protect your limited warranty.
17) DO NOT use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary. If an exten­sion cord is used, then wire size must be #14 gauge or larger and should not exceed 50 feet in length. The extension cord must be three-wire type to insure GROUNDING protection.
This vacuum must be connected to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding instructions (Page 3).

DANGER:
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in
a risk of electric shock.

NSTRUCTIONS
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resist­ance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This vacuum is equipped with a cord having an equipment­grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropri­ate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This electric equipment is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illus­trated in (Fig A). A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in (Fig B & C) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in (Fig B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the ground­ed wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer sur­face that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green color rigid ear, lug or the like extending from the adaptor must be con­nected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. (See Fig B)

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT modify the plug provided with the equipment. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
SAFE-GUARD FEATURES
1. Plug the power cord into a 115 volt, 60 cycle receptacle.
2. Adjust the brush height knob to suit the carpet thickness you are working on. (See Fig D)
NOTE: On the 18" upright, you may need to set the height adjustment at (3) for low pile carpet during the (3 Months) break-in period.
Full Bag Indicator
Your vacuum has an indicator light which will flash RED if the bag is full or airflow is obstructed. When the indicator light is on, open the door and check the bag.
If the bag is full, replace it. If is not full and the light is ON, there is an obstruction in the system. Check the hose and wand first. If they are clear, check the inlet in the power brush base by removing wand from the inlet and viewing the air path from the inlet to the brush. If this area is clear, remove the bag and check deflector port in the top of vacuum housing.
Thermal Overload On Vacuum Motor
This vacuum is equipped with a sensor that shuts off the vacuum motor if the internal temperature is too high. This is normally created by an obstruction in the system cutting off the air flow.
If the motor stops during use:
A. Tur n OFF main switch. B. Unplug vacuum from receptacle. C. Inspect and remove obstruction.
The motor will automatically restart when the switch ON and when has motor cooled­sufficiently.
3. Turn the main power rocker switch to "ON". The vacuum motor will start (Fig E).
4. Depress the YELLOW foot pedal and
lower the handle to the operating position. When the handle is lowered, the brush motor will start. Use normal vacuuming procedures. (Fig F)
