DANGER:
Improper use of the grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock.
ROUNDING
G
NSTRUCTIONS
I
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.
GROUNDING
METHODS
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)
WARNING:
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.
Treat this vacuum as you would any other high grade precision made product. Dropping, unreasonable bumping across thresholds and other misuses may result in a damaged unit which will not be cov­ered by warranty.
Read this manual completely before oper­ating the vacuum. It is important to follow instructions in this manual to prevent the possibility of injury or damage to the user and/or vacuum.

ou de blessure:
POUR APPAREIL SEC
Pour réduire les risques de choc électrique, ne pas aspirer
de maitières humides, ne pas exposer à la pluie et garder
l'aspirateur à l'intérieur.
L'utilisation d'un appareil électrique demande certaines précautions:
:
1} Ne pas laisser l'appareil sans surveil­lance lorsqu'il est branché. Débrancher lorsque l'appareil n'est pas utilise ét avant l'entretien.
2} Ne pas permettre aux enfants de jouer avec l'appareil. Une attention par­ticulière est nécessaire lorsque l'ap­pareil est utilisé par des enfants ou à proxim­ité de ces derniers.
3} N'utiliser que conformément à cette notice avec les accessoires recom­mandés par le fabricant.
4} Ne pas utiliser si le cordon ou la fiche est endommagé. Retourner l'appareil à un atelier de réparation s'il ne fonct­ionne pas bien, s'il est tombé ou s'il a été endommagé, oublié à l'extérieur ou immergé.

This vacuum is designed to efficiently clean large areas of carpets. It also per­forms very well on hard surface floors. The heavy duty motor provides power for the brush and rotating fan. The large capacity filter bag, foot switch and foot pedal for nozzle height adjustment pro­vide convenient operation.
The Chevron pattern brush pushes dirt toward center of the brush and vacuum inlet for pickup.
In areas where more than average dirt is present, it is recommended that a second pass be made over the surface.
Back up the vacuum to lift carpet nap, thus helping to remove the heavy, deep dirt or sand.
This vacuum must be connected to the correct power source to correspond to the data on the name plate.
ABOUT THE
WIDE AREA
VACUUM

2} Flip the handle up into the upright posi­tion and secure in place with the speed pin attached to the handle bracket.
3) Remove cloth filter bag from the carton and attach it to vacuum with zipper, facing the front of the unit. Stretch mouth of the bag completely over discharge port on bact of vacuum.See fig 2.
4} Assemble the hose and bag adaptor to the cast discharge deflector at rear of the vacuum, with bag adaptor facing front of unit. See fig 2.
5} Install a paper filter bag to the bag adaptor by grasping the bag’s cardboard collar, pulling it forward on to the adaptor.
OPERATION
INSTRUCTIONS
1} When removing the dust bag or inspecting the blower fan and brush, dis­connect power cord plug from the wall out­let.
2} The brush belt guard and thread guard are designed to prevent threads and strings from binding the brush. Inspect the brush frequently for obstructions and removed them to prevent damage to bris­tles.
3) DO NOT pickup large metal slugs, metal shavings or similar debris. Also, care must be taken so as not to suck up loose carpet or other such bulky articles.
4} When the vacuum is not in use or in storage, to prevent damage, lift brush bris­tles off the floor.
5} Wrap the power cord around the han­dle when the vacuum is not in use.

OPERATION
AND CARE
INFORMATION
BRUSH NOZZLE
AND BELT
ADJUSTMENT
Brush Adjustment
The top pedal at the right rear is used to adjust the brush up from the carpet floor. There are five basic setting that can be changed by adjusting the front caster height. Adjust the caster so it provides level contact of the bristles to the carpet floor.
To lower the brush, depress the lower pedal at right rear of the vacuum, using slow positive pressure, release one notch of ratchet at a time.
Nozzle Adjustment
The nozzle should be set for various car­pet nat heights. Carpets with low nap use the lower settings, high nap the high­er settings. The highest settings consis­tent with good cleaning should be used for the type of carpet being cleaned.
Setting nozzle lower than necessary may not result in good cleaning per­formance. Excessive wear to the car­pet and brush bristles occurs and the vacuum is difficult to push.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cloth Filter Bag
The outside cloth filter bag should be kept clean for best cleaning results.
To Clean:
1} Release velcro bag strap, remove
paper filter bag and cloth bag. Turn the cloth bag inside out through the zipper opening and shake out bag.
2} Replace the cleaned cloth filter bag and install a new paper filter bag.
Brush Assembly
When the brush assembly is worn is must be replaced.
To Replace:
1} Remove the belt cover, screws (2)
at each end of the brush housing.
2} Remove the bracket, thread guard, install new brush and re-
assemble.
3} Replace belt and adjust as instructed above
Belt Adjustment
Adjust the belts for wear by loosening the brush mounting screws. Pull the brush forward until the belt is taut, retighten the screws.
See brush assembly schematic, parts list and fig 1.
Power Cord
Check the power cord for worn spots, and breaks. Replace if defective for safe­ty of the operator.
When the vacuum is not in use wrap the cord around the handle.
HELPFUL CLEANING TIPS
1} On heavily soiled carpet, push the vacuum back and forth. This lifts the carpet pile and helps remove dirt.
1} On hard floor surfaces use the lowest setting.

1} Airborne dust is kept to a minimum when the cloth filter bag and paper filer bag are kept clean.
