1. Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
servicing.
2. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
3. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
5. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
6. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp
edges or corners. Do not run the appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surface.
7. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
8. Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
9. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint,

16. Store your cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.
17. Unplug before connecting the crevice nozzle.
18. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlets, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Store Electrical Cord
6. You will find your cord retainer either at the bottom of the upper cord hook or on
the handle above the upper cord hook. Firmly push the electrical cord down into
either cord retainer. This will place the cord out of the way the next time you
vacuum.
7. Next wind the cord around the two cod hooks on the one side of cleaner. On some
models the upper cord hook turns to release the cord. Turn the hook up to store the

Starting the vacuum cleaner
The upright vacuum cleaner design allows use on multiple types of carpeting and on
upholstery or bare floors with attachments. When using the attachment tools, place
the handle in the upright position. Do not place cleaner on furniture or steps as
the brush roll may cause damage.
1. Adjust cleaner height setting knob to lowest position for maximum cleaning.
Adjust to a higher setting to make pushing easier. For easy adjustments, tilt the
cleaner back to move the setting knob.
2. Plug electrical cord into outlet.
3. Step on handle release. Pull handle back to a comfortable position.
4. Push On or off power switch.

Cleaner Height Setting
Warning: Avoid injury, Keep loose clothing, hair, fingers, and all other parts of body
away from any moving part (such as the revolving brush). Turn off the switch and
unplug the cleaner before changing the cleaner height setting.
The front of the cleaner has an adjustment that raises or lowers the cleaner base to
match the type of carpet. With the cleaner cord unplugged, set the adjustment lowest
setting for maximum cleaning. If the cleaner is difficult to push, move adjustment to
next highest setting until cleaner is comfortable to push. The brush roll must reach the

carpet for effective cleaning.
Make each adjustment with cleaner switch off and cord disconnected from outlet.
For ease in moving the adjustment knob, place handle in operating position and tilt
cleaner back to remove weight from front wheels.
Thermal Cut-off
This cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of motor
overheating. If the cleaner suddenly turns off, follow this procedure:
1. Push on/off switch to “off” position
2. Unplug cleaner.
3. Check for source of overheating problem (i.e. full bag, clogged hose or clogged
filter).
4. If a full plug, clogged hose or clogged filter is found, replace the bag, unclog the
hose or replace the filters.
5. Wait at least 30 minutes before attempting to reuse the cleaner.
6. After 30 minutes cool down period, plug the cleaner in and push the rocker switch
to “on” position. The cleaner should turn on.
7. If cleaner still does not operate, take it to the service center for repair.
Bag change indicator
When the dust bag is full of dust, the indicator on the bag cover moves into the window
as the airflow through the bag decreases.. At this time, you should change the dust bag
to restore maximum performance.
If a clean dust bag does not restore maximum performance, check for obstructions in
the hose or airflow passage.

Extension tube (137004) to extend clean range.
Brush roller (137002)
The brush roll turns as it sweeps and combs the carpet nap. Remove hair and threads
from brush roll so it continues brushing the carpet. To maintain the most efficient
cleaning, the bristles must touch the carpet. To test the bristles length, hold a ruler
against the underneath side of the cleaner. If the bristles no longer touch the ruler,
replace the brush roll.
Brush roller belt (137001)
The brush roll belt turns the brush roll to agitate, sweep, and comb the carpet nap.
Check the belt regularly to be sure it is in good condition. Replace the belt if it is
stretches, cracks or loses tension. Cut away any hair or threads wound around the brush
roll or the belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate unevenly.

How to check and clear hose blockages
Note: Low suction or poor pick up may be due to a blockage in the vacuum cleaner.
Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before clearing hose.
1. Remove hose and check suction at end of hose-if little or no suction, check
disposal dust bag. Change if needed. If no improvement proceed to step 2.
2. Remove the handle from the vacuum cleaner by removing the two screws and
sliding the handle towards the rear.
3. Loosen another two screws, disconnect the attachment hose from the unit. Check
for any obstructions that may be in the hose. Any obstructions can be removed by
using a blunt instrument to clear the hose. Flexing the hose may help loosen the
clog.
4. Reinstall the hose after cleaning the clog. Make sure the hose is inserted into the
top of the vacuum cleaner before reattaching the handle.

Disposal dust bag and filters
Note: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before changing dust bag.
Never operate the vacuum cleaner without the dust bag or the filter.
The disposal dust bag plays a very important role in the efficiency of a vacuum cleaner.
The purpose of the paper bag is to trap dirt. As the bag traps dirt, it must also be porous
to allow air to pass on through. If the paper bag becomes clogged, no air can pass
through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place regardless of how powerful the unit.
Change the dust bag and check the filters frequently. Some fine particles can restrict
airflow very quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag appears to be
full.
When vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine
substances, the bag and filters may require more frequent maintenance.
