Accessories

The GM 80CR offers a package of standard accessories that can be connected in the following manner. Affix the conductive plastic hose to the vacuum by inserting it into the orifice on the lower container. Once it is inserted, rotate the inlet coupler a quarter turn to lock it into place. Either of the straight 22 inch stainless steel wands can be fitted to the other end of the hose by snapping it in place. You can connect the floor nozzle or the upholstery nozzle to the end of the straight wand. The GM 80CR kit includes a conductive crevice nozzle and conductive 3 inch round brush, which can be attached to either the wands or to the curved steel tube at the end of the conductive plastic hose. A tool caddy (#01720600) is also included to provide easy onboard storage of accessories.

the container and down the outside then rolled at the end to permit the container clips to close.

Install a paper bag inside the polyliner according to the illustrations printed on the paper bag itself (photo 3). Replace the top container and fasten the two clips.

Note: Polyliners are optional. If you choose not to use a polyliner, follow the instructions to install the paper bag.

To empty the container and its contents, first turn off the motor. Allow the cleaner to sit undisturbed for at least thirty (30) seconds. Then twist and release the container clips. Once the seal is broken, turn on the motor again. This will prevent ultrafine particles which are still suspended in the air inside the container from escaping into the work place. Lift off the container top. Remove the polyliner and paper bag within it (photo 4). Then seal off the polyliner with the paper bag inside and install a new polyliner and paper bag according to step 2, Machine Setup.
