REPAIR INSTRUCTION

FC9124 /A

- Item 4, cotton dustbag, is used in countries in which paper

dustbags are not available.

- If the reel half spring unit is replaced, shaft A must be
lubricated with silicone grease. Do not apply any silicone
grease to or spill any grease on terminals (43) or conductors
(42).

- Item 40 is provided with a long cord-winder spring, but
both long and short cords can be used in combination with
this spring. (L = 9.3 m)

- Depending on the original cord, the spare cord must be
shortened to the length of the original cord.

- The cord winder spring must be tensioned to the maximum
level and then be rewound approx. 1.5 turn

- Item 13, air valve, opens to cool the motor if the air
displacement is too low or if the airflow is blocked.

- To adjust the telescopic tube (item 59) to the required
length, push the adjustment collar in the direction of the
arrow while sliding the top section of the telescopic tube
into or out of the lower section.

- If the function of the electronic control unit (item 12) is
not required, the Triac must be short-circuited in the
manner shown in the circuit diagram.

- When the vacuum cleaner is used to suck up fine dust the
pores of the dustbag may become clogged, causing the
passage of air through the dustbag to become obstructed.
As a result, the dustbag-full indicator will indicate that the
dustbag needs to be replaced, eventhough the dustbag is not
full at all.

- To replace the side brushes (item 63a), the nozzle must be
switched as used on hard floors.

- Due to introduction of a new switch (item 11) 0320

onwards, which is not interchangable with the old switch
soldered on the PCB (item 12).

- The switch lever assy (item 11a) is also modified.
