Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord ha ving an equipment-grounding conductor
and grounding plug. The plug m ust be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor can result in 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
appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, hav e proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter which looks like the
adapter illustrated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle,
as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporar y adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet, Figure A, can be installed by a qualified
electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.

INSTRUCTIONS VISANT LA MISE À LA TERRE
Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En cas défaillance ou de panne éventuelles, la
mise à la terre fournit au courant un chemin de moindre résistance qui réduit le risque
de choc électrique. Cet appareil est pourvu d’un cordon muni d’un conducteur de terre
et d’une fiche avec broche de terre. La fiche doit être branchée dans une prise appropriée
correctement installée et mise à la terre conformément aux règlements et ordonnances
municipaux.
AVERTISSEMENT
Un conducteur de terre mal raccordé peut entraîner un risque de choc électrique.
Consulter un électricien ou un technicien d’entretien qualifié si vous n’êtes pas certain
que la prise est correctement mise à la terre. Ne pas modifier la fiche fournie avec
l’appareil-si elle ne peut être insérée dans la prise, faire installer une prise adéquate
par un électricien qualifié.
NOTE. Au Canada, l’utilisation d’un adaptateur temporaire n’est pas autorisée par le
Code canadien de l’électricité.
Cet appareil est destiné à un circuit de 120 V et est muni d’une fiche de mise à la terre
semblable à celle illustrée par le Figure A. S’assurer que l’appareil est branché à une
prise de courant ayant la même configuration que la fiche. A ucun adaptateur ne devrait
être utilisé avec cet appareil.

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.
Adjust the vacuum cleaner height setting to match the carpet pile height. Refer to the
following chart of recommended settings for carpet types.
The front of the cleaner has either a
knob or slide adjustment which raises
or lowers the cleaner base to match the
type of carpet. With the cleaner cord
unplugged, set the adjustment
according to the table as a starting point.
While the cleaner is off and
disconnected from the outlet, place
the handle in the operating position, tilt
the cleaner back to remove the weight
from the wheels, and adjust the setting.
Then plug the cleaner into the electrical

outlet, turn on the switch, lower the
handle, and pass the cleaner over the
carpet. If the cleaner is still difficult to
push, follow the procedure and test the
cleaner at the next higher setting.
Continue testing the setting until the
cleaner is comfortable to move. Moving
the knob or slide to the next higher
setting raises the brush roll slightly,
making the cleaner easier to push.
However, the brush roll must make
contact with the carpet for effective cleaning.
HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To
avoid unnecessary service calls, check the bag, belt and brush roll often.
Cleaner Care
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before cleaning unit.
To keep the vacuum cleaner looking new, it can be wiped with a damp cloth and a mild
soap solution, then thoroughly dried. Never use any type of chemical as chemicals
can damage the cleaner. When not in use, the cleaner should be stored in a clean, dry
place.

EZ Kleen® Dust Cup and Bag
The cloth bag and the dust cup play a very important role in the efficiency of the
vacuum cleaner. The cloth bag allows air to move through the cleaner while it traps
dirt inside the cloth bag and the dust cup. When dirt particles cling to the cloth bag
they can restrict airflow , If air cannot pass through the cloth bag, no cleaning can tak e
place regardless of how powerful the unit. Some fine particles can restrict airflow very
quickly and will decrease performance even before the dust cup appears to be full.
For that reason, when vacuuming powder , flour dust, or similar fine substances , it ma y
be necessary to turn off the cleaner and empty the dust cup more often.
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before emptying the

Brush Roll
As the brush roll rotates, it sweeps and combs the carpet nap. Remove hair and threads
from the brush roll so it continues brushing the carpet nap. When the bristles of the
brush roll no longer touch a straight edge held across the bottom plate, the brush roll
is ineffective because the bristles no longer touch the carpet nap. To maintain the most
effective cleaning, use a ne w wood brush roll. Replace the brush strips on the chromed
steel brush roll.
How To Replace Worn Brush Strips (chromed steel brush roll)
NOTE: Turn off the s witch and unplug the electrical cor d before replacing brush
strips.
New brush strips are supplied in sets of two, one long and one short. To replace,

Brush Roll Belt
The brush roll belt on the upright vacuum cleaner drives the brush to agitate, sweep,
and comb the carpet nap. The belt should be checked regularly to be sure it is in good
condition. Replace the belt if it is stretching, cracking, or slipping. Cut away any hair or
thread wound around the brush roll or the belt pulley because the buildup could cause
the belt to rotate unevenly.
How To Replace A Worn Belt
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before replacing belt.
Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent burns, avoid
touching the belt pulley when servicing the drive belt.
