SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Turn off
the switch and unplug the electrical cord when not in use and
before servicing.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary
when used by or near children.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturerʼs
recommended attachments.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner is
not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center
before using.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close door
on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not
run vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces.
• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only (refer to Grounding
Instructions).
• Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current
carrying capacity.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not
the cord.
• Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any
opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that
may reduce airflow.
• This vacuum cleaner creates suction and contains a revolving
brush roll. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of
body away from openings and moving parts.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as
cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not use without dust bag in place.
• Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent
burns, avoid touching the belt pulley when servicing the drive
belt.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as
gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.

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 having an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must 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, have 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 temporary 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.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE
Assembly Packet
The assembly packet is with the ownerʼs guide. The packet contains two
2-part bolts (A) and two cord hooks (B) and (C). An extra drive belt is also
included with some models.
Step 1
Assemble the Handle
Slip the upper handle and the lower handle together so the handle bolt holes
align and the slots in the handle are positioned as shown in Detail A. Insert
a 2-part bolt (A) in the center of the handle and tighten.
Hold the assembled handle so it curves away from the cleaner. Then push
the handle into the handle socket (D) at the rear of the cleaner. Align the
holes, insert the other 2-part bolt (A), and tighten.
Step 2
Attach Upper Cord Hook
Pull the spring on the electrical cord upward toward the top of the handle.
Make sure slots in handle are positioned properly, see Detail A.
Insert the lower half of the spring into the upper cord hook, as shown in

Step 3
Attach Lower Cord Hook
Insert the power cord into the lower cord hook (C), as shown. Snap
the hook into the lower handle. Pull up on the cord to tighten but leave
enough slack near the base so the cord is not strained when the handle
is lowered. Wrap the cord around the two cord hooks. Fasten the plug
to the cord to prevent unwinding.

Step 4
Install The Bag
Insert the bag adapter clip (E) on the bottom of the bag collar into the
bag adapter retainer (F).
Push the bag collar up and forward so the locator lug slides (G) into
the slot indicated by the arrow. Then turn the cam latch (H) to lock the
bag onto the rivet (I).
Loop the spring from the top of the bag onto the bag support located
to the back of the upper cord hook, see Detail C.

HOW TO USE
The upright vacuum cleaner is designed to be used on multiple types of carpeting. Do not
attempt to use the upright vacuum cleaner on bare floors, as damage to the floor covering
may result. Above the floor cleaning tools are available (optional).
Handle Adjustment
With the tip of the foot, press down to release the handle lock located at the left rear
side of the cleaner. Move the handle and adjust it to the desired position for (1) storing
upright, (2) operating the cleaner at a comfortable height for the user, and (3) cleaning
underneath low furniture.
Power Switch
The power switch is mounted on the motor hood near the handle. Switch style varies by
model and may differ from the illustration. A push with the foot turns the motor ON; push
again to turn the motor OFF.

Edge Kleener
Edge Kleener feature provides for improved cleaning of carpets near walls and stationary
furniture. Slots on the sides of the nozzle increase air flow to the edges of the cleaner
and add to the cleaning efficiency of the cleaner. To operate, simply run cleaner along edge board. Edge Kleener operates
instantly and automatically.
®
Cord Storage
The cleaner has two convenient cord storage hooks attached to the handle. Wind the cord around the hooks and fasten the
plug to the cord to prevent unwinding.
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.
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 to the lowest setting. 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.
Quick Kleen® Fan Chamber
(800 Series Models Only)
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the
electrical cord before cleaning.
The clear, removable fan chamber
cover provides easy inspection,
cleaning, and maintenance of
the fan chamber. Removing the
cover provides easy access to
the motor fan. Grease buildup,
dirt, or other obstructions, visible
through the fan cover, should be
removed. To clean the fan area,
take off the chrome bottom plate
by releasing the two cam locks
(see Brush Roll Belt, Figure 1
and 2). Remove the belt from the motor pulley, then loosen
and remove the screws on either side of the fan cover, as
indicated by the arrows. Push the cam locks outward against
the wheels to lift the cover from the cleaner base. Dirt and
obstructions can easily be cleared; however, caked grease
may need to be scraped from the cover and the cleaner. If
the fan does not turn freely, it also should be removed for
cleaning. To remove the fan, place a wrench over the motor
pulley. Hold the fan blades with one hand and turn the wrench
counterclockwise. Remove the motor pulley and lift the fan
off the motor shaft. Clean the area and replace the fan over
the motor shaft. Tighten the motor pulley snugly clockwise
with the wrench. If necessary, replace the fan cover or the
gasket with replacement parts.
Be sure the fan cover gasket is in place. Reposition the fan
cover by first placing the exhaust end into place between the
large rear wheels. Seat the fan cover firmly. Next replace
the belt and bottom plate as the pressure from the bottom
plate helps seal the fan cover. Start the two screws by hand
to be sure they are straight, then tighten.
Order fan chamber cover replacement kit (fan cover,
gasket, two screws) Part No. 52334.
Dust Bag
Dust bags play a very important role in the efficiency of a
vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the dust bag is to trap dirt.
But at the same time the bag fabric must be porous enough to
allow air to pass through. If the bag fabric becomes clogged,
no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can
take place regardless of how powerful the unit is. To keep
the cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, empty the dust
bag frequently. Some fine particles can restrict airflow very
quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag
appears to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming carpet
fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine
substances, the bag may need to be emptied more often.
How To Empty Reusable Dust Bag
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the
electrical cord before servicing the
bag. Never operate the vacuum cleaner
without the dust bag.
1. Pull bag out open end of clamp.

2. Turn cam latch (A) on bag collar to release
3. Place top of bag into appropriate container. Hold bag collar
and shake vigorously several times. (Bag can be turned
wrong side out and brushed with a whisk broom.)
Cleaner Care
CAUTION: 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.

brush roll or the anodized aluminum spiral brush roll. Follow
the instructions for the type of brush roll featured on the cleaner.

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.
