USING YOUR VACUUM IN LIFT-AWAY® MODE ABOVE-FLOOR CLEANING
STEP 1 STEP 2 STEPS 3 + 4
NOTE: You can carry your
vacuum cleaner in both modes by the carry handle located on top of the dust cup.
1 Separate the portable Lift-
Away pod from the floor nozzle by pressing the red release button on the side of the pod. Gently hold the nozzle to the floor with your foot and pull the pod up.
2 Press the handle release
button and pull the handle up, or press the extension wand release button and pull the extension wand up.
3 Attach desired accessory
onto the end of either the extension wand or the handle.
4 Press the On/Off switch to
the “I” position for above­floor cleaning. Hold the handle in one hand while you carry the portable Lift­Away around the house with the other hand.
SUCTION RELEASE COLLAR
Due to the huge suction power of this vacuum, it may become necessary at times to adjust the suction release collar on the handle. If the vacuum seems difficult to push or pull, if it is lifting up area rugs or when cleaning delicate above-floor surfaces such as drapes, reduce the suction by rotating the collar counterclockwise to open the valve. Rotate the collar clockwise to close the valve when you need high suction and for vacuuming floors and when using the Air-Driven Pet Brush.
CLEAN ABOVE THE FLOOR IN UPRIGHT VAC OR PORTABLE LIFT­AWAY® MODE
1 Press the handle release button and pull
the handle up, or press the extension wand release button and pull the extension wand up.
2 Attach desired accessory onto the end of
either the extension wand or the handle.
3 Press the On/Off switch to the “I” position
for above-floor cleaning.
NOTE: Ensure vacuum is in upright position. DO NOT use position “II” when cleaning
above the floor in the upright vac mode as this will engage the brushroll. The brushroll may damage your floor if run for a prolonged period of time in one area.

STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce
the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn off power and unplug unit before servicing.
NOTE: DO NOT use soap when cleaning the filters. Hand wash filters only with water to prevent damage from cleaning chemicals. Allow ALL filters to air-dry completely before replacing them in the vacuum to prevent liquid from being drawn into electricpar ts. DO NOT use a hair dryer or other heating methods to dry.
CLEANING THE PRE-MOTOR FILTERS 1 Remove the dust cup. 2 Pull the 2 filters out from the top of the
motor base.
3 Rinse the filters thoroughly in lukewarm
water until the water runs clear.
4 Squeeze out excess water and let air-dry
for at least 24 hours before replacing.
5 Place the felt filter in first, then the foam
fil te r. 6 Replace the dust cup. NOTE: DO NOT put the filter in the washing
machine or dishwasher. NOTE: The material in the filter will discolor
over time. This is normal, and will not affect the performance of the filter.
EMPT YING THE DUST CUP
The dust cup needs to be emptied each time you vacuum and periodically during cleaning, when the dust cup appears full.
1 Undo the latches on the sides of the dust
cup by lifting them up and outwards to remove the dust cup from the motor base.
2 Hold the dust cup over a trash receptacle
and press the bottom-door release button. Tap gently to empty contents. Press the door shut again until it clicks.
3 If needed, turn the dust cup upside down
over the trash receptacle and press the top-door release button. Tap gently to remove contents.
Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove
debris stuck to the screen filter inside the dust cup. Press the door shut again until it clicks.
4 Replace the dust cup on top of the motor
base. Hook the two latches onto the tabs on the sides of the dust cup and push down to lock.

CLEANING THE MOTORIZ ED FLOOR NOZZLE
When your motorized floor nozzle needs cleaning or locks onto an object, it automatically shuts down to prevent damage to your lifetime belt. The indicator light will illuminate red, warning you to turn off the vacuum and clear blockage immediately. The light will reset itself once blockage has been cleared and power has been cycled on/off, or vacuum has been locked in the upright position.
1 Detach the motorized floor nozzle from the
portable Lift-Away
®
pod.
2 Inspect the opening underneath and the
brushroll. If a buildup of debris is present,
remove it. Use scissors to carefully cut
away anything wound around the brushroll.
CLEANING THE AIR-DRIVEN PET BRUSH
1 Slide the locking latch forward and gently
tilt brush housing upward to remove.
2 Carefully remove any blockage or debris
and use scissors to cut away any buildup of hair or string around the rotating bristle brush.

edge of the bottom cover into the matching holes in the top half and tilt it back down until it clicks into place.
MAINTENANCE - cont’d
CLEANING THE POST-MOTOR HEPA FILTER 1 Remove the filter cover from the front of the vacuum by
pulling up on the tab and pulling the cover away from the vacuum. Take out the HEPA filter by pulling it straight out.
2 Turn the filter over so that the dir ty side is on the bottom
and vigorously tap it clean against a garbage can to remove any dust.
3 Hold the filter under the tap with the dirty side facing down.
Rinse with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Allow filter to air-dry for 24 hours.
4 Once the HEPA filter is dry, replace it back into the vacuum. 5 Replace the cover by inserting the two tabs into the holes
at the top and then swinging the cover down until it clicks into place.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn off power and unplug unit before servicing.
NOTE: DO NOT use soap when cleaning the filters. Hand wash filters only with water to prevent damage from cleaning chemicals. Allow ALL filters to air-dry completely before replacing them in the vacuum to prevent liquid from being drawn into electricpar ts. DO NOT use a hair dryer or other heating methods to dry.

WARNING: To reduce
the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn off power and unplug unit before servicing.
TIP: Make sure you are working in a well-lit area and use a flashlight to help search for blockages.
CHECKING FOR BLOCKAGES
Blockages may cause your vacuum to overheat and shut down. To prevent this from happening, check potential blockage areas after heavy use, or if you detect a loss of suction or poor cleaning performance.
1 Detach the stretch hose from the back of the portable Lift-
Away
®
pod by squeezing the tabs together and pulling up.
Check the hose and pod openings for blockages.
2 Remove the dust cup and extension wand and separate
the portable Lift-Away pod from the motorized floor nozzle. Check all openings for any blockages.
3 Detach the hose on the motorized floor nozzle at the top
by squeezing the tabs together and pulling out, and at the bottom by pulling out the connector. Check all openings for any blockages.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Vacuum is not picking up debris� No suction or light suction�
(Refer to Maintenance section for more information�)
Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and drying the filters before reinserting in the vacuum.
Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
Check hose, hose connections, wand, nozzles, and accessories for blockages; clear blockages if
required.
Remove any string, carpet fibers, or hair that may be wrapped around the brushroll.
Rotate the suction release collar on the handle clockwise to increase suction power.
Vacuum lifts area rugs�
Turn off unit to disengage the brushroll. Move switch to position “l” (bare floors) for suction-only cleaning, and turn unit back on.
Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.
Rotate the suction release collar on the handle counterclockwise to decrease suction power.
Brushroll does not spin�
If Brushroll Indicator Light on the motorized floor nozzle turns red, the brushroll has stopped spinning. Immediately turn off and unplug vacuum, disconnect the nozzle, and remove blockage before reconnecting and turning vacuum back on.
With the power on, recline the handle, which will automatically turn on the brushroll.
Make sure the On/Off switch is set to position “II”, Brushroll ON.
Vacuum turns o on its own or indicator light flashes red�
This vacuum is equipped with a motor-protective thermostat. If your vacuum overheats, the thermostat will automatically turn the suction motor off. Perform the following steps to restart thethermostat:
1. Turn vacuum off and unplug it.
2. Empty dust cup and clean filters (see Maintenance section).
3. Check for blockages in hose, accessories, and inlet openings.
4. Allow unit to cool for a minimum of 45 minutes.
5. Plug in vacuum and turn it on.
If hose is not fully connected to the pod, it can cause a poor electrical connection and the hose can come loose, turning the vacuum off.
1. Turn vacuum off and unplug it.
2. Empty dust cup and clean filters.
3. Check for blockages in hose, accessories, and inlet openings.
4. Remove cord from cord hook so hose latch can be seen and engaged.
5. Ensure that hose, wand, and handle are all clicked securely into place at all connection points: a. Where hose meets back of pod (may require additional force; pull on hose to ensure latch is
fully engaged) b. Where wand plugs into floor nozzle c. Where handle plugs into wand
6. Plug in vacuum and turn it on.
