The Turbocat is driven by a turbine rather than electricity and has an agitator which shakes the carpet to loosen dirt making vacuuming easier and more efficient.

• Automatic pile height adjustment

• System Performance Indicator--

slows the vacuum down when airflow is lost which indicates that dirt is not being picked up.

erhead: To attach your metal wand, simply twist into Powerhead elbow until it fits snugly. The built-in locking mechanism will prevent the wand from coming loose from your Powerhead while in use. To detach wand, use your hand to depress the tab on the side of the elbow and twist wand free. (See Fig. 1).

The wand can be locked in an upright position by pushing it forward until the lock is engaged (See Fig. 2). This locked position is convenient for storage and for lifting the Powerhead. To release wand from the vertical locked position, gently place foot on Powerhead, grasp wand and pull back firmly.

FIG. 2

Your Turbine Powerhead has no “on/off” switch. Whenever it is attached to an operating vacuum system, it will be running. No adjustments to the tool are necessary for different types of carpeting.

1. Follow instructions 1 & 2 under cleaning the intake nozzle on pg. 3.

2. Remove the three screws holding the metal baseplate, pull the base plate off, and remove the lower belt shroud. Then, pull the bumper up (Fig. 5).

3. Removing the brush roller and shaft supports--it is important to reinsert the shaft supports in the correct direction. There is an arrow on each shaft support that points to the back of the housing when inserted correctly. To easily identify the correct position for reinsertion, mark the top of the shaft supports with a permanent marker or nail polish. Pull the brush roller out--the shaft supports will come with it.

4. Slide the belt off the turbine sprocket and off the brush roller.

The needle bearing sits at an angle. The flat side of the washer goes to the rear. The flat side of the idler shaft goes to the front. Be sure the needle bearing is reinserted as shown to ensure proper operation (Fig. 6).

6. Place new belt on turbine sprocket and slide over brush roller. Be sure belt is properly twisted to the right as shown in the illustration (Fig. 5A).

7. Place brush roller and shaft supports back into housing. Push bumper back onto housing (Fig. 5B).

8. Place metal base plate onto housing and reinsert three screws.
