Assembling
Your
Vacuum
Cleaner
-
Note:
Always
remove
the
power
plug
from the wall outlet before attaching or removing
accessories.
Important:
Do
NOT
use
the
vacuum
without
all
filters,
shake-out
bag,
and
HEPA
dust
bag
in
place.
6
1.
Unplug the power cord and remove the flexible hose.
2.
To open the canister lid, press on the canister lid tabs on each
side of the unit and lift canister lid. (Fig. 1)
(Fig. 1)
3.
Pull the tab on the HEPA dust bag holder out slightly and flip
upwards. (Fig. 2)
(Fig. 2)
4.
Holding the HEPA dust bag in your hand, slide it firmly
between the slots in the bag holder. (Fig. 2)
5.
The cardboard face to the new bag should rest securely in the
dust bag cover guidelines. (Fig. 3)
(Fig. 3)
6.
Ensure that the shake-out bag is in place. (Fig. 4)
(Fig. 4)
7
7.
Flip the HEPA bag holder over, pressing the tab on the bag
holder until it clicks, then replace the canister lid.
8.
The canister lid can be replaced on the unit with the hose
opening on the right or left, as per your preference. (Fig. 5)
(Fig. 5)
Attaching the Telescopic Tube to the Flexible Hose Handle
1.
Holding the telescopic tube, insert the handle into the
telescopic tube receptacle. Push the handle in. (Fig.6)
(Fig. 6)
2.
Push forward on the plastic button and pull the inner tube
outward to extend for a longer reach. (Fig. 7)
(Fig. 7)
3.
To remove the telescopic tube from the flexible hose, pull
on the telescopic tube and flexible hose handle to pull it out.
Manual Suction Control
Your vacuum cleaner includes a manual variable suction control on
the flexible hose handle. The suction power can be adjusted by
moving the suction regulator to the desired position between open
and closed. (Fig. 8)
8
Open gives you less suction, closed maximum suction. For
example, less suction is required on upholstery and draperies
compared to thick carpets, which require maximum suction.
(Fig. 8)
Using the Attachments
Air Driven Turbo Brush
The efficiency of your air driven turbo brush depends on
the bristle brush rotating at high speed. Strong air suction
is needed to accomplish this. In order to ensure that
maximum air suction is maintained, please read the
following instructions:
1.
Change the HEPA dust bag or empty the shake-out
bag frequently.
2.
Replace the pre-motor and exhaust filters as
needed.
3.
Ensure that the rotating brush is kept free of hair
and string, which may accumulate and decrease
brush performance.
4.
To attach the air driven turbo brush, insert the
telescopic tube into the air driven turbo brush.
5.
To adjust the suction control on the air driven turbo
brush, slide the suction control for more or less as
desired.
Blower Attachments
The blower attachments can be used with the vacuum to pick up
very fine dirt particles in tight crevices or spots, or to inflate
inflatable items or air mattresses. The blower attachments have air
bleed holes. These air bleed holes help relieve some air pressure
so
that the attachment does not blow off. However, should an
increase in air pressure be desired, simply cover one or more of the
air bleed holes.
9
1.
Pull up and hold the exhaust tab, with the free hand pull out
the exhaust filter cover grill. (Fig. 9)
(Fig. 9)
2.
Remove the exhaust filter.
3.
To place the power port into the exhaust outlet, align the
lower tabs on the blower port with the slots on the exhaust.
Pull up on the exhaust tab and push the tab and push the
top of the blower port until it snaps into place.
4.
To
attach
the
hose
to
the
blower
port,
align
the
flexible
hose
and
turn
counter-clockwise
until
it
stops.
The
hose
is
now
securely
in
place.
(Fig.
10)
(Fig. 10)
5.
To
blow
up
inflatable
items,
select
the
appropriate
size
blower
attachment
that
will
fit
into
the
air
valve.
6.
Turn
the
unit
on
and
hold
the
blower
attachment
and
air
valve
while
the
vacuum
exhaust
is
pumping
air
into
the
inflatable.
7.
To
detach
the
flexible
hose,
turn
clockwise
and
pull
out
from
blower
port.
Using
the
Blower
Attachments
The
blower
attachments
are
extremely
useful
for
vacuuming
in
hard
to
reach
crevices
and
small
compartments
such
as
in
cars.
Important Note:
When blocking the air holes. Grasp the blower
attachment firmly so that they do not blow off.
Do not use blower function to clear dust of fragile or delicate
objects unless they are secured or held firmly in place as the
blower action is quite strong and may cause damage.
10
Using Your Vacuum

Insert
the
power
plug into the wall outlet.
2.
Connect the hose, and telescopic tube if desired.
3.
Turn
the

12
Cleaning
the
HEPA
Pre-Motor
Filter
Important – Please Note:
The HEPA pre-motor filter
will
stop
most
dust
particles
and
airborne
allergens
from
re-entering
the
air
you
breathe.
T
he
HEPA
pre-motor
filter
will
accumulate
many
fine
dust
particles
that
are
difficult
to
see.
Be
assured
that
the
HEPA
pre-motor
filter
is
doing
the
job.
Clean
or
replace
the
HEPA
pre-
motor
filter
from
time
to
time,
when
it
is
visibly
dirty
or
if
you
notice
reduced
suction,
as
described
in
this
section.
1.
Remove
the
shake-out
bag
from
the
canister.
The
HEPA
pre-motor
filter
is
located
underneath
the
shake-out
bag.
Pull
up
near
the
tabs
on
the
sides
of
the
HEPA
filter.
This
is
a
press
fit
system.
2.
Vigorously
“Tap
Clean”
the
HEPA
pre-motor
filter
on
a
hard
surface
to
remove
any
residual
dust
that
might
still
be
on
the
HEPA
pre-motor
filter.
3.
You
can
wash
the
HEPA
pre-motor
filter
by
running
it
under
the
tap
and
allowing
the
water
to
run
on
the
dirty
side
at
least
once
a
month
or
when
suction
appears
to
be
decreased.
