SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This model is for household use only

WARNING

• Before using your vacuum, make sure the dirt container is in locked position and that all filters, both pre- and post-filters are in place. DO NOT operate your vacuum without these filters.
• Plastic film can be dangerous. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep away from children.
• Do not plug in your vacuum UNTIL you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.

THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way

Power On & Settings

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts while the vacuum is turned on, always move the vacuum via the rolling wheels by using the upper handle at the back of the vacuum. Do not carry the vacuum while it is running. Always place vacuum on floor with handle in upright position when using tools.

Press the red power button with your foot to turn the vacuum ON and once again to turn your vacuum OFF

Press the recline pedal and pull handle back towards you.

Turn the dial on the foot of the vacuum to the desired setting. If the dial is difficult to turn, tilt the vacuum back slightly to take the weight off the foot while turning.

Lowest setting

– For low pile carpet or bare floors. To pick up debris, it may be necessary to move up one setting.

Medium setting

– For medium pile carpet.

Highest setting

– For high pile and most shag carpet.

TIP: For optimal carpet cleaning performance, adjust to the lowest practical setting. If your vacuum is difficult to push, adjust to the next higher setting.

Automatic Cord Rewind

To plug your vacuum in, gently pull the cord out of the automatic cord rewind and stop at the yellow mark on the cord. Do not pull past the red mark. Once you have the desired amount of cord, plug it into the outlet.

When you finish using your vacuum, unplug it from the outlet. Hold onto the plug and press the automatic cord rewind button until it’s fully retracted. If the cord doesn’t fully retract on the first try, pull a little bit of cord out and press the rewind button again.

NOTE: Rotating floor brush continues to rotate while tools are in use. Never place fingers under the vacuum when it is running. Never place Powerfoot on furniture or uneven surfaces. Do not place vacuum close enough to objects to pull into rotating brush.

NOTE: Certain carpets and low humidity conditions may generate small static discharges. Static discharges are entirely harmless and are not associated in any way with the main power supply.

Empty the Dirt Tank

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn power switch off and disconnect polarized plug from electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.

Empty once tank is full.

Press the tank release button and pull out to remove dirt tank.

Maintain the TurboEraser® Tool

Replace Brush & Belt

WARNING

Unplug vacuum, turn over and unscrew six (6) Philips head screws to remove the bottom cover. Lift brush straight out.

Clean debris from brush roll. Inspect by placing on its end and spin. The brush roll should spin freely, multiple times by one flick. If it doesn’t, replace brush roll. Check belt for wear or cuts and replace if necessary.

Replace the brush roll and belt by looping the belt over the motor shaft and the brush roll. Line up the end caps and pull the brush forward into place. This will stretch the belt. Return bottom cover back on and replace the screws.

Clearing a Clog

Remove the hose from the back of the vacuum by twisting it to the left. Remove any debris that may have gotten clogged.

Check the foot hose on the back of your vacuum down towards the bottom. If necessary, remove the screw from the foot hose and check for clogs.
