air to the room.

Check agitator shield

Because your cleaner picks up so well,
we strongly recommend you check for
debris accumulation under the agitator
shield each time you clean the filters.
Removing debris under the shield will
help maintain your cleaner’s excellent
pick up and suction. Remove debris as
follows:
1. Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
2. Check for dirt accumulation by remov-
ing bottom plate (Fig. 3-18), removing
agitator (Fig. 3-19), and lifting agitator
shield (Fig. 3-22).
3. Remove any debris and replace
shield, agitator and bottom plate (Figs.
3-22 to 3-24).
