HOWTOADJUSTTHEBRUSH

The brush height adjustment has four settings. To adjust the setting, pull out the handle on the right-hand side of the front of the machine. Move the handle to the correct setting for your carpet. The setting is correct when the brush sweeps the surface of the carpet. The setting is too low when the brush wipes the carpet. See figures 3 and 4

For very low pile carpet, and for hard surface floors, put the adjustment lever in the farthest forward position.

HOWTOOPERATETHEMACHINE

Use the Models 590/590B Space Vac only on large areas of floor. Move the machine steadily forward and backward in short movements.

To clean near the wall, put the guide wheel on the right-hand side of the machine against the wall.

Stop when the performance of the machine decreases.

SERVICE

The following should be done by the operator when servicing the machine:

Keep the machine clean. It will have longer life and need fewer repairs.

For the best performance, remove the contents of the filter bag each time you finish using the machine. Sweep the inner surface of the bag for the best filter efficiency.

STORAGEOFTHEMACHINE

Before you put the machine in storage, clean the machine and the filter bag. Put the power cord around the top of the handle. To put the handle in the storage position, pull out the two knobs on the handle. Rotate the knobs ¼ turn. Put the handle forward into the storage position. Keep the machine in a storage area in a building.

CIRCUITBREAKER

The electrical circuit in the Model 590 is protected by a circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker opens, wait approximately 10 minutes for the machine to cool. Press the red button on the right-hand side of the machine to reset the circuit breaker. See figure 5. You can feel the circuit breaker lock into the closed position.

Check the vacuum system and the brush for obstructions. Check the settings of the brush. Obstructions or an incorrect brush setting can make the motor too hot.
