PARKING BRAKE

Both models are equipped with a Parking Brake. The parking brake will lock one wheel to prevent the vacuum from rolling.

To engage parking brake, use your toe to depress the brake button. The brake will snap into the locked position.

To disengage parking brake, use your toe to pull up on the brake button until it snaps into the unlocked position.

TOP FILTER

Both models are equipped with a top filter. If vacuum efficiency is reduced (indicating a clogged filter), proceed as follows:

1.Turn the Vacuum Cleaner switch to the “OFF” position. Grasp handle (C) Fig. 6 and pull out (approximately one and one-half inches), then release. Repeat several times. This action “shakes” the filter to remove loose dirt.

2.Switch Vacuum Cleaner “ON” and check performance. If still unsatis- factory, switch Vacuum Cleaner “OFF” and continue to step 3.
