Porter-Cable 7814 instruction manual Parking Brake, TOP Filter

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 “OFF.” 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.Turn the Vacuum Cleaner “ON” and check performance. If still unsatis- factory, turn the Vacuum Cleaner “OFF” and continue to step 3.

4.Pull upward on the filter cover lock, located on rear of the motor unit (see Fig. 7) to expose the filter.

5.Remove the filter (see Fig. 8) and tap it to remove any loose dirt.

6.If the filter is still dirty, clean it under running water (see Fig. 9). If this does not adequately clean the filter, replace it.

NOTE: Allow wet filter to dry before re-installing it in the appliance.
