HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls, check the bag, belt and brush roll often.
Quick Kleen® Fan Chamber
(800 Series Models Only)
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before cleaning.
The clear, removable fan chamber cover provides easy inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of the fan chamber. Removing the cover provides easy access to the motor fan. Grease buildup, dirt, or other obstructions, visible through the fan cover, should be removed. To clean the fan area, take off the chrome bottom plate by releasing the two cam locks (see Brush Roll Belt, Figure 1
and 2). Remove the belt from the motor pulley, then loosen and remove the screws on either side of the fan cover, as indicated by the arrows. Push the cam locks outward against the wheels to lift the cover from the cleaner base. Dirt and obstructions can easily be cleared; however, caked grease may need to be scraped from the cover and the cleaner. If the fan does not turn freely, it also should be removed for cleaning. To remove the fan, place a wrench over the motor pulley. Hold the fan blades with one hand and turn the wrench counterclockwise. Remove the motor pulley and lift the fan off the motor shaft. Clean the area and replace the fan over the motor shaft. Tighten the motor pulley snugly clockwise
Dust Bag
Dust bags play a very important role in the efficiency of a vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the dust bag is to trap dirt. But at the same time the bag fabric must be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the bag fabric becomes clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place regardless of how powerful the unit is. To keep the cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, empty the dust bag frequently. Some fine particles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag appears to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, the bag may need to be emptied more often.
How To Empty Reusable Dust Bag
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before servicing the bag. Never operate the vacuum cleaner without the dust bag.
