	power source.

Using The Unit With Air Driven Turbo Brush

The efficiency of your air driven turbo brush depends on the bristle brush rotating at high speed. Strong air suction is needed to accomplish this. In order to ensure that maximum air suction is maintained, please read the following instructions:

1.Empty the dust cup frequently.

2.Always "TAPCLEAN" the HEPA dust cup filter when emptying the dust cup container.

3.Ensure that the rotating brush is kept free of hair and string which may accumulate and decrease brush performance.

4.Keep Air Driven Turbo Brush turbine free of dirt and foreign matter. (See illustration below for cleaning instructions.)

Cleaning & Changing the HEPA Dust Cup Filter

Warning: Always unplug the unit from electrical outlet before opening

the Dust Cup (container).

Important: Do NOT use the HEPA filter cartridge without the debris screen in place.

Warning: After each Use - Always remove the Filter Debris Screen

from the HEPA Dust Cup Filter, then vigorously “TapClean” HEPA Filter until no more dust can be removed.

IMPORTANT, Please Note : The “TapClean” HEPA Dust Cup Filter & Debris Screen will stop most of the tiniest dust particles and airborne allergens from re-entering the air you breathe. In fact it stops 99.97% of all particles as small as

0.3microns - many times smaller than a human hair!!! Because of this incredible filtration performance, the HEPA Dust Cup Filter will quickly accumulate, inside the white filter folds, many fine dust particles that are difficult to see but which will eventually block or reduce your suction power - if not cleaned properly. Clean the HEPA Filter and Debris Screen after each use as described in this section.

1.To open the Dust Cup (container), push button and detach the Dust Cup (container ). (Fig. 2)
