WHEN USING AN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these operating instructions carefully before using.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

1. Always disconnect the plug when the machine is not in use and before doing any maintenance or cleaning of the machine.
2. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
3. “This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.”
4. Use the machine only as described on the present manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

FOR U.S.A. and CANADA COMMERCIAL MARKET ONLY

Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding instructions.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: This machine must be properly grounded to protect the operator from electrical shock, in a commercial environment, in accordance with safety regulations. Read the safety instructions below before operating the machine.

120 V machines have this kind of three-prong plug at the end of a three-wire electrical cord. The grounding pin on this plug grounds the machine when it is plugged into a three-prong outlet.

A grounding adapter must be installed as shown here if only two-prong outlets are available. The outlet box must be grounded and the grounding tab (or wire) on the adapter must be installed under the head of screw in the centre of the outlet cover. 120 Volt plugs are available at most hardware stores. Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.

• Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
• The green or (green/yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire.
• When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to the grounding pin only.
• Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets. Do not use extension cord more than 50 feet (15 m.) long.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Your vacuum cleaner international marking to indicate the ON and OFF position of the main power switch. The 1 indicates ON and the 0 indicates OFF.

3 WAY SWITCH: on request for some Countries, the machine can be supplied with a 3 way power switch.

Position : 1 both the motors are working
0 off
2 only the vacuum motor is working.

Technical improvements
Lindhaus reserves the right to make technical improvements and modifications without prior notice. For this reason, the appliance can deviate in details from the leaflet information.

KNOW YOUR MACHINE

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Insert the chrome handle into the hole in the top of the switch housing. Push down until the button snaps into the proper position.

2. Insert the one end of the vacuum hose into the top of the vacuum body and the other into the extension wand provided. Insert the wand into the hole and clip on the right side of the machine. Snap the hose into the clip below the handle as shown.

3. Wind the electrical cord around the cord hook on the handle and the swing out cord hook on the front of the machine. To release the cord, push the buttons between the switch and bag full light and push the handle down. Slide the handle back into the locked position before using the machine

4. Install the bag housing on the brush housing and slide the lock to the left as shown and screw the enclosed safety screw.

5. Switch on the machine (power switch), depress the foot pedal (by foot) and move the vacuum body in working position. The brush motor will automatically turn on

BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTEMENT
Your carpet cleaner has several built in safeguards to protect components from overload damage. The electronic circuitry that operates the red light on the base indicates that the motor is overloading because the brush height is set too low or there are debris hindering the movement of the brush roller. If the overload is excessive the circuitry will shut off the brush motor and the red light will stay on until the problem is corrected. When the problem is corrected turn the switch off, wait for a moment and turn it back on. Make sure you unplug the machine while inspecting the brush roller for debris.

STEP 1: With machine on and handle in normal operating position, slowly rotate brush adjustment knob clockwise until red light turns on.

STEP 2: Turn brush adjustment knob slowly counterclockwise until red light turns off.
NOTE : If the red light goes on and off intermittently while vacuuming, this is correct. If the red light stays on all the time, turn the knob as STEP 2.

In case of fringed carpets the machine must be used from the centre to the outside. With one colour carpet or those whose weaves have tendency to form lines, it’s better to follow the direction of the material to get a consistent surface appearance.

3 WAY SWITCH (option)
Your upright vacuum cleaner can be equipped with a 3 way switch. (See instructions on page 4)

On board attachments are provided for above floor vacuuming requirements. Additional optional attachments including a hard floor tool can be provided by your dealer.

With the special blower port accessory (optional) your vacuum cleaner becomes a blower.
CAUTION! ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MACHINE MAINTENANCE.

MAINTENANCE

CHANGING THE PAPER FILTER BAG
Depress the latch on the top of the bag compartment and remove it.

Remove the full dust bag by holding the top of the bag and pulling down and out. Insert new bag by sliding it in and up (refer to the illustration printed on the bag).

Before installing a new bag, open the hole completely with a finger. Never operate the machine without an original Lindhaus paper bag.

MOTOR PROTECTION FILTERFILTER

This filter protects the vacuum motor from damage due to spilled paper bags. It provides for the 3rd stage of filtration. Clean the filter every third time that the paper bag is changed. Remove filter from grill and wash out in warm water. Let the filter dry completely before putting back into the machine. Never operate machine without the inlet filter.

CHANGING THE ELECTROSTATIC EXHAUST FILTER

The electrostatic exhaust filter catches any particles that may escape from the filter bag, vacuum inlet filter, or lower motor filter. The electrostatic exhaust filter is located just below the carrying handle. Replace the filter every fifth time you change the bag (more often in very dusty applications). To replace the electrostatic filter:

1. Depress the latch on the top of the filter grill and remove it.
2. Remove the filter from the filter holder and insert a new original Lindhaus filter in its space (when you put the grill into place, with one hand hold the filter while the other insert the grill).
3. Snap the filter cover back into place.

CHANGING THE BRUSH

• Changing the brush is not difficult but you may want your dealer to replace it while inspecting other components for wear.
• Rotate all the red clips until they are parallel to the roller
• Rotate the bottom cover until it’s removed from the front hooks
• Rotate the brush roller in parallel way from the base.
• Hold the pulley with one hand and slide out the roller from the transmission support
• Keep the side brush support for the new brush roller.
• When necessary replace both the brush supports with bearings.
• Assemble the new brush following in reverse order the above instructions.

ATTENTION: Hook the brush cover to all the front hooks, rotate until it’s perfectly closed with the base, rotate all the red clips 90° to lock the cover.

CHANGING THE BRUSH ROLLER

1. Lay the machine on the left side.
2. Slide the side cover (item n. 46/page 14) off the end of the brush housing.
3. Grasp the center of the brush by the bristles and pull it up and out the right side of the housing (reuse this piece after inserting the new brush).
4. Pull out the brush support from the brush (part n.40- Pag. 14). This metal support with ball bearing will be reused with a new brush roller.
5. Slide brush end transmission side into the base. Push the roller to the end and if necessary rotate a bit until the teeth are engaged on the transmission joint.
6. Make sure also that the side bristles are inside the aluminum roller support using the side door for help.
7. Follow steps 1-3 in reverse order to reassemble.

CHANGING THE FILTER
Replace or wash the filter for brush motor protection at least once a year.
