IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR UPRIGHT VACUUM.
Always connect to a polarized outlet (one slot is wider than the other). Unplug from outlet when not in use and before conducting maintenance. When using an electrical  appliance, basic precautions should be observed, including the following:
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY:

• Do not leave the vacuum cleaner when it is plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.

• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

• Do not allow it to be used as a toy.
  Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

• Do not use it for any purpose other than described in this user guide. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

• Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, have it repaired at an authorized service center.

• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Do not handle a plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.

• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep openings free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.

• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.

• Turn OFF all controls before plugging or unplugging the vacuum cleaner.

• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

• Do not use it to pick up flammable or combustible materials (lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, etc.) or use in areas where they may be present.

• Do not use a vacuum cleaner in an enclosed space filled with vapors given off by oil-based paint, paint thinner, some moth-proofing substances, flammable dust, or other explosive or toxic vapors.

• Do not use it to pick up toxic material (chlorine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, etc.).

• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.

• Do not use without filters in place.

• Do not pick up hard or sharp objects such as glass, nails, screws, coins, etc.

• Use only on dry, indoor surfaces.

• Keep appliance on a level surface.

• Do not carry the vacuum cleaner while it is running.

• Unplug before connecting or disconnecting the Pet TurboEraser® Tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This model is for household use only.
WARNING

• Before using your vacuum, make sure the dirt tank is in the locked position and that all filters, both pre-and post-filters, are in place. DO NOT operate your vacuum without these filters.
• Plastic film can be dangerous. To avoid the danger of suffocation, keep away from children.
• Do not plug in your vacuum UNTIL you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn the power switch OFF and disconnect the polarized plug from the electrical outlet BEFORE performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.

THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet. Do not change the plugin anyway.

Product View

WARNING
Do not plug in your vacuum until you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.

NOTE: The crevice tool is stored inside the extension wand.

Assembly

A Phillips-head screwdriver is required for Assembly in Step 1.

Place the upper handle onto the base and push it down. Attach the handle with the 2 screws taped to the handle in a plastic bag.| Insert the extension wand base and turn it to the right to lock in place.

Insert the hose end into the back of the vacuum and twist right to lock it in place.| Wrap the hose up and around the hose wrap on the handle. Slide the end of the hose into the vacuum base.

Now, put your accessory tools on the vacuum and you’re ready to go!

NOTE: Pet hair fabric tool does not store on board.
NOTE: The Powerfoot will not suction properly unless the Stretch Hose is firmly attached.

Power ON & Settings

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts while the vacuum is turned ON, always move the vacuum via the rolling wheels by using the upper handle at the back of the vacuum. Do not carry the vacuum while it is running. Always place the vacuum on the floor with the handle in an upright position when using tools.

Press the red power pedal with your foot to turn the vacuum ON and once again to turn your vacuum OFF .| Press the recline pedal and pull the handle back towards you.

Turn the dial on the foot of the vacuum to the desired setting. If the dial is difficult to turn, tilt the vacuum back slightly to take the weight off the foot while turning.
Lowest setting – For low pile carpet or bare floors.  To pick up debris, it may be necessary to move up one set.
Medium setting – For medium pile carpet.
Highest setting – For high pile and most shag carpet.

TIP: For optimal carpet cleaning performance, adjust to the lowest practical setting. If your vacuum is difficult to push, adjust to the next higher setting.

Automatic Cord Rewind

To plug your vacuum in, gently pull the cord out of the automatic cord rewind and stop at the yellow mark on the cord. Do not pull past the red mark. Once you have the desired amount of cord, plug it into the outlet.| When you finish using your vacuum, unplug it from the outlet. Hold onto
the plug and press the automatic cord rewind button until it’s fully retracted.
If the cord doesn’t fully retract on the first try, pull a little bit of cord out and
press the rewind button again.

NOTE: Rotating brush roll continues to rotate while tools are in use. Never place fingers under the vacuum when it is running. Never place power foot on furniture or uneven
surfaces. Do not place the vacuum close enough to objects to pull into the rotating brush.
NOTE: Certain carpets and low humidity conditions may generate small static discharges. Static discharges are entirely harmless and are not associated in any way with the main power supply.

Emptying the Dirt Tank

WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn Power Pedal OFF and disconnect the polarized plug from the electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.

NOTE: The dirt tank may be washed in warm water with a mild detergent. Make sure it is completely dry before replacing it.

Cleaning the Pre-Motor Filter ****

WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn the power pedal OFF and disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.
WARNING
Do not operate a vacuum with damp or wet filters or without all filters in place.

Press the tank release button and pull out to remove the dirt tank.| Remove carbon and foam filter from the lid. Hand wash in warm water and rinse well; mild detergent may be used if desired.

Allow the filter to air dry completely before placing back into the tank lid. The carbon filter should be on top of the foam filter.| Return tank back on vacuum and press firmly until you hear a “click”.

Maintaining the TurboEraser® Tool

| |
---|---|---
Twist gray collar counter-clockwise, until slot appears,  then separate faceplate.| Remove brush roll, belt, and paddle wheel. Inspect
for damages and replace if necessary.| To reassemble, align two clips on each end of the paddlewheel with a belt on and pop them back into place. Place brush roll with belt back in. The faceplate will not close properly if all parts are not aligned correctly.

Replacing the Brush & Belt ****

Unplug the vacuum, turn it over and unscrew six (6) Phillips-head screws to remove the bottom cover. Lift brush straight out.| Clean debris from brush roll. Inspect by placing it on its end and spinning. The brush roll should spin freely, multiple times with one flick. If it doesn’t, replace the brush roll. Check belt for wear or cuts and replace if necessary.

Replace the brush roll and belt by looping the belt over the motor shaft and the brush roll. Line up the end caps and pull the brush forward into place. This will stretch the belt. Return the bottom covers back on and replace the screws.

Clearing a Clog

---|---|---
Remove the stretch hose from the back of the vacuum by twisting it to the left. Remove any debris
that may have gotten clogged.| Check the foot hose on the back of your vacuum
