Assembly

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

2. Insert the extension wand base and turn it to the right to lock in place.

3. Insert the stretch hose end into the back of the vacuum and twist right to lock in place.
   

4. Wrap hose up and around the hose wrap on the handle. Slide end of hose into vacuum base.
   

5. To install the optional Febreze® filter, press the tank release button and pull tank from vacuum. Lift tab to access and remove foam filter from lid.
   

6. Replace foam filter with Febreze® filter. Close tank lid. Place tank back on vacuum and press firmly until you hear a “click.”
   

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

NOTE: The powerfoot will not suction properly unless the 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 vacuum on floor with handle in upright position when using tools.

1. Press the red power pedal with your foot to turn the vacuum ON and once again to turn your vacuum OFF.
   

2. Press the recline pedal and pull handle back towards you.
   

3. 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 setting.
   Medium settin g – 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

1. 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.
   

2. 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 powerfoot on furniture or uneven surfaces. Do not place vacuum close enough to objects to pull into 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

1. Empty once tank is full.
   

2. Press the tank release button and pull out to remove dirt tank.
   

3. Hold the dirt tank over a trash container. Press the bottom release button to empty. Once empty, close the lid.

5. Clean cyclone with warm water and mild detergent. Let cyclone completely dry before replacing. To replace, fit into place and twist to the right.

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

2. Remove foam filter from lid. Hand wash in warm water and rinse well; mild detergent may be used if desired.

Maintaining the TurboEraser® Tool

2. Remove brush roll, belt, and paddle wheel. Inspect for damages and replace if necessary.
   

3. To reassemble, align two clips on each end of paddle wheel with belt on and pop back into place. Place brush roll with belt back in. Faceplate will not close properly if all parts are not aligned correctly.
   

Replacing the Brush & Belt

1. Unplug vacuum, turn over and unscrew six (6) Phillips-head screws to remove the bottom cover. Lift brush straight out and remove belt.
   

2. Clean debris from brush roll. Inspect by placing on its end and spinning. The brush roll should spin freely, multiple times by one flick. If it doesn’t, replace brush roll. Check belt for wear or cuts and replace if necessary.
   

3. 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 bottom cover back on and replace the screws.
   

Clearing a Clog

1. Remove the hose from the back of the vacuum by twisting it to the left. Remove any debris that may have gotten clogged.

2. Check the foot hose on the back of your vacuum down towards the bottom. If necessary, remove the screw from the foot hose and check for clogs.
   

3. Check the air passageway on the bottom of your vacuum. Remove the bottom cover and the brush. Remove any debris.
