DUST BAG CHANGING
For best cleaning results, the dust bag
should be changed often. The CHECK BAG
indicator will come on when the bag needs
to be changed or the airflow is blocked.
NOTE: See REPLACEMENT PARTS for part
number detail (page 5).
1. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner.
2. Remove hose from canister.
3. Pull hood release out and up, then lift
canister hood.
Note: The bag mount will flip forward
after removing bag. This will prevent the
hood from closing until a new bag is
installed.
5. Check the motor safety filter and
replace, if necessary. See MOTOR SAFETY
FILTER CLEANING (page 18).

DO NOT bend or crease the middle of the
cardboard when installing the bag into the
bag mount slots.
6. Rotate bag mount down and install bag

the cardboard tab locks into position and
the holes align.

so that none of the bag will be pinched by
the hood.

9. Insert hose into canister until it snaps in
place.
10. Plug cord into wall outlet.
A
CAUTION
NEVER REUSE A DUST BAG. Very fine
materials, such as carpet freshener, face
powder, fine dust, plaster, soot, new
carpet lint, etc. can clog the bag and
cause it to burst before it is full, which
may damage the vacuum cleaner motor.
Change bag more often when vacuuming
these materials.
